초록

식품에서 탄수화물은 우리 몸에 열량을 주는 역할 외에도 맛을 부여하는 중요한 기능을 한다. 그러나 열량의 과잉 섭취로 인한 비만과 그로 인한 질병들로 인하여 저열량 탄수화물 소재에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 폴리덱스트로스와 당알코올은 각각 2.0 kcal/g, 2.4 kcal/g의 열량을 가지므로 식품 내의 다른 탄수화물을 대체하여 사용하면 그만큼 열량을 줄일 수 있는 소재이다. 폴리덱스트로스는 저열량 소재라는 장점 이외에도 식이섬유원으로 널리 사용될 수 있어 열량을 줄임과 동시에 식이섬유를 보충할 수 있다. 당알코올은 설탕을 대체할 수 있는 감미를 가지면서도 당류에서 제외됨으로써 정부의 당류 저감 정책에 부합할 수 있는 소재이다. 또한 폴리덱스트로스와 당알코올은 열이나 산 등에 쉽해 분해되지 않고 안정한 특성이 있어 식품제조공정에 영향을 받지 않고 사용할 수 있다.

Carbohydrates play an important role in not only providing the body with calories but also giving taste and texture in foods. Recently, there is a growing interest in low-calorie carbohydrate materials due to obesity and the resulting diseases caused by excessive intake of calories. Polydextrose and sugar alcohols have calories of 2.0 kcal/g and 2.4 kcal/g, respectively. In addition to being a low-calorie material, polydextrose can be widely used as a dietary fiber source, thereby reducing calories and supplementing fiber. Sugar alcohols have sweetness comparable to a table sugar but they are not calculated as a sugar, so it can meet the government's sugar reduction policy. Also, polydextrose and sugar alcohols are not easily decomposed by heat and acid, and thus can be used without being affected by food manufacturing processes.
