Win-Win-Win: ADM/Matsutani's Fibersol products can boost fiber content and also replace sugar's non-sweetening functional properties to achieve sugar and calorie reduction
Fiber has no shortage of benefits, including boosting digestive health, maintaining intestinal regularity and increasing feelings of satiety. Increased intake of dietary fiber also is associated with lower rates of mortality from cardiovascular, infectious and respiratory diseases, according to research from the American Medical Association. With all these perks in mind, it’s no wonder why fiber consumption is often at the top of consumers’ minds.
However, while many consumers are familiar with the benefits of fiber, few are aware of its versatility. People typically associate fiber with “traditional” applications such as bread, nutrition bars or functional beverages. Yet most would be surprised to know that their favorite candies, ice cream, chocolates and other sweets also can be formulated with fiber for an extra nutritional boost.
