Polydextrose is a D-glucose polymer made from glucose, sorbitol and citric acid by vacuum polycondensation after mixing and heating into a molten mixture in a specific proportion. Polydextrose is an irregular polycondensation of D-glucose, which is mainly combined with 1,6-glycoside bond. The average molecular weight is about 3200 and the limit molecular weight is less than 22000. Average degree of polymerization 20.

Polydextrose is a new type of water-soluble dietary fiber. So far, it has been approved by more than 50 countries to be used as a healthy food ingredient. It is widely used in the manufacture of fortified fiber food. After eating, it has the function of keeping the intestines and stomach unobstructed. Polydextrose not only has the unique functions of insoluble dietary fiber, such as significantly increasing fecal volume, enhancing defecation and reducing the risk of intestinal cancer, but also has functions that insoluble dietary fiber does not have or not obvious. For example, combined with the removal of cholic acid in the body, polydextrose can significantly reduce serum cholesterol, more easily lead to satiety, and can significantly reduce the blood glucose level after meals.
