fiber fit for all! what is Fibersol-2? Fibersol®-2 digestion-resistant maltodextrin is a soluble corn fiber that acts as a low-calorie bulking agent containing 90 percent dietary fiber. It can be used with minimal formulation adjustments in a variety of food applications to maintain Fiber for Health or improve a product’s desired attributes. Even at significant levels, Fibersol-2 Fibersol®-2, digestion resistant doesn’t affect taste or viscosity. Fibersol-2, digestion resistant maltodextrin, is a maltodextrin, is a low viscosity soluble spray-dried powder produced by a proprietary method of controlled enzymatic dietary fiber that clinical research has hydrolysis of cornstarch. It has numerous starch linkages that remain undigested indicated helps support or maintain by enzymes of the human digestive tract. It is recognized as GRAS (generally intestinal regularity. Clinical studies show recognized as safe) by the Food and Drug Administration and certified Kosher that Fibersol-2 helps to relieve occasional and Pareve by the Orthodox Union. A variety of functional, physical, and sensory constipation and select studies show that attributes of Fibersol-2, digestion resistant maltodextrin, will bring opportunities it improves stool consistency. to food and beverage applications.

Fibersol-2 has the potential to reduce Soluble Dietary Fiber Flavor: No flavor, clean peak postprandial blood glucose and Fibersol®-2 is a 90 percent minimum dry solids Solubility: Water soluble up to 70% (w/w) at 20° C insulin levels that are within the normal basis soluble dietary fiber (in accordance with Dispersibility: Excellent range in healthy individuals. In addition, AOAC method #2001.03) and one of the most Hygroscopicity: Very low studies show that Fibersol-2 does not economical fiber sources available. Fibersol-2 Stability: Acid, heat/retort processing and freeze/thaw stable alter healthy, steady-state blood glucose digestion resistant maltodextrin analytically meets Viscosity: Very low; 15 cps, 30% solution at 30° C or insulin levels to outside normal ranges. the definition of dietary fiber for nutrition labeling Sweetness: Low, no sweetness purposes, as published by the American Association Bulk Density: Approx. 0.48 g per ml (30 lbs. per cubic foot) Limited data also suggest that, when of Cereal Chemists (AACC). Nutritionally, Fibersol-2 taken with a meal or food, Fibersol-2, meets the criteria accepted to define dietary fiber Typical Chemical Properties digestion resistant maltodextrin, may as determined by the Institute of Medicine in the Water-soluble 90% minimum dry solids basis (in accordance with attenuate the rise in serum triglycerides 2002 Dietary Reference Intakes Report for Fiber*. dietary fiber*: AOAC method #2001.03)** following the meal and that it may help Fibersol-2 is a fiber ingredient that can easily be Moisture: 5% maximum retain healthy serum triglyceride levels. incorporated into all types of beverages, processed Protein: None foods, cultured dairy products, frozen dairy desserts, Fat: None confections, dietary supplements and much more.

*Fibersol®-2, digestion resistant maltodextrin, is a dietary fiber. This classification is consistent with both the American Association of Cereal Chemists’ and the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Carbohydrate profile (% of total carbohydrate) Academy of Sciences’ (NAS) definitions of dietary fiber. In both DP1: 0.9% cases, Fibersol-2, digestion resistant maltodextrin, is classified as “resistant maltodextrin,” and in both cases, “resistant maltodextrin” DP2: 1.4% is classified as a dietary fiber. DP3: 4.0% ** In April 2001, AOAC formally approved analytical methodology (“Determination of Total Dietary Fiber and Resistant Maltodextrin in DP4 - 6: 24.0% Select Foods by Combination of Enzyme-Gravimetric and LC,” AOAC method #2001.03), which measures digestion resistant maltodextrin. DP7+: 70.0% Fibersol®-2 is multifunctional and can be used in countless applications. It is perfect for formulators as well as consumers. It can be incorporated into all types of beverages, processed foods, cultured dairy products, frozen dairy desserts, Fibersol-2 delivers 1.6 kcal per gram! confections and dietary supplements in every form.

Fibersol®-2: Formulation Benefits • Fibersol-2 is a highly concentrated form of dietary fiber that is highly soluble in water, forming a clear solution • Fibersol-2 adds minimal viscosity • Fibersol-2 has no added flavor, taste or color • Fibersol-2 can be dropped into any application with minimal formulation adjustments Applications • Fibersol-2 is heat, acid, shear and freeze/thaw stable, • Baked Goods maintaining its fiber content under these conditions, allowing for ultimate formulation/food processing • Cereals versatility • Snack foods • Fibersol-2 delivers 1.6 kcal per gram (important for • Confections lower-calorie products), contains very few simple sugars (for consideration in “no sugar added” or “sugar free” • Sauces, gravies and dressings claims) and can be used up to 10 grams (dry basis) in any • Beverages application while providing only 0.20 grams of sugars (typical value) • Dairy • 90 percent concentrated fiber • Low hygroscopicity in dry formulations • Fibersol-2 enhances positive organoleptic attributes, such as improved mouth feel and bitterness masking, while contributing no flavor of its own–especially important for sugar-free and high-protein products Fibersol-2 offers a cost-effective way to reach your desired fiber claims and can be used seamlessly with other fiber sources to “top off” fiber content. nutritional information

*The scientifically determined energy value for Fibersol®-2 is 1.6 kcal/gram. When calculating energy content of complex foods containing Fibersol-2, use 1.4 kcal/g for the fiber portion contributed by Fibersol-2 as measured by AOAC 2001.03. Note that this rounded value yields a lower than actual Fibersol-2 energy value when applying the energy factors for carbohydrate/ protein/fat/fiber to the typical composition values provided. fiber fit for all!
