This highly functional dietary fibre has a unique composition and excellent characteristics that make it a very appreciated and useful ingredient in bakery, meat and other food applications.

As a concentrated dietary fibre with an optimal ratio of soluble and insoluble fibres, Fibrex®  also has a high potential in health applications.

Different fractions are available for an optimal result.

Product properties

• high concentration: Fibrex® has a high natural concentration of dietary fibres (73% according to the Difference Method and 68% according to AOAC). Approximately one third is soluble fibre (mainly pectin) and two thirds are insoluble (hemicelluloses and cellulose)
  
• excellent characteristics: a high water-holding capacity provides a broad application area
  
• thermo stable: will maintain the characteristics throughout freezing, baking and frying
  
• gluten free: by nature free from gluten, which makes it an excellent dietary fibre for people suffering from celiac disease
  
• free from phytic acid: will therefore not form chemical complexes with minerals, like iron and zinc, which could inhibit the absorption of these minerals

Fibrex® as a health ingredient

Soluble fibres can help lower blood cholesterol and smooth out the blood sugar curve, while insoluble fibres are bulking agents and can help prevent constipation.

Fibrex® can be used to make fibre tablets with a very high fibre content. Fibrex® can also be packed and marketed in sachets to be dispersed in water or juice, with or without a prior coating with dispersant and/or flavouring. Fibrex® is also suitable in müsli or other breakfast cereal products and, thanks to its high concentration of dietary fibre, significantly improve the fibre level.

Different fractions can be included in extrusion (up to 25%) or agglomeration formulations as highly concentrated fibre enrichment in both snacks and breakfast cereal products.
