Ingredient Overview
Polydextrose is a glucose-based polymer used for fibre and bulk in food formulations. It can contribute solids where replacing sugar would otherwise change the body of a recipe.
Polydextrose is useful when a recipe needs bulk in addition to a sweet taste. It can help provide solids in formulations that use smaller quantities of sugar. The ingredient can be explored in confectionery, bakery and frozen-dessert concepts where the removal of sugar would otherwise change the body of the product.
