BENEO’s inulin and oligofructose are obtained from chicory root via a gentle hot water extraction. This natural production process clearly distinguishes them from other fibers, which are made indigestible by chemical and enzymatic modifications.
The decision was made following an extensive review by the FDA’s Nutrition Science Review team into a wide range of non-digestible carbohydrates. As a result, chicory root fibers inulin and oligofructose—natural non-digestible carbohydrates from chicory root—have a demonstrated health benefit and have been found to be in compliance with the dietary fiber definition, as outlined in the nutrition labelling regulations.
BENEO, a manufacturer of functional ingredients, will focus on natural solutions at this year’s 2016 Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) Food Expo in Chicago. Visitors to booth #231 will learn more about the company’s most recent clean label texturizing solutions with improved functionality. They will also gain insights on how chicory root fibers inulin and oligofructose promote a healthy digestive system, naturally.
From naturally derived carrageenans to amylose-resistant corn starch, and resistant-dextrin soluble fiber to oligosaccharides, specialty hydrocolloids are being used to improve and enhance baked goods, meats/poultry and confections for modern health-conscious consumers.
