High-swelling fibers provide functional properties
Herbacel AQ Plus fibers from Dempsey Corp. are created when the non-fiber substances are removed while keeping the natural cell complex intact. These high-swelling fibers provide longer-lasting satiety and functional properties in many different foods. Herbacel AQ Plus citrus is a powder with a very high fiber content and excellent cold-swelling properties. It features a texturizing and structuring capacity, a high water binding capacity and a clean label, and can be used in acidified milk beverages to increase viscosity and achieve calorie reduction. In fresh cheese and milk desserts, consistency is improved and fat reduction can be achieved. In ice cream, it improves melting behavior, reduces fat and improves creaminess.
