Polydextrose is a synthetic, water-soluble polysaccharide used as a prebiotic and research reagent. It is commonly applied in studies of lipid and glucose metabolism, including hyperlipidemia and type 2 diabetes models, and as a soluble dietary fiber in formulation research. The material typically has a weight-average molecular weight of about 2,000 Da and is supplied at approximately 95.3% purity for laboratory use.
- Water-soluble dietary fiber and prebiotic.
