Balanced Food

Fat replacement

Inulin can stabilise water into a creamy structure with the same mouthfeel as fat.  This enables product developers to replace part of the fat content with Orafti® inulin and reduce the caloric value of products.  Without compromising the taste, this results in a smooth, creamy texture.

Sugar replacement

Orafti® oligofructose is a natural sugar replacer.  It has a moderately sweet taste, - 30% of the sweetness potential of sucrose - without any lingering aftertaste.  So it is often combined with high intensity sweeteners to give more balanced sweetness profile to 'no added sugar' products.

The synergistic effect created by blending the sweeteners also reduces the artificial aftertaste of the high intensity sweeteners, resulting in a more natural, sugar-like sweetness profile.

Alternatively, combinations of oligofructose with nutritive sweeteners as fructose and saccharose are succesfully applied in naturally sugar reduced food products.
