Audited Supplier Introduction of Polydextrose
Polydextrose is a d-glucose polymer made from glucose, sorbitol and citric acid,
which is heated to a molten mixture in a specific proportion and condensed in vacuum.
Polydextrose is an irregular polycondensation of d-glucose, mainly by 1, 6-glucosidine bond binding,
with an average molecular weight of about 3200 and a limit molecular weight of less than 22,000.
The average degree of polymerization was 20.
Polydextrose is a water-soluble dietary fiber alias. White or off-white solids, soluble in water, solubility of 70%, 10% aqueous solution of the PH value of 2.5-7.0, no special taste, is a kind of health functional food components, can add the human body needs water-soluble dietary fiber. After entering the human digestive system to produce specific physiological and metabolic functions, thus preventing constipation and fat deposition.
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.
