More fibre, fewer calories, same great taste!

Consumers are increasingly seeking healthier, more transparent food and beverage options. Fibre plays a vital role in digestive health, yet most adults still fall short of the recommended daily intake. To meet this growing demand, Tereos introduces Actifiber®, a unique soluble corn fibre designed to support nutritional reformulation without compromising taste or texture.

 

Actifiber® is an ingredient derived from non-GMO corn starch, produced in France using an enzymatic process that preserves its nutritional and functional properties. Ideal for improving front of pack labelling (i.e. Nutri-Score and HFSS), Actifiber® carries no E-number and can be declared as “soluble corn fibre”, making it ideal for clean-label formulations.

 

Key Benefits:

  • Enables fibre enrichment and calorie reduction in finished products
  • Better front of pack labelling (i.e. Nutri-Score and HFSS guidelines)
  • Offers neutral taste and maintains original product taste
  • Helps preserve the texture of final product
  • Transparent in solution and excellent solubility
  • Suitable for vegan diets

 

Applications:

Actifiber® is easy to incorporate into a wide range of food and beverage categories:

  • Beverages: carbonated drinks, flavoured waters, RTD teas/coffees, fruit-based drinks
  • Bakery & cereals: cakes, pastries, biscuits, breads, cereal bars, snacks
  • Chocolate & confectionery: spreads, fillings, jellies, candies, caramels
  • Dairy & plant-based: yogurts, ice creams, dessert creams, shakes, plant-based milks

 

Real Nutritional Impact:

  • A 250ml fibre-enriched water with Actifiber® can deliver up to 20% of daily fibre needs
  • Cake with Actifiber® can improve Nutri-Score from D to C and qualify for a “high in fibre” claim
  • Ice cream with Actifiber® can achieve a Nutri-Score upgrade from C to A
  • Cereal bars with Actifiber® can improve Nutri-Score from D to B
  • Chocolate with 8% Actifiber® qualifies for a “high in fibre” claim
