Oligofructose

The 100% natural sugar replacer

 

Oligofructose is an inulin-type fructan and is derived from Inulin through partial enzymatic hydrolysis. This conversion is a process that occurs naturally within the chicory root towards the end of the harvest. It can therefore be said to be of 100% vegetable origin.

 

After enzymatic hydrolysis, purification is continued in order to meet even the highest quality requirements, including those for infant nutrition.

 

Benefits:

The best soluble dietary fibre – even better than sucrose! This facilitates easy processing without the necessity of having to implement any changes to the production process.

Description

With a sweetness profile of minimally 30% that of sucrose, the benefits reach beyond the nutritional benefits of fibre.

 

Its mildly sweet taste and sugar-like technical properties makes it the perfect natural sugar replacer. Moreover it also allows for calorie reduction and a higher fibre content.  By imparting a delicate natural sweetness, it is often combined with high intensity sweeteners to create a more balanced and sugar-like palate without any off-taste.

 

Typical examples are cereal binding syrups and dairy fruit preparations
