1. Monosaccharides are sugars that can no longer be hydrolyzed and are absorbed directly into the bloodstream, such as glucose. 

2. Disaccharides are formed by glycosidic bonds between two molecules of monosaccharides, such as sucrose. 

3. Polysaccharides are polysaccharide macromolecular carbohydrates composed of at least 10 monosaccharides with sugar chains bound by glycosidic bonds. At present, the sugar substitutes that have been approved for use in my country include maltitol, xylitol, erythritol, etc. 

source of e1200 polydextrose

polydextrose is used in at least fifty countries around the world, and the number is constantly increasing. Among them, Argentina, Brazil, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Egypt, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Poland, Spain, Singapore, and other countries can label dietary fiber, and in Japan, e1200 polydextrose has been confirmed as a food.  

Since dietary fiber helps balance the digestive tract, consuming a high-fiber diet is key to maintaining a healthy digestive tract. As a water-soluble dietary fiber, polydextrose can shorten the emptying time of food in the stomach, promote the secretion of digestive juice, and facilitate the absorption and digestion of nutrients. 

Polydextrose has a lower average dextrose equivalent DP than most carbohydrate polymers, and it forms a highly viscous gel-like matrix that contributes to a creamy and smooth mouthfeel. 

Polydextrose is about 1 cal/g, much lower than fat, has prebiotic properties, and also provides some satiety. Polydextrose exhibits a fat-like plasticizing effect by retaining moisture, which is required for dessert products. Therefore, polydextrose can be used as an effective fat substitute. 

Food additives can be used as a thickener, filler, or formulating agent. It is an important raw material for making low-calorie, low-fat, low-cholesterol, and low-sodium healthy foods. 

It can display some important functions in food such as necessary volume, good taste, can improve food oily taste, low freezing point, suitable for refrigeration meals, sweet desserts, and will not cause dental caries. It can reduce the amount of sugar, fat, and starch in food, with low calories (4.18 KJ/g). 

1. For lactic acid bacteria beverages

Although the active bacteria drink contains a certain amount of beneficial bacteria, there are few beneficial bacteria left after passing through the human digestive tract, and its nutritional and health care functions are greatly reduced. The nutritional and health functions of non-active bacterial beverages are extremely limited. 

As a prebiotic functional factor, e1200 polydextrose can effectively multiply probiotics such as lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria when used in lactic acid bacteria beverages. In addition, it can increase the solid content of beverages, and improve and enrich the taste. It is added to beverages without affecting the taste, color, and transparency of the product itself. 

2. For ice cream production 

3. For yogurt production 

 can be used as a prebiotic to provide food for probiotics and increase the activity of bacteria in yogurt. Polydextrose has good stability under low pH value, no sweetness and neutral taste, high viscosity, preventing sucrose recrystallization and starch re-aging, and other excellent properties. When used in yogurt, it can improve the taste and improve the shelf life of yogurt. stability.
