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.

The Fibersol line of ingredients is included in the FDA’s list of dietary fibers and can fulfill consumer desires for tasty, fiber-full products that are well tolerated and have demonstrated satiety benefits. 

ADM/Matsutani LLC has added new Fibersol®-DLQ to the Fibersol® range of premier soluble vegetable fibers.

As food and beverage formulators work to meet both the pending regulatory changes regarding added sugars and consumers’ nutritional demands, Fibersol® soluble dietary fiber ingredients offer a solution to help formulators “redo” sugar in their products.

Newly published research supports the significant role of soluble dietary fiber to delay hunger and enhance satiety. Nutrition Research, an international publication, published “Soluble Dietary Fiber Decreased Hunger and Increased Satiety Hormones in Humans When Ingested With a Meal.”
