Polydextrose

Description:

Polydextrose is a synthetic polymer of glucose that is commonly used as a low-calorie bulking agent and sweetener in food products. It is classified as a soluble fiber and is often utilized in the formulation of low-sugar and sugar-free foods due to its ability to mimic the texture and mouthfeel of sugar without contributing significant calories. Polydextrose is produced through the polymerization of glucose and sorbitol, resulting in a complex structure that is not fully digestible by the human body, which contributes to its fiber-like properties. It is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by regulatory agencies and is well-tolerated by most individuals, although excessive consumption may lead to gastrointestinal discomfort. In addition to its use in food, polydextrose can also serve as a stabilizer and thickening agent in various pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications. Its hygroscopic nature allows it to retain moisture, making it beneficial in maintaining the freshness of products. Overall, polydextrose is valued for its versatility and functional properties in various industries.

Polydextrose is a synthetic polymer of glucose. It is a food ingredient classified as soluble fibre by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as well as Health Canada, as of April 2013. It is frequently used to increase the non-dietary fibre content of food, to replace sugar, and to reduce calories and fat content. It is a multi-purpose food ingredient synthesized from dextrose (glucose), plus about 10 percent sorbitol and 1 percent citric acid. Its E number is E1200. It was approved by FDA in 1981.
