Tapioca Polydextrose Powder: The Ultimate Sugar-Free, Prebiotic Fiber for Modern Formulations
Product Overview
Tapioca Polydextrose Powder is a premium, water-soluble dietary fiber derived from 100% natural non-GMO tapioca. This highly branched glucose polymer features a complex structure with mixed α- and β-glycosidic bonds and an average degree of polymerization of 12. Resistant to human digestive enzymes, it remains largely intact until it reaches the colon, where it functions as an effective prebiotic to support gut microbiome health.
With only 1 kcal per gram, an ultra-low glycemic impact, and outstanding stability under various processing conditions, it is the ideal multi-functional ingredient for reducing sugar, lowering calories, and boosting fiber in a wide spectrum of food, beverage, and nutritional products.
