Tate & Lyle’s STA-LITE® Polydextrose is a soluble fibre with prebiotic properties and physiological effects on gut health such as stimulating the bowel function and the production of short chain fatty acids associated with a sound digestive system. It also induces a low glycemic response while being very well tolerated.
At only 1 kcal/g, it can be used to reduce full calorie ingredients such as sugars and/or fat without compromising on taste or texture.
At the same time the product allows increasing fibre content in finished food products in order to make nutritional claims such as ‘source of fibre’ or ‘high in fibre’.
Therefore it enables manufacturers to improve the nutrient profile of mainstream food and beverage products and deliver to the market what consumers demand.
STA-LITE® Polydextrose aims at tapping into healthy-eating trends and at delivering nutritional benefits for the whole family. It gives the opportunity to position existing products as desirable and ‘better-for-you’ with the possibility to alert consumers to this change on package labeling.
Tate & Lyle’s recent consumer research can help you to drive and to support your brand positioning. For the latest nutrition and consumer information, visit ww.tateandlyle.com/keepinshape.
Tate & Lyle has built a new STA-LITE® Polydextrose production line in Europe. Located in the Netherlands, this production facility shortens the supply chain and is the first of its kind in Europe.
