Substitutes for Polydextrose (Fiber) in gelato

Polydextrose is a low-calorie, randomly cross-linked glucose polymer (with minor sorbitol and citric acid) used as a non-sweet soluble-fiber bulking agent. In gelato it raises total solids and body and provides moderate freezing-point depression without adding sweetness. If you're out of polydextrose (fiber) or need a different profile, these are the closest functional swaps — ranked by how similar they are on the balancing numbers, with the impact of each swap.
