Beneo has extended the production line at its Chile plant to process its liquid chicory root fiber Orafti Oligofructose LL, which is a highly soluble dietary fiber that offers binding and humectant properties important for use in products like cereal bars. The ingredient's sugar reduction and fiber enrichment properties allow it to be used in baked goods, cereals, or dairy alternatives. It can support digestive and immune health, weight management, and help reduce blood glucose responses. The new technology extends the shelf life of the ingredient to one year, which is particularly beneficial to customers in America, according to the company. The expansion will also allow Beneo to explore overseas marketing and new development opportunities.
