The importance of dietary fibre to health is widely recognised, as is the need to increase our daily consumption.

Today’s lifestyles have caused major changes to eating habits with the result that a typical diet has become notably deficient in fibre, often by as much as half (15g/day as against recommended intake of 30 g/day)

At the same time obesity levels in New Zealand are reaching epidemic proportions

Health professionals and consumer groups are encouring food manufacturers to reformulate products increasing fibre, whilst reducing sugar and fat.

After extensive research and development, Roquette have developed an all-encompassing solution - Nutriose® 

Nutriose® is soluble fibre, regarded as a food ingredient which can be labelled as ‘starch’ or ‘dextrin’. It combines outstanding digestive tolerance , with fiber enrichment to optimum recommended levels, progressive energy release (low GI), potential for fat and sugar reduction, plus great taste.

In addition to its functional properties Nutriose®  is shown to have excellent acid and heat resistance. It is, primarily, available in two fibre levels (85% and 70%), and able to be manufactured from wheat or maize.

Nutriose® …………………. More fibre, more effectively
