Polydextrose
Litesse®*
is a water-soluble specialty carbohydrate which is manufactured
from glucose. It is particularly valuable in the production
of low calorie foods. Developed and manufactured by Danisco
Sweeteners, Litesse® is unique in being only partially metabolized
by the body. The result is that Litesse® contributes only
25% of the calories of sugar, and only 11% of the calories of
fats.
It can also improve the mouth-feel and texture of calorie reduced
foods. Litesse® is very versatile allowing calorie reduction,
sugar replacement, and fat reduction.
Litesse® has been labeled
as fiber in a number of countries around the world for many
years.
Litesse® is used in confections, beverages, frozen
deserts, cultured dairy products, baked goods, nutrition bars
and fruit
spreads and fillings.
