FIBREGUM™ is a genuine product obtained from selected acacia gum, GMO-free, 100% of vegetable origin. FIBREGUM™ is delivered in the form of white powder, which turns it into a very soluble substance.
FIBREGUM™ draws nutritional properties come from its high content in vegetable polysaccharides, associated with other substances such as proteins and polyphenols.
Thanks to the careful selection of Acacia gums, FIBREGUM™ provides an exceptionnal soluble fibre content, up to 90% on dry matter.
Moreover FIBREGUM™
polysaccharides are slowly fermented in the gut, where
they fuel selectively the beneficial flora, with proven
effects from 10g/day.
- FIBREGUM™ with a guaranteed dietary soluble fibre content (more than 90% on dry basis as dosed by the AOAC 985.29 method) is a highly suitable product for fibre_fortification and nutritional claims .
- FIBREGUM™ is a fibre showing remarkable properties to modulate the beneficial intestinal flora , proven by more than 80 scientific papers.
- FIBREGUM™ is completely natural and vegetable. It is GMO free, with no chemical or enzymatic modification and is consequently of great interest for human nutrition.
- FIBREGUM™ improves digestion and acts on gut comfort as a regulator. The total gas production is limited and very progressive, and it does not exhibit laxative side-effects.
- Because of its resistance to digestion by human enzymes, FIBREGUM has a very_low_energy_value (<2kcal/gram). Furthermore, FIBREGUM™ is non_cariogenic and fits well for ”safe for teeth” products and confectionery.
- Thanks to its low_viscosity and its high_solubility , it is very easy to incorporate FIBREGUM™ in high amount in many food products.
- FIBREGUM™ is extremely resistant to acidic conditions and keeps its properties either in beverages or fruit preparations.
- Improvement of laxation
- Stimulation of colonic fermentation
- Reduction of fasted serum cholesterol
- Decrease of postprandial blood glucose and/or insulin
The fibre intake has been associated with:
- Improved bowel functioning and a reduced colorectal risk
- A reduced obesity risk
- A reduced risk of diabetes
- A reduced risk of coronary heart disease
Dietary fibres are systematically taken into account in nutritional guidelines. The recommended daily fibre consumption for adults is around 25 to 30 g/day with a soluble fibre dose of 10 to 15 g/day .
In industrialized countries, mean fibre intake is estimated to be approximately 10 to 20 g/day, which is far below the recommended goal . This is why many health organizations have recommended increasing the fibre intake by 50 %.
