Fibersol is digestion resistant and is a prebiotic fiber fermented by microflora in the colon. This provides potential benefits for gut health and can support “good-for-you” structure/function claims for qualifying products. Clinical studies show Fibersol is a prebiotic fiber, helps support or maintain intestinal regularity, helps control the rise in blood glucose after a meal, may attenuate the rise in blood triglycerides following a meal, and when 10g are consumed with a meal, may increase satiety. 

Fibersol offers many formulation benefits including: minimal viscosity; no added flavor, taste, or color; and low hygroscopicity in dry formulations. Fibersol-2® is 90% fiber and provides only 0.02g of sugar per gram, 1.6 Kcal per gram, and can replace many of the non-sweetening functional properties of sugar. It is water soluble and forms a clear solution. 

It is also heat-, acid-, shear- and freeze/thaw-stable, and maintains its fiber content under those conditions, thus allowing for ultimate formulation and food processing versatility. Enhanced positive organoleptic attributes are reported for Fibersol-2, including improved mouthfeel and bitterness masking, but it contributes no flavor of its own.
