Application of polyglucose in health foods

Polyglucose has many application advantages in food, mainly: can replace the sugar and fat in food, has the effect of improving food texture and taste, refreshing taste, make food flavor easy to release, in various applications have the role of improving food flavor, widely recognized good dietary fiber source, can improve the digestive tract health probiotics, low blood sugar response, metabolism is not dependent on insulin, suitable for diabetics, satiety, help control weight, suitable for consumers who want to control carbohydrate intake;safety of polyglucosehas been confirmed by animal and human tests that polyglucose is highly safe. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (
FDA
) and the Food Organization of the United Nations
/
The World Health Organization (
FAO/WHO
) have both approved polyglucose as a safe food additive and are included in the U.S. Code of Use of Chemicals (
FCC
). At present, China, Japan, Australia and other
45
countries have approved the use of polyglucose. In addition, Japan's Ministry of Health and Health has confirmed polyglucose is a food, China included it in the national food additives.
the Joint Expert Committee on
Food Additives (
JECFA
) and the European Community Committee on Food Science (
EC/SCF
) require that polyglucose be added to food as a common agent on average The maximum amount of non-action is
90g/d
(
1.3g/kg bw
) or polyglucose
50g/d
. The average of its diarrhea threshold is higher than all current low-energy carbohydrate commodities, and the only possible side effect of polyglucose is flatulence.Application characteristics of polyglucose Polyglucose has many application advantages in food, mainly: can replace sugar and fat in food, has the effect of improving food texture and taste; Improve the role of food flavor, well-known good sources of dietary fiber, probiotics that improve digestive tract health, low blood sugar response, metabolism is not dependent on insulin, suitable for diabetics, satiety, help control weight, suitable for consumers who want to control carbohydrate intake, good tolerance.The application of polyglucose in health food the application in diabetic food At present, diabetes has no cure, effective control of diabetes, is also a long process, in addition to drug treatment, mainly rely on diet control. Therefore, proper adjustment of diet is the most important way to prevent and treat diabetes. Water-soluble dietary fiber (polyglucose) can slow stomach emptying, form a mucous membrane in the gastrointestinal tract, so that the digestion and absorption process of food nutrients slow down, adsorption of glucose and slow absorption. In this way, the sugar in the blood can only increase slowly, or insulin slightly insufficient, and will not immediately cause an increase in blood sugar concentration. In addition, water-soluble dietary fiber (polyglucose) also has the effect of inhibiting glycemic secretion, thereby reducing blood sugar levels in diabetic patients.Applications in constipation population food water-soluble dietary fiber (polyglucose) is taken to promote beneficial bacteria such as intestinal Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus lactobacillus, while producing a large number of short-chain fatty acids, such as acetic acid, acetic acid, folic acid and lactic acid, change the intestine
pH
, improve the reproductive environment of beneficial bacteria, thereby speeding up intestinal peristalsis, so that feces smoothly discharged.The application of infant food infants and young children, especially after weaborcing, the body Bifidobacteria plummeted, resulting in anorexia of diarrhea, stunting, reduced utilization of nutrients;because polyglucose has its unique moisture absorption, humidity control during processing is required to be below
30%
and temperature control is around
20
degrees C. If added to a liquid product, it can be dissolved with warm water and added by usage. Do not dehumidification. Sealed and kept in a cool, dry environment, must not be placed with toxic, harmful, corrosive substances.the main application scope of polyglucose and reference usage table as follows: application scope application examples add a quantity of health care products as constipation, diabetes, obesity and other health food raw materials and health care products carrier made of fiber tablets, capsules, oral fluids, punches, etc.
