    Protein, sugar, fat, vitamins, inorganic salts, and water are the six nutrients necessary for the human body. They play a vital role in people's life activities and are also the main considerations for people to make a reasonable diet. China used to be a country with plant food as its staple food. However, with the gradual improvement of people's living standards in recent years, people's eating habits have changed a lot. Following this, the incidence rate of obesity, diabetes, arteriosclerosis, coronary heart disease and malignant tumors has increased. These diseases are not only common in the elderly, but also in the young and middle-aged population, and even the incidence of adult diseases in children and young people has increased. Studies have found that excessive intake of fat and carbohydrates in food and insufficient intake of plant foods are important reasons for this phenomenon. Cellulose is more abundant in plant foods. Food cellulose includes crude fiber, se

    Resistant dextrin is processed from starch. It is a low-calorie glucan obtained by extracting and refining the indigestible components of baked dextrin with industrial technology. And it belongs to low-molecular-weight water-soluble dietary fiber.   Resistant dextrin has many excellent physiological functions and processing characteristics: It can directly enter the large intestine, since it will not be digested and absorbed in the digestive tract. At the same time, it can also exert various physiological functions as dietary fiber, such as high digestive tolerance, low blood sugar index, low insulin index, low calorie, and prevention of dental caries. Resistant dextrin has relatively low viscosity and sweetness, and has the characteristics of easy solubility, low viscosity, acid stability, autoclave stability, freezing and thawing stability, low browning and storage stability. Consequently, it is very suitable for making beverages, such as carbonated drinks, juice drinks, lactic a
