CARAFIBRE®, acacia gum, prebiotic dietary fibre for cereal bars

Producing cereals with CARAFIBRE® guarantees a product with a higher percentage of fibre.

Fortifying bars with CARAFIBRE® stabilizes the texture during the storage by controlling the water activity.
It binds all ingredients together, provides a lighter texture and increases the cereal shelf-life.

It also gives a better bowl-life to breakfast cereals.

CARAFIBRE® enrichment allows the reduction of the polyols or sucrose amounts while keeping the same binding properties of syrup, making it particularly suitable for low carbohydrated products.

It allows hygroscopicity reduction of the fruits and the binding syrup, in particular if it is made with sorbitol. It ensures the decrease of the glycaemic index and is more appealing to the comsumers' eyes.

CARAFIBRE® is also an efficient emulsifier for bars, which eliminates the need to add lecithin in the syrup.
