Anderson Tap'PD® Polydextrose Sourced from Tapioca

Clean-Label Dietary Fiber

Tap'PD® Tapioca Polydextrose is a clean-label dietary fiber with a low glycemic index and net-zero carbohydrates. This soluble fiber ingredient from Anderson Advanced Ingredients is also an excellent bulking agent, humectant, texturizer, and formulation aid. With only 1kcal/g, it is an ideal food additive that helps food formulators reduce calories while delivering prebiotic benefits. Tap'PD® Tapioca Polydextrose is comprised of tapioca glucose (d-glucose), citric acid, and sorbitol. This soluble tapioca fiber is a keto-friendly prebiotic sweetener that will not spike blood sugar levels.

Tap'PD® Tapioca Fiber Source

Tap'PD® Tapioca Polydextrose is sourced from tapioca that is extracted from the roots of the cassava plant. Cassava root is a highly versatile crop, earning it nicknames like the "Rambo Root", the "Drought, War, and Famine Crop," and "Bread of the Tropics." It doesn't require nutrient-rich soil and can tolerate difficult conditions like drought and climate change.
Additionally, it can be harvested when needed so farmers do not have to wait until the end of the growing season. While other major food crops face challenges, cassava's high resilience makes it favorable as a source of tapioca fiber.
