Application of Resistant Dextrin in Candy & Gum
What is Velfibra™Resistant Dextrin?
Soluble Dietary Fiber, Enhanced Performance
Velfibra™Resistant Dextrin is a low-molecular-weight water-soluble dietary fiber derived from non-GMO natural corn starch through processes including partial hydrolysis, polymerization, and separation. Its dietary fiber content reaches 82% or higher, classifying it as a soluble dietary fiber. It appears as a white to light yellow powder with a mildly sweet, neutral taste and excellent water solubility.
Velfibra™Resistant Dextrin resists digestion and absorption in the small intestine, passing intact into the large intestine where it is utilized by beneficial bacteria. Its unique properties make it ideal for health-conscious consumers and innovative food manufacturers seeking to create products that taste exceptional while meeting nutritional goals.
Unlike artificial sweeteners, Velfibra™Resistant Dextrin provides physiological functions including blood glucose regulation, intestinal environment improvement, and obesity prevention, making it perfect for clean label formulations that consumers trust.
Health Benefits
High Dietary Fiber Content
With fiber content exceeding 82%, it effectively supplements insufficient dietary fiber intake in daily diets, supporting overall digestive health.
Promotes Beneficial Gut Bacteria Growth
After reaching the large intestine intact, Velfibra™Resistant Dextrin is fermented and utilized by beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacteria, acting as a prebiotic to maintain gut microecological balance.
Stable Blood Glucose Response
Its resistance to small intestinal digestion and absorption means it does not cause significant blood glucose fluctuations, suitable for individuals managing blood sugar levels.
Low-Calorie Weight Management
At only 0.5-1.5 kcal/g, significantly lower than traditional sucrose, it helps reduce total caloric intake and supports weight management.
Application Advantages
Optimized Formulation
Excellent water solubility and low viscosity allow it to integrate easily into various candy formulations without affecting product texture or mouthfeel.
Improved Texture
Demonstrates excellent synergy with other sweeteners, compensating for the limitations of high-intensity sweeteners in texture and bulk to achieve a more natural sweetness experience.
Enhanced Flavor Performance
Mildly sweet and neutral flavor means it does not interfere with target product flavors, pairing perfectly with various taste and aroma profiles.
Clean Label Friendly
Outstanding processing stability, high fiber content (>82% for "high fiber" claims), and high daily tolerance (45g threshold) ensure formulation flexibility for clean label trends.
