Uses and synthesis of Polydextrose powder

Polydextrose powder is a chemical with the formula (C6H10O5)n. Polyglucose is easily soluble in water, solubility of 70%, PH value of 10% aqueous solution is 2.5-7.0, no special taste, is a food component with health function, can supplement the water-soluble dietary fiber needed by the human body. After entering the human digestive system, Polydextrose produces special physiological and metabolic functions, thereby preventing constipation and fat deposition. Due to ion exchange and the formation of colloids, Polydextrose powder can reduce the absorption of toxic and carcinogenic substances by the human body, regulate cholesterol levels, reduce intestinal β-glucose and glycosidase activity, and exclude the causes of vascular sclerosis.

Functions of Polydextrose powder

Increase dietary fiber intake and promote intestinal health: Polydextrose is a high-quality source of dietary fiber, which can effectively increase dietary fiber intake and make up for the general lack of dietary fiber in modern diets. Dietary fiber is essential for intestinal health, which can promote intestinal peristalsis, increase stool volume, and prevent constipation. At the same time, polydextrose can be used as food for intestinal flora, promote the growth of intestinal probiotics, maintain the balance of intestinal flora, and improve intestinal health.

Stabilize blood sugar and assist blood sugar control: Polydextrose is a non-digestible carbohydrate and will not be quickly absorbed by the small intestine, so it will not cause a significant increase in blood sugar and insulin levels. Studies have shown that foods with added polydextrose have a lower glycemic index (GI). This is beneficial for diabetic patients and people who need blood sugar control, and can help them better control their blood sugar levels.

Prebiotic effect, improve intestinal flora: Polydextrose can be fermented and utilized by intestinal flora, especially bacteria in the colon. During the fermentation process, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) such as butyric acid, acetic acid, and propionic acid are produced. Short-chain fatty acids are the energy source for intestinal cells, which can promote the health of intestinal cells, enhance intestinal barrier function, regulate intestinal immunity, and inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria. At the same time, the fermentation process of polydextrose can promote the growth and reproduction of intestinal probiotics (such as bifidobacteria, lactobacilli, etc.), improve the composition and function of intestinal flora, and maintain the balance of intestinal microecology.

Application of Polydextrose powder

Dietary fiber source and fiber fortification: One of the main applications of polydextrose is as a dietary fiber source, which is used to increase the dietary fiber content of food and meet consumers' demand for dietary fiber intake.

Low-calorie bulk agent: Since polydextrose has extremely low calories, it can be used as a low-calorie bulk agent to replace part of sugar or fat in low-calorie, reduced-sugar, and sugar-free foods, increase the volume and weight of food, improve the satiety and taste of food, and reduce the total calories.

Texture modifier and stabilizer: Polydextrose has certain thickening, moisturizing, and stability properties, and can be used as a texture modifier and stabilizer to improve the taste, texture, and stability of food.

Sugar substitute (partial replacement): Although polydextrose has a very low sweetness, it can be used in combination with other high-intensity sweeteners (such as aspartame, sucralose, stevioside, etc.) to partially replace sugar in sugar-free or low-sugar foods, reduce the amount of sugar used, and reduce the sugar content and calories in food.

Production methodprocess of Polydextrose powder

Glucose, sorbitol and citric acid were mixed at a ratio of 89:10:1, and vacuum polycondensation was performed in the molten state. The melted polymer is cooled, ground, neutralized with potassium hydroxide and decolorized to obtain a 70% transparent solution. Polydextrose powder can be prepared by neutralizing and dry mixing with potassium hydroxide or potassium bicarbonate
