Tate & Lyle launches New PROMITOR™ Dietary Fibres

Tate & Lyle has launched PROMITOR™ Resistant Starch and PROMITOR™ Soluble Gluco Fibre to help manufacturers bring important wellness benefits to consumers by adding more fibre to their products.

PROMITOR™ Resistant Starch will help manufacturers add more fibre to baked products and snacks (including cereal, crackers, cookies, bread and pasta), with no impact on taste or texture.  Resistant starch is a starch that “resists” digestion and acts as a dietary fibre.

PROMITOR™ Resistant Starch also has very low water holding capacity, making it easy to formulate with when substituting for wheat flour in low moisture systems such as crackers and cookies.  PROMITOR™ Resistant Starch has the added benefit in fried goods of reducing oil pick-up by 15-20%, which means fewer calories and less fat in the end product

PROMITOR™ Soluble Gluco Fibre has excellent process and acid stability and dissolves clear in applications. It is extremely easy to formulate with and can be used to replace traditional sweeteners such as sugar, liquid and dry sweeteners and low calorie bulking agents (may need to be combined with a high-intensity sweetener.)  Furthermore, at only 2kcal/g, PROMITOR™ Soluble Gluco Fibre can be used to reduce sugar and calories while maintaining the texture and body imparted from nutritive sweeteners.

Both Dietary Fibres are prebiotic fibres¹ that are well-tolerated and have a low glycemic response.

They offer consumer friendly labelling options and manufacturers can also use the PROMITOR™ logo front of pack to highlight its inclusion.
