Polydextrose is a soluble fiber with prebiotic properties, used as a low-calorie bulking agent. It has a low glycemic response and only 1 kcal/gram. STA-LITE® Polydextrose is used to provide body and texture in reduced-calorie, no-added-sugar and high-fiber foods.
Ideal for low-calorie formulae
A non-sweet polysaccharide, STA-LITE® Polydextrose is an ideal bulking agent for reduced-sugar and reduced-fat formulations. Over the past two decades, STA-LITE® Polydextrose has been studied extensively and has proven its performance and reliability.
You can achieve a 37% calorie reduction by replacing full-calorie ingredients in ice cream with STA-LITE® Polydextrose and SPLENDA® Sucralose, and achieve excellent smoothness and flavour-perception.
