Resistant Dextrin

Resistant dextrin, also referred to as digestion-resistant maltodextrin, is a soluble dietary fiber made from starch. Its production involves a controlled enzymatic process, which renders it resistant to digestion in the small intestine, allowing it to reach the colon where it can be utilized by beneficial gut bacteria. Characterized by a neutral flavor and excellent solubility, resistant dextrin is a popular functional ingredient in the food industry. It is known to offer various health benefits, such as supporting digestive health by fostering the growth of probiotic bacteria, aiding in weight management due to its low-calorie nature, and helping to regulate blood sugar levels. With its versatility as a dietary fiber, resistant dextrin is used in a wide range of food products, from beverages and baked goods to nutritional supplements, offering manufacturers a way to enhance the nutritional composition of their products.
