Solution Spotlight
With expert support and an extensive ingredient portfolio spanning fibres, sweeteners, starches, hydrocolloids and more, we can find the right solution for any goal.
We have a range of products that are classified as dietary fibres, offering added nutritional, health and wellbeing benefits for consumers. Our dietary fibres can enable a variety of health benefits; for example, our PROMITOR® Soluble Fibre supports bone health and calcium absorption² while our STA-LITE® Polydextrose supports satiety and energy/calorie intake reduction³. These fibres can form the foundations of bold fortification, usable in amounts that bridge the fibre gap in 1-2 servings while preserving digestive tolerance.
Our range of functional fibres can be labelled and categorised simply as fibres. They are used to build back mouthfeel, add viscosity in sugar-reduced applications and replace creamy texture in calorie-reduced applications. These fibres are often the preferred choice over other ingredients, selected for their combination of label friendliness, desirable calorie content and functionality.

Our soluble fibres deliver a clean taste and neutral colour, making them easy to blend into bakery formulations. They help create appealing texture, colour and body while improving nutrient density, making them ideal for applications ranging from cakes and pastries to “no sugar added” and “sugar‑free” baked goods.
By supporting texture and taste while enabling sugar and calorie reduction, our range of fibres can allow for a wide range of texture profiles whether you’re looking for a crispy, crunchy texture or maintaining a soft texture throughout shelf life.
They also support fermentation and naturally boost crust browning and Maillard reaction for richer colour and flavour.
Our fibres are ideally suited for modern beverage formulations that demand both nutrition and great taste. With their neutral flavour and colour, they integrate seamlessly into everything from soft drinks and juices to isotonic beverages.
Our fibre portfolio can help improve body, texture and mouthfeel in reduced sugar drinks, supporting brands looking to stand out in the health drink category. And with functional benefits including calorie reduction, lower glycaemic response, and with PROMITOR® Soluble Fibre and STA-LITE® Polydextrose exceptional digestive tolerance, our fibre solutions allow you to deliver beverages that feel as good as they taste, without compromise.
Our fibres can deliver excellent coating and binding capabilities with desired film formation and adhesion. This enables excellent bowl life stability by providing a barrier that prolongs crispiness without compromising crunchiness or shiny appearance, all while enabling a meaningful sugar reduction.
Fibres play a critical role across confectionery formats, delivering texture, bulk and mouthfeel that help replace traditional nutritive sweeteners. They support applications from boiled sweets and caramels to jellies, marshmallows, fondants and gums.
Their ability to emulate the bulk and viscosity of sugar makes them ideal for creating reduced‑sugar confections that still deliver satisfying chew and flavour. And by lowering added sugars and calories, while increasing fibre content, we can also improve nutrition density of confectionery products.
We have many fibre options available to maintain consumer desired appearance, taste and texture throughout shelf life. And we offer our fibres in different formats, to aid in manufacturing and for ease of handling.
Our fibres can help dairy producers create deliciously smooth, creamy products with improved mouthfeel and texture, even in reduced fat or reduced sugar versions. They can support prebiotic benefits, digestive health and bone health, depending on region.
Their superior process stability, even under conditions like homogenisation and low pH, ensures consistency across ice creams, yoghurts, dairy drinks and more.
Clean in taste and neutral in colour, our fibres work well in cereal bars, granola clusters and other snack formats. They provide binding strength, chewiness and balanced sweetness, while supporting vegan, enriched, reduced‑calorie and reduced‑fat product development.
Their role in bulk replacement makes them especially beneficial in low‑sugar and health‑focused snack bar reformulation.
Our fibres offer excellent bulking, texture and viscosity control, helping formulators achieve smooth, stable results across soups, sauces and dressings.
