Polydextrose is commonly used as a dessert mixes,replacement for sugar, starch, and fat in commercial beverages, cakes, candies, breakfast cereals, gelatins, frozen desserts, puddings, and salad dressings. Polydextrose is frequently used as an ingredient in low-carb, sugar-free, and diabetic cooking recipes. It is also used as a humectant, stabiliser, and thickening agent.
