Water-soluble polydextrose is easily soluble in water, and can dissolve about 80% when the temperature reaches 25 °C, and the solubility is stronger when the temperature rises

Solution viscosity Under the same concentration, the viscosity of polydextrose solution is higher than that of sucrose solution and sorbitol solution

When the temperature is relatively high, polydextrose will fully absorb water when it is in a solid state, so it can also be used as a moisturizing agent to control the humidity change of food and play a certain antiseptic effect

Taste Polydextrose itself is not sweet, but it can be used with high-intensity, low-calorie sweeteners to make low-calorie desserts
