Polydextrose Liquid

Product Description

1. Physicochemical Properties

• Composition: A polymer of glucose (C₆H₁₀O₅)ₙ, primarily linked by 1,6-glycosidic bonds, with trace amounts of sorbitol or citric acid.

• Appearance: Refined to a clear, viscous liquid (may appear pale brown pre-neutralization), odorless with a neutral taste.

• Solubility:

• Fully miscible in water (up to 80% w/w solutions at 20°C), ideal for high-concentration formulations.

• Sparingly soluble in ethanol and partially soluble in glycerin/propylene glycol.

• Thermal Stability: Resists decomposition under high temperatures (suitable for baking, pasteurization).

• Viscosity: ~35×10³ Pa·s for 50% aqueous solutions, ensuring smooth integration into syrups and coatings.

2. Functional Advantages

• Dietary Fiber Enrichment:

• Provides water-soluble dietary fiber (4 kcal/g), enhancing gut motility and reducing cholesterol absorption.

• Acts as a prebiotic to stimulate beneficial gut microbiota growth.

• Sugar Reduction:

• Low sweetness (10% of sucrose) and glycemic index, compliant with sugar-free/diabetic product standards.

• Retains moisture in baked goods, extending shelf life without sugar crystallization.

• Versatility:

• Compatible with acidic systems (pH 2.5–7.0), stable in beverages like carbonated drinks and fruit juices.

• Lowers freezing points in frozen desserts (e.g., ice cream) for creamier textures.

3. Certifications & Compliance

• FCC-Grade: Meets Food Chemicals Codex standards for global food safety.

• Clean Label: Non-GMO, gluten-free, and suitable for vegan/vegetarian formulations.

Application Scenarios

• Beverages: Enhances fiber content in functional drinks without altering clarity or flavor.

• Confectionery: Replaces sugar in gummies and chewable tablets.

• Dairy: Improves texture in low-fat yogurts and milk powders.
