This specialty carbohydrate is 90% fiber and has application in many dairy foods
Dairy foods are generally not considered to be significant sources of fiber. Litesse® polydextrose from Danisco Sweeteners, Ardsley, N.Y., is a specialty carbohydrate that is 90% fiber and is ideal for use in many dairy applications. While this ingredient has been known worldwide as a premium-bulking agent for more than 20 years, it has only recently been recognized as a valuable fiber source. Recent definitions by the National Academy of Sciences and the American Association of Cereal Chemists recognize polydextrose as fiber.
