POLYDEXTROSE

 Polydextrose CAS NO.:68424-04-4

Polydextrose is a kind of water-soluble dietary fiber. Compared with insoluble dietary fiber, polydextrose has more health function and advantage of processing. Same as insoluble dietary fiber, polydextrose has obvious functions of bulking faecal, relieving constipation, reducing the risk of bowel cancer. However, polydextrose has other functions which insoluble dietary fiber does not have or is not obvious. For example, it joins in cleaning internal cholic acid. And it can reduce serum cholesterol clearly, lead to satiety easily, and decrease glucose level after meals markedly. Because polydextrose owns characteristics such as low calorie, stability, tolerance, it can be widely applied to all kinds of food, especially functional food with low calorie and high fiber.

4. Application:

Based on the basic characteristics and physiological functions above, we can know that polydextrose has many application advantages in food. The major advantages are:

․ Can replace sugar and fat in food, and have a role to improve food texture and taste.

․ It refreshes taste, makes food flavor easily release and even improve food flavor.

․ A widely good cognitive source of dietary fiber.

․ It is a kind of prebiotic which can improve healthy digestive tract.

․ Low glycemic response. Its metabolism is not dependent on insulin, so it is suitable for people with diabetes.

․ Brings satiety and helps weight control. Thus it is suitable for customers who want to control carbohydrate intake.

5.Package:

25KGS/BAG

6.Storage:

Polydextrose powder is hygroscopic and absorbs significant amounts of moisture at relative humidities greater than 60%. Under dry storage conditions, and in original sealed packaging, polydextrose powders can be expected to retain stability for at least 3 years. Solution grades have a shorter shelf-life of 3 to 6 months (dependent upon grade) at an ambient temperature of 25°C, although this can be extended to 12 months through the use of refrigeration.

The bulk material should be stored in a cool, dry place in wellclosed containers.
