Description
What it is. Polyols are obtained by hydrogenation or fermentation of mono-, di-, oligo- or polysaccharides, giving a product composed of reduced sugars. Composition and sugar origin vary according to the raw material and process used.
What it is for. This type of ingredient is generally used as an energy source and as a technological aid, notably for its binding, moisture-retention or sweetening properties. It would typically be considered in compound feed formulations where carbohydrate sources with these functional properties are relevant, across various species and stages, depending on the specific polyol concerned.
Points to watch. Composition can vary depending on the sugar substrate and manufacturing process, so analytical specification of the supplied batch should be checked. No maximum inclusion level is set here; applicable regulatory limits and labelling requirements should be verified with the official texts.
