Soluble & insoluble fibers without digestive intolerance

Request Number 170317 | Author Mondelēz International

Description

We are looking to identify innovative soluble and insoluble fibers that can be used as bulking agents in various food and snack formats to allow for reduction of sugars, fats and other ingredients to develop lower calorie great tasting lower sugar or fat products.

Background

As part of our ongoing efforts to making the right snack for the right moment, we are exploring ingredients that can be alternatives to fats and sugars, while maintaining the taste and texture that consumers love.

Key Success Criteria

Food appropriate (microbiological & toxins)
Non-laxating, clean label – with usage levels of at least 20g/day
Single molecule ingredientes (for soluble fibers)
Lower calorie than sugar (<2.5 kcal/g)
Insoluble particles that less than 30 microns

Possible Approaches

Any which is food grade and safe;

What We Aren't Interested In

Existing established commercial fibers (e.g. inulin, resistant maltodextrins); high intensity sweeteners (natural or artificial);

Preferred Collaboration types

At this stage, we're open from small scale to "ready to commercialize" novel ingredients and/or various types of mutually-beneficial partnerships
