TIC Gums Offers Sources of Dietary Fiber, Improving the Perception of Label Declarations

Traditionally recognized for their functionality benefits including viscosity, stabilization and texture modification, hydrocolloids are often overlooked as an excellent source of dietary fiber for a wide range of applications.

 

Gum acacia contains a minimum of 90% soluble dietary fiber on a dry weight basis and can be used to increase fiber levels without negative impacts on texture or flavor. Manufacturers can leverage the fiber benefits of gum acacia without drastically altering the finished viscosity.

 

Other hydrocolloids, such as inulin, have the ability to replace undesirable ingredients, like sugar, with prebiotic dietary fiber. Formulators are then able to satisfy consumer demands for increased fiber while improving the perception of their label declarations. 

 

In addition to single ingredient stabilizers, TIC Gums has developed high-performance blends for specific applications to incorporate soluble and insoluble dietary fiber. Download our newly introduced Fiber Chart to take a closer look at hydrocolloids which boost dietary fiber content in applications often associated with high and added fiber claims.
