10 February 2005 - Litesse® polydextrose is a speciality carbohydrate that is 1 Kcal/g and offers a wide range of physiological and functional benefits. It replaces sugar and reduces fat while improving flavour and texture in many food applications. Litesse® has the added benefit of being prebiotic and a soluble fibre.
A key element of the repositioning of Litesse® as a speciality carbohydrate is the broadening acceptance of Litesse® as a soluble fibre source. 'We are therefore delighted to see Australia, Argentina, France and New Zealand joining the growing list of countries, which recognise Litesse® as a fibre,' says Business Director, Henrik Bjerregaard.
