FIBRULINE™: FIBRE SOLUBLE DE CHICOREE

FIBRULINE™ is a range of soluble dietary fibre derived from chicory roots. It is composed of 90% inulin on a dry matter basis. This chicory fibre is of natural origin and is sourced locally, and GMO-free, which is also in keeping with sustainable food principles. It is made in Belgium by Cosucra using a gentle extraction process. Incorporating FIBRULINE™ into your dietary formulations can provide better nutritional balance; enriching with fibre and reducing sugar and fat levels. As a replacement for fats, its gelling properties enable it to mimic fat and improve mouthfeel. As a substitute for sugar, its slightly sweet taste is a real bonus. FIBRULINE™ is easy to use as it is highly soluble, colourless and has no impact on flavour. A variety of references are available to best suit your formulation requirements in bakery products, bars and snacks, dairy substitutes, beverages, confectionery, etc. And, last but not least, FIBRULINE™ is a beneficial ingredient for human health. For one thing, quite simply because it enriches food products with fibre, thereby increasing intake. In France, fibre intakes (20g/day on average for adults) appear to be too low compared with the Anses recommendations (30g/day). Chicory root fibre has prebiotic properties, meaning that it is neither digested nor absorbed by the small intestine, helping to nourish the intestinal microbiota. According to published scientific studies, chicory inulin has a beneficial effect on intestinal transit, improves mineral absorption, helps control appetite and stimulates the immune system.
