Resistant dextrin, also known as indigestible dextrin, is a low-molecular water-soluble dietary fiber made from non-GMO natural corn starch. It is a white or yellowish powder or syrup with a relatively low sweetness (about 1/10 of the sweetness of sugar) and low calorie. It could be decomposed and gained low molecular soluble dextran when heated under the condition of acidic condition. It is readily soluble in water and forms a transparent solution.

Description
Resistant dextrin contains ingredients that are strongly resistant to human digestive enzymes, so the resistant dextrin is not digested and absorbed in the digestive tract, but directly enter the large intestine. Due to its ability to form gels, it also delays and inhibits the absorption and digestion of carbohydrates in the small intestine. In addition, resistant dextrin can also regulate the intestinal microbiota, which is beneficial to control the digestion and absorption of sugar, thereby reducing blood sugar. In short, resistant dextrin has the characteristics of high digestive tolerance, low glycemic index, low insulin index, low calories, and anti-cavity. Therefore, It plays multiple physiological roles and can be used in various foods such as protein bars, cereals, powder capsules, beverages and other nutritional products.

Function
Maintain normal blood sugar level
Resistant dextrin can not only prevent the diffusion of sugar in the form of gel, but also change the secretion of hormones in the digestive tract, delay the absorption of sugar in the intestine, and prevent the rapid rise of blood sugar. In addition, resistant dextrin can increase the sensitivity of peripheral tissues to insulin and reduce the need for insulin.
Lower blood cholesterol levels
Resistant dextrin can significantly lower blood cholesterol and reduce the risk of atherosclerosis. Continuous intake can also reduce the concentration of serum cholesterol, neutral fat and the body index volume, while absorbing bile acids and decreasing fat absorption rate. Therefore, resistant dextrin is often used to improve lipid metabolism and hyperlipidemia.
Weight control
As a low-calorie and indigestible dietary fiber, resistant dextrin is easy to absorb water and swell, which provides a feeling of satiety and helps to delay hunger. By acting as a meal replacement, resistant dextrin can reduce food intake and effectively control body weight.
Lighten skin
Due to its ability to inhibit the absorption and digestion of sugars, resistant dextrin has anti-aging and whitening effects. Some undigested sugars in the body undergo a glycation reaction with proteins, leaving the skin shriveled and dry. Therefore, the anti-glycation effect of resistant dextrin can delay skin aging and brighten the skin tone.
Improve gut health
In addition to stimulating the growth and reproduction of intestinal probiotics such as bifidobacteria and lactic acid bacteria, resistant dextrin also produces short-chain fatty acids, which improve the intestinal environment, clean the intestines and relieve constipation.
Application
As a safe and functional dietary fiber, resistant dextrin is considered a potential prebiotic substance with favorable processing properties. Currently, resistant dextrins are widely used as dietary functional ingredients in fermented milk or lactic acid beverages, meat products, baby foods, cereals, and nutritional supplements.
