NUTRIOSE^® FB is produced using a highly controlled process of starch dextrinization followed with chromatographic separation. It contains a high level of oligosaccharides and polysaccharides that are resistant to digestion and absorption in the human small intestine. These compounds provide beneficial physiological effects with a very good tolerance.

The study considers the following aspects:

• Structure of NUTRIOSE^® FB
• Fiber content of  NUTRIOSE^® FB
• Fiber content of biscuits, yogurts containing NUTRIOSE^® FB
• NUTRIOSE^® FB determination in biscuits and yogurts
