Polydextrose has been successfully incorporated into a wide range of foods including baked goods, beverages, confectionery and frozen desserts. It provides the bulk and appropriate textural and mouthfeel qualities usually associated with sugar while lacking the sweet taste and caloric value connected with the conventional food ingredient (Lauridsen, 2004). Polydextrose is well tolerated, and a mean laxative threshold of 90 g/day (1.3 g/kg bw) or 50 g as a single dose has been given (JFECFA, 1985).
