oceanfiber

A NOVEL SOURCE OF TEXTURIZING & DIETARY FIBRES

FROM THE RED SEAWEED GRACILARIA VERRUCOSA

 Conventional processing of Red Seaweeds (Class Rhodophyta) focuses on the extraction of  the water-soluble components – such as agar-agar, whereas the water-insoluble components – consisting mainly of dietary fibres, are usually discarded.
Now, applying newly developed technologies, both fiber components are united in a mature, novel product basically consisting of highly functional fibers and offering a good versatility in many applications:

OCEANFIBER

Seaweeds have been traditionally been recorded as part of the human diet.

As such, oceanfiber does NOT require an E-Number, which would have been typical for Food Additives. This feature provides the end-user with a high flexibility in formulation and labelling.

Advantages of oceanfiber

Contains both, soluble and insoluble dietary fibre constituents of Red Seaweeds: 34% of Dietary Fibres in 10 g of oceanfiber. Highly suitable for Dietary Supplement products/Weight-management Food products High water-binding capacity Imparts a full-bodied texture and a succulent mouthfeel Gluten-free High in functional minerals Completely neutral in taste and odour Easy and practical to incorporate in industrial formulations NO E-Number, „Clean Label“ –friendly
