The present invention relates to a highly branched maltodextrin having a dextrose equivalent weight (DE) of at least 8 to up to 15 and a molecular weight or Mw of at least 1,700 to up to 3,000 daltons, which is at least 30 to up to 45% of 1,6 glucoside Binding content; Soluble fluorinated fiber content of at least 75 to up to 100%, as determined according to AOAC No. 2001-03 method; And a hypoglycemic activity expressed according to Test A, which reduces the α-amylase hydrolysis of standard maltodextrin by 80-90% in vitro and reduces the intrinsic digestive activity of standard maltodextrin by 30-45% in situ. It features. |
