Polydextrose: A Low-Calorie Dietary Fiber Supporting Satiety and Health-Oriented Food Innovation As consumers increasingly seek foods that support healthier eating patterns without compromising taste and convenience, dietary fiber has become an important ingredient in the development of functional and better-for-you food products. Among the various soluble dietary fibers available to food manufacturers, Polydextrose has attracted attention for its low-calorie profile, versatility and potential role in satiety management. According to a study reported by the China National Center for Biotechnology Development, consumption of refined polydextrose before a meal was associated with lower subsequent food and energy intake in a randomized crossover study. The study involved 21 participants and evaluated different intake levels of polydextrose before a test meal. The results indicated that participants consuming 6.3 g, 12.5 g or 25 g of polydextrose consumed less food during the subsequent meal compared with those who did not consume polydextrose. The effect was more pronounced at higher intake levels. Although further research is needed to understand the mechanisms and broader applications of these findings, such research highlights the potential of soluble dietary fiber as part of nutrition-focused product development. What Is Polydextrose? Polydextrose is a soluble dietary fiber produced through the polymerization of glucose with small amounts of sorbitol and citric acid. It is widely used as a functional food ingredient because of its favorable solubility, mild taste and relatively low energy value. Polydextrose is recognized as a low-calorie dietary fiber, providing approximately 1 kcal per gram, considerably lower than conventional carbohydrates that provide around 4 kcal per gram. Its combination of fiber functionality and low calorie contribution makes polydextrose particularly interesting for products positioned around fiber enrichment, calorie reduction and balanced nutrition. Functional Advantages of Bailong Chuangyuan Polydextrose Shandong Bailong Chuangyuan Bio-tech Co., Ltd. has developed polydextrose products as part of its soluble dietary fiber portfolio. One of the company's key technological advantages is its purification process. Traditional polydextrose production can result in residual glucose and sorbitol, darker color and an undesirable taste. Bailong Chuangyuan utilizes ultrafiltration and purification technology to remove residual components and improve product quality. The company's polydextrose can achieve a purity of 98% or above, while its improved sensory characteristics help broaden potential food applications. Bailong Chuangyuan also offers both powder and liquid polydextrose, allowing manufacturers to select an appropriate format according to their formulation and processing requirements. Key characteristics include: Soluble dietary fiber: Suitable for fiber-enriched food and beverage formulations. Low calorie contribution: Approximately 1 kcal/g, supporting calorie-conscious product concepts. Good water solubility: Suitable for a wide range of liquid and powdered formulations. Mild sensory profile: Designed to minimize interference with the original taste of finished products. High purity: Purified polydextrose with a content of 98% or above. Flexible formats: Available in powder and liquid forms for different processing needs. Applications Across Modern Food Categories Polydextrose can be incorporated into a broad range of food and beverage products, including functional beverages, dairy products, nutrition products, bakery products, confectionery, snacks and meal-replacement products. For product developers, its value is not limited to simply increasing dietary fiber content. Polydextrose can also be considered as part of a broader formulation strategy when brands are looking to balance fiber enrichment, calorie management, texture and sensory performance. This makes it particularly relevant to the development of products targeting today's growing interest in high-fiber, reduced-calorie and better-for-you nutrition. From Dietary Fiber to More Balanced Product Formulation The growing body of research surrounding dietary fiber and satiety reflects a broader shift in the food industry: consumers are increasingly interested not only in reducing sugar or calories, but also in improving the overall nutritional profile of everyday foods. Polydextrose offers food manufacturers an opportunity to integrate these considerations into existing formulations without significantly changing the sensory experience of the finished product. For brands developing functional foods, beverages, nutrition products or fiber-enriched formulations, high-quality polydextrose can serve as a versatile tool for creating products that better align with evolving consumer expectations for nutrition, functionality and convenience. With experience in functional food ingredients and a portfolio covering dietary fibers, prebiotics and healthy sweeteners, Bailong Chuangyuan continues to provide ingredient solutions designed to support the development of next-generation functional food products.

