As consumers reach for better-for-you food and beverages and agencies recommend limiting daily added sugar intake (Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2015-2020), the launch of Fibersol-2L, a liquid version of Fibersol, is providing a solution for manufacturers. This new product makes it very easy for manufacturers to incorporate into their formulations, while delivering the same lower calorie content and same level of fiber quality as Fibersol-2 with 90% soluble dietary fiber (dsb).
 
Yutaka Miyamoto, executive vice president, Matsutani America, said, “The latest Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that individuals should consume less than ten percent of calories per day from added sugars.”
 
Katheryne Rehberg, business manager, fiber, ADM said, “As manufacturers reduce the sugar content of foods and beverages, we knew it would be critical to offer our customers a solution to this challenge. We have built out our Fibersol portfolio, and are thrilled to announce that Fibersol-2L is now available.”
 
Fibersol-2L can play a critical role in reduced sugar formulations, because it improves mouthfeel and flavor profiles of products that use zero-calorie sweeteners to replace traditional sweeteners, while maintaining calorie and sugar reductions. Typically, the use of zero-calorie sweeteners can create an aftertaste or linger that a low level of Fibersol can make less noticeable.
 
Doris Dougherty, Fibersol technical service representative, ADM stated, “Fibersol-2L offers a high purity and superior digestive tolerance as well as a low calorie content (1.17 kcals), with the added benefits of liquid formulation. In this format, Fibersol-2L allows for bulk handling and ease of incorporation, saving the manufacturer time. We do the hydration for you, so you get a smooth blend, yet benefit from skipping the mixing step, for increased efficiency and lower costs.”  Additionally, Fibersol is heat and acid stable, clear in solution and low in viscosity.
