Polydextrose

รายละเอียดสินค้า

Polydextrose is a kind of soluble dietary fiber and prebiotic. Its energy is only 1 kJ / g. it is easily soluble in water. In most systems, it shows rheological properties similar to sucrose, can replace some sugar and fat, and can improve food texture and taste. It was patented in 1973 and approved by FDA in 1981.

Due to the formation of ion exchange and colloid, it can reduce the absorption of toxic and carcinogenic substances by the human body, regulate the cholesterol level and reduce the intestinal β－ Glucose, glucosidase activity, eliminating the inducement of vascular sclerosis, etc. It can be used as thickener, filler and formula agent in food additives.

It is an important raw material for making low calorie, low fat, low cholesterol and low sodium healthy food. It can show some important functions in food, such as: necessary volume, good quality taste, can improve the oily taste of food, has a low freezing point, is suitable for cold meals and sweet snacks, and will not cause dental caries. It can reduce the amount of sugar, fat and starch in food and has low calorie (4.18kj/g). It is used in low sugar food and is suitable for diabetics. This product can also be added milk and water separately in daily life.

ประโยชน์ด้านสุขภาพ

• Low calorie

Polydextrose is the product of random polymerization. It has many kinds of glycosidic bonds, complex molecular structure and difficult biodegradation. It is not absorbed when passing through the stomach and small intestine. About 30% of it is fermented by microorganisms in the large intestine to produce volatile fatty acids and CO2. About 60% of it is discharged from feces. The heat generated is only 25% of sucrose and 11% of fat. Due to the extremely low calorific value of it, it can rarely be converted into fat and will not cause obesity.

• Promote the absorption of nutrients

As a water-soluble dietary fiber, it can shorten the emptying time of food in the stomach, promote the secretion of digestive juice, facilitate the absorption and digestion of nutrients, shorten the time for contents (feces) to pass through the intestines, reduce the pressure on the colon, reduce the time for harmful substances in the intestines to contact the intestinal wall, promote intestinal movement, enhance the osmotic pressure of the colon, and dilute the concentration of harmful substances in the intestines, And push them out of the body.

Therefore, it can effectively improve intestinal function, promote defecation, eliminate constipation, prevent hemorrhoids, alleviate poisoning and diarrhea caused by harmful substances, improve intestinal flora and assist in inhibiting cancer.

• Prebiotics regulating intestinal flora balance

It is an effective prebiotic. After being ingested into the human body, it is not digested in the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract, but is fermented in the lower part of the gastrointestinal tract, which is conducive to the reproduction of beneficial intestinal bacteria (Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus) and inhibits harmful bacteria such as Clostridium and Bacteroides. It is fermented by beneficial bacteria to produce short chain fatty acids such as butyric acid, which reduces the intestinal pH value, helps to resist infection and reduces the risk of cancer. Therefore, It can provide food formulators with prebiotic ingredients beneficial to digestive tract health.

• Hypoglycemic response

It can improve the sensitivity of terminal tissue to insulin, reduce the requirement for insulin, inhibit insulin secretion, and hinder sugar absorption. It is not absorbed, so it can reduce blood glucose levels. It is very suitable for diabetes patients. Its relative glucose response is only 5-7, while that of glucose is 100.

• Promote the absorption of mineral elements

The addition of it in diet can promote the absorption of calcium in the intestine, which may be because it is fermented in the intestine to produce short-chain fatty acids, which acidify the intestinal environment, and the acidified environment increases the absorption of calcium.
