• Benefits of Polydextrose
  
  Polydextrose has demonstrated its versatility as both sugar and partial fat replacer in many foods. Low calorie products, in particular, benefit from the ability of polydextrose to mimic sugar and in some cases fat, superbly recreating the creamy, full-bodied sensory experience associated with fat and sugar.
  
  Calorie reduction occurs because polydextrose has an energy value of 1kcal/g compared with fat at 9 kcal/g and sugar at 4kcal/g. It is also a functional ingredient that can play a variety of roles in formulations.
  
  With a low sweetness itself, but ideal for use in combination with intense sweeteners, polydextrose has a superior clean taste which means it can be used in high proportions for up to 50% calorie reduction, even in products with sensitive flavour systems.
  
  Polydextrose is prebiotic, non-glycaemic and widely recognised as a source of dietary fibre suitable for enriching numerous applications, including beverages.
