Sauces, side dishes & soups
NUTRIOSE® supports the development of healthier options for soups and sauces
Here, too, health-conscious consumers are driving demand for more nutritious side items. Using NUTRIOSE® fiber helps soup and sauce makers easily implement innovative health concepts that contribute to reaching the recommended daily fiber intake, while at the same time preserving and even improving original product qualities.
Nutritional Benefits
- High-level fiber enrichment (up to 85%)
NUTRIOSE®’s outstanding digestive tolerance assures its full performance in terms of fiber enrichment. This helps to reinforce the health image traditionally associated with products like soups.
“Source of fiber” and “rich in fiber” formulations are now easily achievable with NUTRIOSE® and are perfectly adapted to cooking sauces (pasta sauces) and side dishes. - Sugars reduction
NUTRIOSE® is most useful to reduce sugars in dressings while maintaining a pleasant texture.
Sensory properties
- When used as a ‘source of fiber’, NUTRIOSE® contributes to enhancing the mouthfeel, creaminess and consistency of soups and sauces.
Partial fat substitution helps to improve the mouthfeel and creaminess of the end product, as following example shows:
In a tomato soup initally containing 3% fat, Roquette food technologists replaced 2/3 of the fat content by NUTRIOSE® FB06. From a sensory evaluation it emerged that the soup using NUTRIOSE® FB06 exhibited improved creaminess and spoonability in comparison with the control product. - NUTRIOSE® offers the additional advantage of leaving the taste of the final product unaffected.
Technical properties
- Outstanding resistance
NUTRIOSE® maintains its functional properties under extreme processing conditions, such as high shear, retort processing and frozen storage.
In addition, NUTRIOSE® is highly resistant to thermal treatments (pasteurization, sterilization) and offers excellent fiber retention over a wide pH range. This guarantees that fiber content remains unchanged throughout end-product shelf life.
Applications such as liquid soups, sauces (pasta, ketchup), side dishes and dressings take advantage of beneficial properties like these.

- Great ease of use
NUTRIOSE® is easy to formulate thanks to its high dispersability and solubility, a critical factor for applications such as wet sauces.
The end user of instant soups or cook-up soups will also enjoy the benefits of easy dispersion without lumping.
Process conditions are unchanged.
Applications
- Source-of-fiber / Rich-in-fiber soups, including instant / cook-up soups, sides, dressings, entrée sauces, tomato sauces (pasta, kechtup).
