• Versafibe® 285

Today's shoppers are seeking more fibre— in fact, 70% of consumers feel digestive health is very/extremely important¹ and understand the need to increase fibre in their foods. At the same time, sugar monitoring is at a 10-year high, with 62% of consumers watching sugar content in their diet.²

With VERSAFIBE^™ dietary fibres, you're able to address both trends — creating reduced-sugar/higher-fibre products with just-right textures and bringing fibre’s health benefits to a wide range of gluten- and grain-free products.

Solve the challenges of functional build-back (FBB) in reduced-sugar recipes with VERSAFIBE^™ 285 soluble corn fibre— ideal for adding back the bulk, texture and functional aspects of sugar important to your product’s eating or drinking experience.

Perfectly browned muffins. Chewy nutrition bars. Creamy chocolates. Consumers want fewer calories and more fibre without giving up the taste and texture they love. 

With Ingredion’s VERSAFIBE™ 285 soluble corn fibre, formulators gain an ideal solution to build back sensory and functional attributes lost when reducing or replacing sugar, contributing up to 25% sugar reduction across a wide range of applications — while also offering the appeal of high fibre, for consumer-friendly product claims.
