It is a well balanced association of acacia soluble fibers and wheat insoluble fibers.
FIBREGUM™ is a native soluble dietary fibre from acacia tree. It is GMO-free, chemical-free, enzyme-free and is completely safe. With more than 90% soluble fibre on dry extract according to official AOAC method, FIBREGUM™ is completely natural and vegetable.
Fibre_enrichment with FIBREGUM™ makes it possible to obtain nutritional allegations such as "source of fibres", "rich in fibres", etc.
Besides, clinical studies have demonstrated that FIBREGUM™ polysaccharides are slowly fermented in the gut, where they modulate selectively the beneficial flora, with proven effects from 10g/day. FIBREGUM™ stimulates the development of the beneficial bacteria, bifidobacteria and lactobacilli and leads to the production of short chain fatty acids which indeed play numerous beneficial roles in the physiology of the human body.
Due to its high molecular weight and its branched structure, FIBREGUM™ is slowly fermented compared to other fibres, explaining its very good tolerance up to the dose of 50g/day and health benefits that could be distributed all along the colon.
Because of this resistance to digestion by human enzymes, FIBREGUM™ has a very low energy value (< 2 kcal / gram). FIBREGUM has also been demonstrated as a safe for teeth ingredient.
Available in instant form, FIBREGUM™ is highly soluble in water and can be easily incorporated to food. By combining its technological functionalities and nutritional properties, FIBREGUM can consequently be used in various products such as dairy products, beverages, confectionery, bakery, processed fruits, frozen desserts and dietetic specialties.
BIO
FIBREGUM™ BIO not only provides all the benefits of FIBREGUM™ (described above) but also fully complies with all the organic regulations requirements.
FIBREGUM™ BIO has been duly certified by the French and Internatinal organism ECOCERT to comply with the organic mode of production as defined by the EEC regulation n° 2092/91, and by the National Organic Program (N.O.P.) in U.S.
Organic production methods entail significant restrictions on the use of fertilizers and pesticides which may have detrimental effects on the environment or result in the presence of residues in agricultural products. The EC regulation also insures that all operators producing, preparing, importing or marketing products refering to organic production methods are subjected to a regular inspection system, carried out by designated inspection authorities.
The use of Acacia gum, as an ingredient of non agricultural origin (Annex VI, section A) is authorized in food products refering to the organic mode of production. However, the use of FIBREGUM™ BIO extends the list of organic ingredients to be declared on the label of the finished products.
TANFIBREGUM™ TAN is a new antioxidant fibre concept, issued from the rigorous selection of the richest origins of Acacia gums in natural antioxidant substances (polyphenols).
FIBREGUM™ TAN brings you the benefit of using a native product highly suitable for:
• the protection of sensitive matter ,
• the enrichment in soluble fibres and antioxidants .
FIBREGUM™ TAN protects sensitive substances (flavours, vegetable extracts, polyphenols, oils, fatty acids…) against O 2 , light, water migration, that result in improved shelf-life.
FIBREGUM™ TAN is a versatile ingredient suitable for many foods and nutritional products (functional foods, beverages, chocolate, nutritional bars, food supplements…).
