NUTRIOSE®: the best choice for healthy drinks with great mouthfeel

 

 

The recommended intake of calories from simple sugars amounts to less than 10% of today's actual total intake. Much of the latter are absorbed via soft drinks. However, because such beverages are ultra-convenient, they can also be a very effective way to compensate for any deficiency in nutrition.

Through its outstanding sugars substitution potential, maximized fiber content and valuable technical  properties, NUTRIOSE®  soluble fiber makes it possible to produce healthy, reduced-calorie beverages while maintaining the taste and mouthfeel associated with full-sugar recipes.

 


 

Nutritional Benefits

  • Calorie and sugars reduction

A low-calorie ingredient, NUTRIOSE® is an excellent sugar replacer (up to 100%).It is also low in rapidly-digested sugars. It can also be sugar-free.

NUTRIOSE®'s low glycemic and insulinaemic response results in a slower daytime energy release that contributes to both physical and cognitive performance in the consumer.
 

  • Fibers in beverages: an efficient way to compensate for a dietary fiber shortfall

NUTRIOSE®'s powerful fiber enrichment properties are exceptionally well tolerated by the digestion, which is not the case for most other soluble fibers. This allows beverage consumption throughout the day, with a very positive impact on gut flora.

 

Sensory properties

At very low concentrations, the viscosity of saccharose and NUTRIOSE®  soluble fiber is nearly the same. This makes it possible to reduce calories significantly while maintaining product body and mouthfeel.

Its bland taste also leaves flavor notes unaffected.

 

Technical properties

  • Resistance to low pH and stable in process
    NUTRIOSE®'s high stability whatever the process allows it to resist beverage acidity. Moreover, NUTRIOSE® tolerates heat treatment and pasteurization.
  • Ease of use
    The ease of NUTRIOSE® incorporation is due to its high solubility, good flowability and low hygroscopicity.

     

Applications


 

  • Reduced-sugar, low- or mid-calorie drinks, energy drinks, and fiber-enriched yoghurt drinks.
     
  • Powder drinks and cocoa powder.
