Applications of Resistant Dextrin in Food Industry
What is Resistant Dextrin?
Soluble Dietary Fiber, Enhanced Performance
Resistant dextrin is a type of soluble dietary fiber made from starch through processes such as acid hydrolysis and enzymatic hydrolysis, also known as resistant maltodextrin. It has good solubility, thermal stability, and chemical stability. Resistant dextrin appears as a colorless or light yellow powder, is easily soluble in water, and has characteristics such as low sweetness, low calories, and high dietary fiber content, making it one of the most widely used functional dietary fibers currently.
Health Benefits
Intestinal Health
As soluble dietary fiber, promotes intestinal peristalsis, improves constipation, and maintains intestinal microecological balance for optimal digestive wellness.
Blood Sugar Management
Low glycemic index (GI=3-5), helps control postprandial blood sugar levels, suitable for diabetic individuals and blood sugar conscious consumers.
Weight Management
Low calorie, high satiety, helps reduce calorie intake and supports weight control for health-conscious consumers seeking balanced nutrition.
Cholesterol Reduction
Can absorb cholesterol in intestines, reducing total blood cholesterol and LDL levels, supporting cardiovascular health.
Application Advantages
High Fiber Fortification
Easily achieve "high fiber" nutritional claims, adding 6-10g resistant dextrin per 100g of product for dietary fiber fortification.
Low Sugar Formulation
Replaces part of sugar content, achieving low-sugar or sugar-free formulations, suitable for sugar reduction needs and healthy positioning.
Texture Improvement
Improves chewiness of energy bars, crispness of cookies and chips, and texture of extruded snacks for optimal consumer experience.
Cost Effectiveness
Compared to other dietary fibers, resistant dextrin offers excellent cost-performance ratio for large-scale production.
