Virgin Sugarcane Fibre
Sugarcane fibre is a prebiotic. Prebiotics are fibres that cannot be digested and serve as food for probiotics, the beneficial bacteria in your gut.
As a type of dietary fibre, sugarcane fibre acts as a prebiotic by supporting the growth and activity of beneficial bacteria in the gut. This can positively affect digestion and overall gut health.
Extracta's micronised sugarcane fibre allows products to meet health or nutrition claims. This fibre offers enhanced opportunities for branding, with one of the most compelling new claims being its prebiotic properties.
Consumers prioritise fibre as the primary ingredient to aid digestion, manage weight, and increase satiety.
The combination of high fibre content and prebiotic benefits appeals to consumers who are increasingly aware of the importance of gut health.
This ingredient, which has a neutral taste, serves as a versatile solution for dietary fibre. It enhances natural functionality and fibre content, making it suitable for various bakery and snack products, as well as vegan foods and nutritional beverages.
