FIBRULINE™ is a range of chicory root fibres, soluble dietary fibres, extracted from chicory root by a natural process that provides both nutrional and health benefits for a wide range of food applications and dietary supplements and does not contain added sugars.
Digestive health is currently subject to the greatest of attention. Depending on local regulation, the recommended daily intake of fibres is 25 to 30g a day. A 5g intake of FIBRULINE™ corresponds to the recommended daily dose for inulin to have a prebiotic effect. In a diet rich in chicory root fibres, these fibres are not digested by the small intestine so they arrive in the colon intact, where they are totally and selectively fermented by the intestinal microflora, along with the production of short-chain fatty acids.
ISO has recently established a new criterion for designating foodstuff ingredients as being “natural”: the natural presence has become a pre-eminent criterion in obtaining this certification. Consequently, various other foodstuff fibres, which are not present in nature, cannot obtain this certification.
Our range of FIBRULINE™ chicory root fibre: COSUCRA consequently benefits from the designation “natural” according to the ISO19657:2017 standard.
FIBRULINE™ obtained from chicory is a highly soluble easy-to-use fibre. Better still, it is an effective substitute for sugar with average sweetening power. The long-chain inulin can form a fat-mimetic gel after heating in high water systems with improved mouthfeel and smoothness. FIBRULINE™ neither changes the colour nor the taste, whatever the dose, that is why we call it “invisible” fibre.
FIBRULINE™ can meet various nutritional aims. In fact, chicory root fibre ideally replaces sugar and fats, but also enriches fibres.
FIBRULINE™ is a natural and functional solution. COSUCRA offers you the following ranges:
