A clean label, gluten-free soluble corn fiber containing 90 percent dietary fiber, Fibersol®-2 digestion-resistant maltodextrin can be used in a variety of food applications with minimal formulation adjustments. It doesn’t affect taste or viscosity and can maintain or improve desired attributes.
Fibersol®-2 is a highly concentrated dietary fiber with excellent water solubility. It is highly versatile since it maintains its fiber content under many conditions. Fibersol®-2 delivers 1.6 kcal per gram and contains very few simple sugars, making it an ideal solution for lower- calorie ‘no sugar added’ or ‘sugar free’ products. It also can mask bitterness and help balance the flavor profile and improve mouthfeel in sugar-free and high-protein products.

A bakery customer wanted an “excellent source of fiber” claim, without changing the essence of their better-for-you bakery products that consumers knew and loved. They turned to our R&D team, who used Fibersol®-2 to boost the dietary fiber content, maintain the sensory and functional properties—and in the process, achieve a calorie reduction in the finished products. The result: A very successful launch of the customer’s reformulated products.
