4 Mar 2010 --- CNI, the world leader in Acacia gum, has announced the launch of its latest breakthrough: Fibregum Clear, a highly purified and clarified version of Fibregum, especially developed for the fiber enrichment of beverages. Fibregum Clear is obtained through a very specific purification process and offers exactly the same benefits as conventional Fibregum, for functional beverage applications.

Developed by CNI (Colloides Naturels International), Fibregum is an all-natural Acacia gum particularly rich in soluble fiber (minimum 90%). Fibregum offers exceptional, scientifically proven nutritional properties, including a strong prebiotic effect. Fibregum helps balance the intestinal microflora and favors the growth of "good" bacterias (bifidobacteria, lactobacilli). The fermentation of Fibregum also induces the production of short chain fatty acids (SCFA), the potential health benefits of which are well known.

Fibregum is very well tolerated, compared to other sources of soluble fibers: it does not cause any intestinal discomfort when consumed at levels below 50g/day.

Fibregum Clear’ s low viscosity and excellent stability in acidic medium make it the #1 fiber choice to improve the nutritional profile of functional beverages and juices with no impact on their clarity, brightness and flavor

Fibregum Clear is an all-natural source of soluble fiber, and its addition in functional beverages permits claims such as "enriched with fiber" or "good source of fiber".
