Polydextrose
CAS Number: 68424-04-4
Polydextrose (E1200) is a synthetic soluble fiber and low-calorie bulking agent produced by random polymerization of glucose with sorbitol and citric acid. It provides only 1 kcal/g versus 4 kcal/g for sucrose and acts as a prebiotic fiber that resists small intestine digestion. Used at 2–10% in reduced-calorie baked goods, beverages, confectionery, and dairy to replace sugar bulk while adding dietary fiber claims.