Growing Demand for Gut Health Solutions in Animal Nutrition Animal intestinal health plays a critical role in overall animal performance, affecting nutrient absorption, immune function, growth efficiency, and production quality. With increasing attention toward sustainable farming practices and reduced reliance on antibiotic growth promoters, the animal nutrition industry is exploring alternative solutions to maintain a balanced intestinal environment. Among these solutions, probiotics and prebiotics have gained significant interest due to their ability to regulate gut microbiota and support digestive health. While probiotics provide beneficial microorganisms, prebiotics serve as targeted nutritional substrates that selectively stimulate the growth and activity of beneficial bacteria already present in the gut. How Prebiotics Support Animal Intestinal Health Prebiotics are non-digestible functional carbohydrates that reach the intestinal tract and become substrates for beneficial microorganisms. Through selective fermentation, prebiotics help promote the growth of beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus, while supporting the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), including acetate, propionate, and butyrate. These biological processes contribute to: Maintaining gut microbiota balance by encouraging beneficial bacterial populations Supporting intestinal barrier integrity and digestive function Enhancing nutrient utilization efficiency Helping regulate immune responses Improving overall animal growth performance Research has demonstrated that prebiotics and synbiotic combinations can contribute to improved gut ecosystem stability and animal health outcomes across different species, including livestock and poultry. Prebiotic Ingredients for Modern Animal Nutrition Applications Different types of prebiotics provide unique functional properties, allowing nutrition developers to design customized solutions for specific animal health goals. Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) FOS is one of the most widely studied prebiotic ingredients. It can selectively promote beneficial bacteria, especially Bifidobacterium, and support a healthier intestinal microbial environment. In animal nutrition applications, FOS is commonly explored for its potential role in: Improving intestinal microbial balance Supporting digestive health Enhancing feed efficiency   Xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS) XOS is a highly effective prebiotic with strong selectivity toward beneficial microorganisms. Due to its low dosage requirement and excellent stability, XOS has attracted increasing attention in functional animal nutrition. Potential applications include: Modulating gut microbiota composition Supporting intestinal health during environmental or dietary stress Improving the efficiency of nutrient utilization Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) GOS has been widely recognized for its ability to support beneficial bacteria growth. In animal nutrition, GOS can be considered as a valuable ingredient for early-life nutrition strategies, particularly where establishing a balanced gut microbiome is important. Resistant Dextrin and Polydextrose As soluble dietary fibers,Resistant Dextrin and Polydextrose provide additional opportunities for animal nutrition formulation. Their functional advantages include: High digestive tolerance Excellent stability during processing Contribution to dietary fiber enrichment Support for microbial fermentation in the intestine These characteristics make them suitable for developing next-generation animal nutrition products focused on digestive wellness and sustainable growth.

Core Identity: The Battle of Science   While both are leading sugar substitutes, they offer different value propositions: Erythritol: Considered the "Safe Card" of zero-sugar options, famous for its natural zero-calorie label. Allulose: A rising star characterized by low glycemic response and the ability to undergo the Maillard reaction. It is noted for superior tolerance and functional benefits for blood sugar management.   Application Scenarios: Where They Win   1. The Baking Track Erythritol’s Weakness: It cannot participate in the Maillard reaction, often resulting in baked goods with dull color and a dry texture. Allulose’s "Maillard Magic": It produces a caramel color and crispy texture similar to sucrose. It also helps extend shelf life due to low hygroscopicity.Example: Morinaga Milk's Allulose brownies saw a 23% higher repurchase rate than traditional formulas.   2. The Beverage Market Erythritol’s "Cooling Trap": Its heat-absorbing dissolution creates a cooling sensation, making it ideal for sparkling waters. Allulose’s Breakthrough: It lacks the cooling sensation, making it better for tea, coffee, and dairy. It can also mask the bitter aftertaste of other artificial sweeteners. Example: CJ Group’s Allulose milk tea offers a richer flavor profile.   3. Healthy Snacks Erythritol's Limitation: It provides sweetness but lacks additional health functionality. Allulose’s "Functional Synergy": It can be paired with dietary fiber for "sugar control + satiety" snacks. Animal studies even suggest it may inhibit fat cell differentiation. Example: Quest protein bars saw a 40% sales increase after adding an Allulose version.   Consumer Decision Guide Choose Erythritol when: Making beverages that require a cooling effect (e.g., sparkling water). Managing short-term sugar control (e.g., fitness enthusiasts). Budget is a priority; it costs only about 60% as much as Allulose.   Choose Allulose when: Seeking an authentic sugar taste and texture in baking or dairy .Developing functional foods with weight loss or antioxidant claims. Targeting the high-end market with premium products.   Conclusion: A Future of ComplementarityThe future of sweeteners is not about choosing one over the other, but using them as complementary tools. Brands are encouraged to use Erythritol for sparkling water and energy bars to reduce costs, while using Allulose as the core of baking and functional snacks to create product differentiation.

