Tate & Lyle Expands PROMITOR Soluble Fiber Range

Tate & Lyle recently announced the expansion of its PROMITOR Soluble Fiber range. The expansion sees the launch of two new liquid versions of PROMITOR: Soluble Fiber W and Soluble Fiber 90L. These versions have been developed to make adding fiber to applications including confectionery, beverages and bars, easier and more cost effective. This allows food and beverage manufacturers to make their products healthier, both by reducing sugar and calories and by fortifying them with fiber, while maintaining great taste, texture and consumer experience.

“These additions to our PROMITOR Soluble Fiber range bring all the existing benefits of PROMITOR that have helped make the product range so popular both for adding fiber to products and for lowering sugar and calories. They provide very high digestive tolerance, excellent acid, heat and process stability, consumer-friendly labeling options, and most importantly of all the ability to maintain great taste, texture and appearance in an extensive range of food and beverage applications,” said Susanna Palatucci, Global Head of Health and Wellness at Tate & Lyle.

Both of the new ingredients address specific needs in certain types of products. PROMITOR Soluble Fiber W, which contains a minimum of 85% fiber and less than 2% sugars, has a lower viscosity than comparable fiber ingredients and performs particularly well in confectionery products such as gummies. It can therefore be used for sugar reduction in mainstream confectionery or for fiber fortification in nutritional confectionery products.

PROMITOR Soluble Fiber 90L is a liquid version of Tate & Lyle’s existing 90% fiber powder ingredient, which, depending on the end-product and manufacturing set-up, can provide production efficiencies by avoiding the need to dissolve or handle powders. The ingredient has lower viscosity and is easier to handle and use than comparative products on the market.
