Polydextrose is a distinctive form of dietary fiber with a multitude of applications in the food industry. This synthetic polymer of glucose and sorbitol serves as a low-calorie bulking agent, humectant, stabilizer, and texturizer. It′s been used as a substitute for sugar, fat, and other calorie-laden ingredients in the food sector for several years. It′s also been utilized in various industries for its capacity to enhance the solubility and bioavailability of certain compounds. Further, polydextrose has been researched for potential health advantages, including prebiotic effects, better glycemic regulation, and increased satiety. It undergoes slow fermentation in the large intestine by resident bacteria. This fermentation process yields short-chain fatty acids, beneficial for gut health. Furthermore, polydextrose is believed to function as a prebiotic, bolstering the growth of gut-friendly bacteria. It also heightens the viscosity of intestinal contents, which can decelerate glucose absorption and enhance glycemic regulation.