Recently, Ding Zhongli, Vice-Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress and Chairman of the Central Committee of the China Democratic League, and Wang Guangqian, Vice-Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and Executive Vice-Chairman of the Central Committee of the China Democratic League, led a research delegation from the Central Committee of the China Democratic League on a visit to Bailong Chuangyuan to examine the intensive use of land and the efficient development of industries. They were accompanied by relevant leaders from the provincial, municipal and district levels, and the company’s management provided a briefing on the relevant matters. The research team gained a detailed understanding of Bailong Chuangyuan innovative practices in areas such as industrial development in multi-storey buildings, vertical development and output per mu. By constructing multi-storey factory buildings and digital workshops, Bailong Chuangyuan has shifted its approach to land use from a ‘sprawling’ model to a ‘vertical’ one. At the same time, it has optimised spatial layout through flexible production and intelligent scheduling, thereby achieving a high-quality development model characterised by efficient land use, green and low-carbon practices, and improved quality and efficiency. Ding Zhongli commended Bailong Chuangyuan’s land-saving and intensive land-use model, which maximises vertical space and optimises the use of existing land resources. He emphasised that the company should continue to deepen its efforts in intensive land use, digital transformation and green manufacturing, thereby providing replicable best practices for urban and rural land system reform and high-quality industrial development. Wang Guangqian expressed his hope that the company would continue to innovate, play a leading role and contribute to enhancing the efficiency of land resource utilisation. Inspired by this visit, Bailong Chuangyuan will further optimise land use and drive innovation to enhance efficiency, thereby pursuing a path of high-efficiency, low-carbon and sustainable development.

Introduction to Prebiotics   Definition: Non-digestible food ingredients that selectively stimulate the growth and activity of beneficial bacteria (Probiotics) in the colon.   The "Bifidogenic" Effect: Primarily targeting Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus.   Key Benefits for Pets:   1.Improved stool quality and odor control. 2.Enhanced immune response. 3.Better nutrient absorption (especially minerals).    Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) Source: Derived from sugar   Key Characteristics: Highly fermentable; the most widely researched prebiotic in pet nutrition.   Applications:   Digestive Support: Rapidly fermented by beneficial bacteria in the large intestine.   Pathogen Inhibition: Helps reduce levels of Clostridium perfringens.        Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) Source: Synthesized from lactose (dairy-based).   Key Characteristics: Highly stable under high-temperature processing (extrusion).   Applications:   Early Life Nutrition: Closely mimics the oligosaccharides found in maternal milk; ideal for puppy/kitten milk replacers.   Immune Modulation: Known for reducing inflammation and enhancing the intestinal barrier.      Xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS) Source: Derived from corn cobs    Key Characteristics: Super Prebiotic. Effective at extremely low dosages (0.1% – 0.5%) compared to FOS.   Applications:   Weight Management: Promotes satiety and improves lipid metabolism.   Precision Feeding: Selective fermentation that produces high levels of Butyrate (energy for colon cells).      Isomalto-oligosaccharides (IMO) Source: Enzymatically produced from starch (usually corn or tapioca).   Key Characteristics: Mildly sweet, highly soluble, and provides excellent mouthfeel in "wet" treats.   Applications:   Texture & Palatability: Often used in functional liquid treats or "churu" style pastes.   Dental Health: Unlike sugar, IMO is non-cariogenic (doesn't cause tooth decay), making it safe for dental chews.

We were pleased to welcome visitors to the China International Food Additives and Ingredients Exhibition (FIC 2026), held from March 17–19, 2026, at Hall 3, National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai). At this year’s exhibition, Shandong Bailong Chuangyuan Bio-tech Co., Ltd. showcased Allulose, a next-generation rare sugar that delivers the sweetness of sucrose with only a fraction of the calories. Naturally occurring in small amounts in fruits, Allulose demonstrated approximately 70% of the sweetness of sugar, while contributing near-zero calories and having minimal impact on blood glucose and insulin levels. Thanks to its sugar-like taste profile and functional performance, Allulose proved to be an ideal solution for sugar reduction without compromising taste. It offered excellent solubility, clean sweetness, and strong stability under various processing conditions, making it suitable for applications such as beverages, dairy products, bakery, confectionery, nutrition bars, and dietary supplements. Beyond sweetness, Allulose also highlighted its value in modern health-focused product development. It is widely recognized for its low glycemic response, tooth-friendly properties, and potential role in weight management and metabolic health, aligning well with global trends toward reduced sugar, low-calorie, and better-for-you formulations.
