Soluble tapioca fiber is processed from starch. The process is roughly to first decompose starch into dextrin at high temperature, and then form some digestion-resistant glycosidic bonds during the re-polymerization process, thereby producing soluble tapioca fiber. Then through separation, purification and refining, high-purity soluble tapioca fiber products are obtained, which are soluble dietary fibers. Soluble tapioca fiber has low calories (0.5kal/g~1.4kal/g), is heat-resistant, acid-resistant, pressure-resistant, and freeze-resistant, is easy to store, and will not change the final quality of the product when added as dietary fiber to food. So it is added to many foods.
Soluble tapioca fiber syrup can change the secretion of digestive tract hormones and the activity of digestive enzymes in the intestine, inhibit the digestion and absorption of sugar, thereby lowering blood sugar. It won't affect people's ketosis and blood sugar.
Long-term and stable intake of soluble tapioca fiber can fully unleash the biological functions of beneficial intestinal bacteria such as lactobacilli and bifidobacteria.
Soluble tapioca fiber can also absorb bile acids, fats, etc. to reduce their absorption rate, which can lower blood lipids and improve lipid metabolism in patients with various types of hyperlipidemia.
Soluble tapioca fiber syrup can also reduce hunger, lose weight, and prevent dental caries.
