Fibregum™ Gum Acacia is
a natural soluble dietary fibre produced from an exudate
of the Acacia
Tree. It is a unique
low viscosity fibre with excellent stability.
Fibregum™ contains in excess of 90% soluble fibre (dry matter basis) calculated
using the official AOCS 985.29 method. Thanks to its high solubility and no added
viscosity, Fibregum™ is easy to incorporate in many applications to reinforce
their health benefits (beverages, cereal bars, baked goods, dairy products, nutraceuticals...).
Fibregum™ offers manufacturers several advantages over other fibre sources:
 Fibregum™ is
acid resistant and has excellent stability in products
such as juices and fruit products. For example Trials
on a fruit juice (pH 3.2) containing 3% FIBREGUM™ stored
at room temperature for 3 months showed no significant
fibre loss due. Many other short chain fibres do not
have good stability below pH3 and may hydrolyse rapidly
over time.
Fibregum™ is
a large molecule and is therefore fermented slowly
in the gut. This helps promote the growth of bifidobacteria
and lactobacilli which produce short chain fatty acids
associated with various physiological benefits of the
gut and overall gut health. In addition the slow fermentation
means that gas production is limited and does not lead
to gut discomfort often associated with other smaller
molecular weight fibres.
Fibregum™ is
easily dispersed in water and can be easily incorporated
into most foods. It has a very low viscosity and a
bland flavour, allowing it to be used easily in various
formulations.
Fibregum™ is
completely natural and of vegetable origin. It is GMO
free, with no chemical or enzymatic modification and
meets the requirements for “natural ingredient” declarations.
Fibregum™ has
several function properties such as good film forming
properties, emulsification, improving cohesion, and
moderating crystal formation.
