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

- 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
