Polydextrose Powder (Type II)
Polydextrose Powder (Type II) is a special carbohydrate with low calorie, sugar-free and low glycemic index. It has the characteristics of water-soluble dietary fiber and prebiotic. It is formed by high-temperature melt polycondensation of naturally occurring glucose, a small amount of sorbitol, and citric acid. It is a polysaccharide composed of randomly cross-linked glucose. As one of the dietary fibers with the best functions and properties, polydextrose powder (type II) has developed rapidly in recent years and has been approved for use in more than 50 countries. It is increasingly used in many foods, beverages, and health foods.
Features of Polydextrose Powder (Type II)
Polydextrose powder has good water solubility and can prepare aqueous solutions with concentrations up to 80%. It is insoluble in ethanol but partially soluble in glycerol and propylene glycol.
Polydextrose powder has good stability. In the laboratory, polydextrose powder was observed under exposed conditions of 25°C, 45°C and 60°C and could be stored stably for more than 90 days.
Polydextrose powder can be used as a wetting agent to prevent or slow down the adverse changes of moist food, making the food neither dehydrated nor absorb water.
Polydextrose powder is a product of random polymerization. It has many types of glycosidic bonds and a complex molecular structure. It is difficult to be digested and utilized by humans or animals, so it has low calories.
Polydextrose powder can promote the growth of beneficial intestinal bacteria, adjust the balance of intestinal flora, and inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.
