Looking to align new applications and product development, Cargill, Minneapolis, MN, and Belgium-based Cosucra have increased their joint focus on inulin and oligofructose under the Oliggo-Fiber inulin brand. The increased collaboration is expected to deliver greater value to customers and make a bigger impact in the market.

An estimated 60% of adults are now trying to increase their fiber consumption. Most shoppers actively look for fiber content on food labels, yet most people only consume about half of the daily fiber requirements of 25-30 grams. Cargill’s Oliggo-Fiber inulin is the natural, “invisible” soluble fiber that enables food and beverage manufacturers to add fiber’s many health benefits to a wide selection of products. A versatile ingredient made from chicory roots, it is virtually undetectable in most foods and beverages. It is an ideal solution for those consumers looking to increase fiber intake for a host of health reasons, including the satiety benefits, enhancing calcium absorption and supporting digestive health.

“Studies have shown that 8 grams of inulin per day may increase calcium absorption among pre-teens and post-menopausal women, making it important for bone health,” said Deborah Schulz, product manager, Cargill Health & Nutrition. “Oliggo-Fiber inulin is also a prebiotic that supports the natural, healthful bacteria in the lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract. And, it is suitable for use in diabetic/low glycemic diets.”

Products made with Oliggo-Fiber inulin may also be formulated with a lower fat content and fewer calories because of its functionality as a fat/sugar replacer.
