What is NUTRIOSE®?
NUTRIOSE® is the brand name of a new, patented range of dietary soluble fibres developed and promoted worldwide by ROQUETTE
From what is NUTRIOSE® produced?
NUTRIOSE® soluble fiber is produced either from wheat or from maize. This results in two different types of NUTRIOSE®:
- NUTRIOSE ® FB -> Wheat-based grades
- NUTRIOSE ® FM -> Maize-based grades
What is the G.M.O. status of NUTRIOSE®?
NUTRIOSE® is obtained from natural raw materials. NUTRIOSE® FB is produced from standard wheat marketed in the EU (where GM wheat is not available). - NUTRIOSE® FM is produced from conventional non-GM maize. Both NUTRIOSE® ranges are therefore in compliance with European rules.What is the NUTRIOSE® range?
The NUTRIOSE® range is composed of several grades, produced either from wheat (NUTRIOSE® FB) or maize (NUTRIOSE® FM).For each raw material there are several NUTRIOSE® grades based on the fiber content appropriate to customer needs:
About 85% fiber (dry basis) = NUTRIOSE® FB or FM 06
About 70% fiber (dry basis) = NUTRIOSE® FB or FM 10
It is intended that the NUTRIOSE® range will evolve progressively to meet market demand.
How is the NUTRIOSE® range codified?
NUTRIOSE® grades are expressed as follows:
What is the regulatory status of NUTRIOSE®?
NUTRIOSE® soluble fiber is a food ingredient.NUTRIOSE® is labelled as a food “dextrin”.
Labelling can be completed with “dietary fiber” or “soluble dietary fiber”, depending on local regulations.
The botanical origin has to be declared if it is wheat (allergen labelling).
NUTRIOSE® is a soluble dietary fiber supplement which enables healthy eating through fiber enrichment and sugar substitution reducing the daily calorie intake.
