Too much of anything can, and usually will, lead you down the wrong path. But just the right amount of fiber can make all the difference. That’s why FibRefine P90 Soluble Tapioca Fiber has become such a necessary, go-to sugar replacement. This powdered prebiotic fiber is a mixture of oligo- and polysaccharides composed of fructose moieties joined by beta (2–>1) linkages in linear chains. Its composition and flavor profile allow sugar to be reduced by 25%, making it the ideal sweetener to help control blood pressure and craft products for a wide range of consumers.
Adding to the positives of FibRefine P90 Soluble Tapioca Fiber, since it’s derived without the use of chemicals, the all-important clean label claim can be used effectively. Additional attributes include being non-GMO and kosher, which opens up doors for clients and consumers, as well as formulating options.
Versatility also plays a significant part in the use of FibRefine P90 Soluble Tapioca Fiber. Taking the role of a sweetness modulator, it can complement high-intensity sweeteners like stevia and monk fruit. When they come together, this blend creates a sweetening solution that offers a smooth neutral flavor profile that can be used as a plug-and-play replacement for sugar.
From a functional perspective, FibRefine P90’s unique molecular architecture facilitates both selective fermentation and superior physicochemical performance. The β(2→1) glycosidic linkages resist hydrolysis in the upper gastrointestinal tract, allowing the fiber to reach the colon intact, where it becomes a preferred substrate for commensal Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus species. This selective prebiotic metabolism yields short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) such as acetate, propionate, and butyrate, which play pivotal roles in modulating glycemic response, enhancing gut barrier integrity, and supporting systemic metabolic health. Equally important, the molecular weight distribution of FibRefine P90 confers excellent solubility, low viscosity, and humectant properties, ensuring process stability and sensory parity with sucrose in a wide range of food and beverage matrices.
Quick Facts
- Reduces detrimental carbs
- Increases soluble fiber on the Nutritional Facts Panel
- Provides functional benefits to the food or beverage developer
FibRefine P90 Soluble Tapioca Fiber is harvested from the resistant dextrin strain of the cassava root. Our process involves a simple enzymatic step that breaks down the starch in tapioca into a prebiotic fiber. This step enables FibRefine P90 Soluble Tapioca Fiber to serve as a sweetener in a keto-friendly diet.
The Prebiotics of FibRefine P90 Soluble Tapioca Fiber
- The chain length and the degree of polymerization are the differentiators of terminology, with inulin having a slightly higher DP.
- Fructooligosaccharide (oligofructose) has an average chain length between 3 and 5.
