what is Fibersol-2 AG? Fibersol -2 AG, digestion resistant maltodextrin, a soluble corn fiber, has been specially designed for applications in which rapid dispersion and quick dissolution are key for final product success. Fibersol-2 AG is an agglomerated form of digestive resistant maltodextrin and is ideal in specialized applications. Fibersol-2 AG is a spray-dried powder produced by the pyrolysis and controlled enzymatic hydrolysis of cornstarch. Fibersol-2 AG, digestion resistant maltodextrin, analytically and nutritionally meets the definition of dietary fiber for nutrition labeling purposes, as published by the American Association of Cereal Chemists (AACC) and proposed by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), respectively. It is GRAS as maltodextrin, free flowing, readily dispersible in water, and produces a totally soluble, clear solution. With no inherent flavor of its own, Fibersol-2 AG provides a variety of physical and sensory functionality to foods and beverages, and several physiological benefits when consumed. Fiber for Health Initial research has shown that Fibersol -2 AG can provide an increased feeling of satiety, leaving consumers feeling fuller for longer periods of time making it ideal for products marketed for weight management. F ibersol-2 AG has been specially designed for applications in which rapid dispersion and quick dissolution are key for product success!

Fibersol-2 AG can be used to replace calories from sugar and fat while increasing fiber content. *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 Academy of Sciences (NAS) definitions of dietary fiber. In both cases, Fibersol-2 digestion resistant maltodextrin is classified as resistant maltodextrin, and in both cases, resistant maltodextrin is classified as a dietary fiber. ** In April 2001, AOAC formally approved analytical methodology ( Determination of Total Dietary Fiber and Resistant Maltodextrin in Select Foods by Combination of Enzyme-Gravimetric and LC, AOAC method #2001.03), which measures digestion resistant maltodextrin.
Produce a completely clear solution with Fibersol-2 AG! Fibersol -2 AG is an agglomerated form of digestion resistant maltodextrin that acts as a low calorie bulking agent containing 90 percent dietary fiber. It can be used in many food applications where rapid dispersion and quick dissolution properties are needed. Fibersol -2 AG: Formulation Benefits High solubility Rapid dispersion Quick dissolution Increase total soluble fiber No added flavor, taste Transparent solution Adds minimal viscosity Low hygroscopicity in dry formulations Masks out metallic taste (to a more sugar-like flavor) of high-intensity sweeteners Requires minimal formulation and process adjustment Compatible with various products Applications where low bulk density is needed Instant hand stir-in or shake beverages where Fibersol-2 AG is the primary dry ingredient Carrier for supplements, vitamins, flavors, colors and high intensity sweeteners Tableting applications where particle size is essential for proper flow properties in process Applications where increased oil absorption properties are needed (as compared to standard Fibersol -2) Applications where low-dusting ingredients are required Applications Instant hand stir-in or shake beverages Instant spice mix and gravy concepts Supplements Tablets/capsules Table top sweetener
nutritional information Fibersol-2 AG is ideal for instant stir-in or shake beverages where it is the primary dry ingredient. Fiber Claim* 2.8g of Fibersol -2 AG (2.5g fiber)/serving: Good source of fiber 5.6g of Fibersol -2 AG (5.0g fiber)/serving: Excellent source of fiber *In support of nutrient content claims, factors such as the amount of total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium in the finished food must be taken into account to allow a claim. No Added Sugar and Sugar-Free Foods Fibersol-2 AG contains very few simple sugars for your consideration of a no sugar added or sugar-free claim (21CFR101.60), and can be used up to 1rams (dry basis) in any food application while only providing 0.20 grams of sugars (typical value).

When calculating energy content of complex foods containing Fibersol-2 AG, 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 AG energy value when applying the energy factors for carbohydrate/protein/fat/fiber to the typical composition values provided.
