NUTRIOSE^® soluble fibers from Roquette achieve NutraStrong™ prebiotic verified certification

Roquette, a global leader in sustainable plant-based solutions, announces that its NUTRIOSE^® soluble fibers that hold clinical evidence of health benefits have now also gained NutraStrong^™ Prebiotic Verified product certification from SGS Nutrasource. This recognition reinforces Roquette’s commitment to science-backed nutrition, according to the company.

NutraStrong^™ Prebiotic Verified, which is provided by the third-party certification body SGS NutraSource, is an industry-spanning program that validates the efficacy of prebiotic ingredients. By establishing clear benchmarks regarding manufacturing quality, label compliance and testing protocols, NutraStrong™ safeguards against misleading claims and ensures that only science-based products earn its seal of approval.

Through a rigorous evaluation process, NUTRIOSE^® FM 06, NUTRIOSE^® FB 06, and NUTRIOSE^® FM 15S soluble fibers were found to meet stringent criteria set by SGS Nutrasource in quality manufacturing and science-based claims through clinical evidence to support prebiotic function.

Strong endorsement for plant-based prebiotic fibers

The NUTRIOSE^® portfolio has been developed to help consumers increase their intake of this critical nutrient. NUTRIOSE^® is a range of non-GMO corn or wheat soluble fibers with clinically proven health benefits and excellent digestive tolerance. With a neutral taste, high solubility, and outstanding process stability, NUTRIOSE^® enables manufacturers an easy integration across food and beverages applications, without altering original tastes or textures.

Research shows that NUTRIOSE^® promotes beneficial bacteria in the gut and modulates the gut environment.^1,2,3,4 Moreover, NUTRIOSE^® has demonstrated microbiota-related health benefits such as blood glucose management, satiety, weight management and sustained energy release.⁵ More recent studies demonstrate initial evidence around immune health and mental wellbeing. Roquette has 25 years of scientific expertise in the fiber field, supported by more than 26 clinical studies and over 30 preclinical studies.

Feeding consumer appetite for fiber-fortified food

Consumers are increasingly interested in fibers and prebiotics in food and beverages, largely due to their associated gut health benefits. Consumers see gut health as a gateway to holistic wellness, with 59 %⁶ of them believing gut health is important for the entire body. Moreover, awareness about prebiotics is growing: 64 % of people globally have heard of them – with over half of those (52 %) having purchased prebiotic products in the last twelve months.⁷ As such, investment in fiber-focused innovations is expected to significantly grow over the coming years.

The NutraStrong^™ Prebiotic Verified product certification applies to NUTRIOSE^® FM 06, NUTRIOSE^® FB 06, and NUTRIOSE^® FM 15S, which are also all low-FODMAP certified and non-GMO Project Verified.
