food ingredient Sugar Free Polydextrose powder soluble dietary fiber
What is it?
Polydextrose is made up of sugars linked in chains. It is made in laboratories. People use these sugar chains in food and as medicine. Polydextrose is taken by mouth for scaly, itchy skin (eczema), diabetes, impaired glucose tolerance (prediabetes), infant development, and as a prebiotic.
Polydextrose is lower in calories than regular sugar, and has 1 kcal/gram compared to 4 kcal/gram in normally digested carbohydrates.
In the pharmaceutical industry, it is used to impart low calorie flavor and fiber to marketed products,
many of them over-the-counter.
Because polydextrose is water soluble but indigestable, it has also been used as a fiber-bulking agent in the food industry for products that are typically low in fiber. In this way, manufacturers can claim on their food labels that the products have dietary fiber value.
