Health advantage

Low calorie

Polyglucose is difficult to digest and use by humans or animals, so it has a lower calorie. A large number of animal or human experiments have confirmed that polyglucose has a low caloric value, about 1Kcal/g.

Intestinal health

Polyglucose has good water retention, which can promote intestinal peristalsis and stool discharge. After ingestion, short-chain fatty acids such as butyric acid, isobutyric acid, acetic acid, etc. are fermented in the large intestine, which helps to increase the number of beneficial bacteria in the intestine and reduce the number of harmful bacteria, which can indirectly improve human immunity, reduce inflammation and infection, and have a certain preventive effect on rectal cancer. It is not easy to increase blood sugar after the intake of nortrotrose, does not stimulate the secretion of insulin, and is suitable for diabetic patients. In addition, polyglucose can reduce the entry of triglycerides and cholesterol into lymphatic vessels, and the products of polyglucose degradation by intestinal microorganisms can inhibit the synthesis of cholesterol, and can absorb bile acid, the metabolic product of cholesterol, and jointly discharge from the body, thus hindering the absorption of cholesterol by the human body. Weight loss polyglucose can inhibit appetite and reduce food intake. It can also form a film on the gastrointestinal wall, wrap some fat to limit the absorption of fat in the digestive tract and promote the excretion of lipids, so as to achieve weight loss. Promote calcium absorption Polyglucose can increase calcium absorption and bone mineralization, and studies have shown that with the increase of polyglucose concentration, the calcium absorption of jejunum, ileum, cecum and large intestine in mice shows an increasing trend.

Application advantage

Water solubility

Polyglucose is easily soluble in water, the solubility is 80% at 25 ° C, the heating dissolves faster, and can be added to drinks as water-soluble dietary fiber.

High stability

Polyglucose is very stable, does not react with acid and base, and can be stably stored for more than 90 days under bare conditions. However, polyglucose powder is hygroscopic and must be well packaged.

Lower freezing point

Polyglucose can reduce the freezing point of frozen foods and is used in ice cream for better taste and resistance to melting. Moist polyglucose can be used as a humectant to prevent the dry fission of food caused by dehydration. In sweets and baked goods, polyglucose can regulate the rate at which water is absorbed or lost during storage.

High viscosity

At the same concentration, the viscosity of polyglucose solution was higher than that of sucrose solution and sorbitol solution. The viscosity of polyglucose solution decreases with the increase of temperature, which is similar to that of sucrose solution. Adding polyglucose to foods such as jellies and chewing gum can achieve better elasticity and taste.

In addition, polyglucose is also used in the pharmaceutical and daily chemical industry, which can be used to produce drug carriers, drug control release agents, etc., to improve the efficacy of drugs and reduce side effects; It can also be used as moisturizer, thickener, etc., for the production of skin care products and cosmetics.

With the improvement of consumer health awareness, the application of polyglucose in various kinds of food and beverage is more and more extensive, and the global polyglucose market is also continuing to grow. According to the Chinese People's Intestinal Health Report 2020, about 87.6% of Chinese people have intestinal health problems; Spring rain doctor data also shows that the number of intestinal health-related inquiries in 2022 reached 26.568 million, with a year-on-year growth rate of 45.7%. To solve intestinal problems and maintain intestinal health has become one of the main health consumption needs of consumers. As one of the water-soluble dietary fibers, polyglucose is a prebiotic component widely used in nutrition enhancement in various foods and beverages, and is often used in functional foods such as intestinal health, sports nutrition and weight loss.
