1. A food product containing a polydextrose fraction comprising saccharide molecules, the polydextrose fraction being a fraction separated from a crude polydextrose product by chromatographic separation,
wherein the crude polydextrose product has been prepared by polymerization of saccharides in the presence of acid, wherein the acid is selected from the group consisting of phosphoric acid, citric acid, malic acid, succinic acid, adipic acid, gluconic acid, tartaric acid, fumaric acid and mixtures thereof, and
wherein the pH of the crude polydextrose has been adjusted to from 6 to 8 prior to chromatographic separation;
wherein at least 90% by weight of the saccharide molecules in the polydextrose fraction have a degree of polymerization of 5 or more;
wherein at least 70% by weight of saccharide molecules have a degree of polymerization of 10 or more;
wherein the polydextrose fraction has a non-digestible fiber content of at least 80% by weight; and
wherein the food product comprises a confectionery, a bakery product, a beverage, or a dairy product.
