what is F ibersol-2 ?
Fibersol®-2 digestion-resistant maltodextrin is a soluble corn fiber that acts as a
low-calorie bulking agent containing 90 percent dietary fiber. It can be used with
minimal formulation adjustments in a variety of food applications to maintain
or improve a product’s desired attributes. Even at significant levels, Fibersol-2
doesn’t affect taste or viscosity. Fibersol-2, digestion resistant maltodextrin, is a
spray-dried powder produced by a proprietary method of controlled enzymatic
hydrolysis of cornstarch. It has numerous starch linkages that remain undigested
by enzymes of the human digestive tract. It is recognized as GRAS (generally
recognized as safe) by the Food and Drug Administration and certified Kosher
and Pareve by the Orthodox Union. A variety of functional, physical, and sensory
attributes of Fibersol-2, digestion resistant maltodextrin, will bring opportunities
to food and beverage applications.

Fibersol -2 is a 90 percent minimum dry solids
basis soluble dietary fiber (in accordance with
AOAC method #2001.03) and one of the most
economical fiber sources available. Fibersol-2
digestion resistant maltodextrin analytically meets
the definition of dietary fiber for nutrition labeling
purposes, as published by the American Association
of Cereal Chemists (AACC). Nutritionally, Fibersol-2
meets the criteria accepted to define dietary fiber
as determined by the Institute of Medicine in the
2002 Dietary Reference Intakes Report for Fiber*.
Fibersol-2 is a fiber ingredient that can easily be
incorporated into all types of beverages, processed
foods, cultured dairy products, frozen dairy desserts,
confections, dietary supplements and much more.
Solubility:
Water soluble up to 70% (w/w) at 20° C
Dispersibility:
Excellent
®
*Fibersol®-2, digestion resistant maltodextrin, is a dietary fiber. This
classification is consistent with both the American Association of
Cereal Chemists’ and the Food and Nutrition Board of the National
Academy of Sciences’ (NAS) definitions of dietary fiber. In both
cases, Fibersol-2, digestion resistant maltodextrin, is classified as
“resistant maltodextrin,” and in both cases, “resistant maltodextrin”
is classified as a dietary fiber.
** In April 2001, AOAC formally approved analytical methodology
(“Determination of Total Dietary Fiber and Resistant Maltodextrin in
Select Foods by Combination of Enzyme-Gravimetric and LC,” AOAC
method #2001.03), which measures digestion resistant maltodextrin.

F iber for Health
Fibersol®-2, digestion resistant
maltodextrin, is a low viscosity soluble
dietary fiber that clinical research has
indicated helps support or maintain
intestinal regularity. Clinical studies show
that Fibersol-2 helps to relieve occasional
constipation and select studies show that
it improves stool consistency.
Studies show that, when taken with
a meal, Fibersol-2, digestion resistant
maltodextrin, may attenuate the rise
in serum glucose following the meal.
Fibersol-2 has the potential to reduce
peak postprandial blood glucose and
insulin levels that are within the normal
range in healthy individuals. In addition,
studies show that Fibersol-2 does not
alter healthy, steady-state blood glucose
or insulin levels to outside normal ranges.
Limited data also suggest that, when
taken with a meal or food, Fibersol-2,
digestion resistant maltodextrin, may
attenuate the rise in serum triglycerides
following the meal and that it may help
retain healthy serum triglyceride levels.
Fibersol®-2 is multifunctional and can be used in countless
applications. It is perfect for formulators as well as consumers.
It can be incorporated into all types of beverages, processed
F ibersol-2 delivers 1.6 kcal per gra m!
foods, cultured dairy products, frozen dairy desserts,
confections and dietary supplements in every form.
Fibersol®-2: Formulation Benefits
• Fibersol-2 is a highly concentrated form of dietary fiber that is highly soluble in water, forming a clear solution
• Fibersol-2 adds minimal viscosity
• Fibersol-2 has no added flavor, taste or color
• Fibersol-2 can be dropped into any application with minimal formulation adjustments
• Fibersol-2 is heat, acid, shear and freeze/thaw stable, maintaining its fiber content under these conditions,
allowing for ultimate formulation/food processing versatility
• Fibersol-2 delivers 1.6 kcal per gram (important for lower-calorie products), contains very few simple sugars (for consideration in “no sugar added” or “sugar free” claims) and can be used up to 10 grams (dry basis) in any application while providing only 0.20 grams of sugars (typical value)
• 90 percent concentrated fiber
• Low hygroscopicity in dry formulations
• Fibersol-2 enhances positive organoleptic attributes, such as improved mouth feel and bitterness masking, while contributing no flavor of its own–especially important for sugar-free and high-protein products
Applications
• Baked Goods
• Cereals
• Snack foods
• Confections
• Sauces, gravies and dressings
• Beverages
• Dairy
nutritional information
Ingredient Statement
Fibersol-2 can be labeled as “digestion resistant
maltodextrin”, “resistant maltodextrin”, “maltodextrin”,
or “soluble corn fiber”.
Any of the above can be followed by “fiber”, “dietary
fiber”, “soluble dietary fiber”, “source of dietary fiber”,
“dietary fiber [Fibersol-2]”, or “Fibersol-2”. Example:
maltodextrin (dietary fiber [Fibersol-2])
Fiber Claim*
“Good source” claim = 10+% DV = 2.5 g total dietary
fiber per serving = 2.8 g Fibersol®-2 per serving (assumes
Fibersol-2 is sole source of dietary fiber)
“Excellent source” claim = 20+% DV = 5.0 g total dietary
fiber per serving = 5.6 g Fibersol-2 per serving (assumed
Fibersol-2 is sole source of dietary fiber)
*In support of nutrient content claims, factors such as the amount of total fat,
saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium in the finished food must be taken into
account to allow a claim.

*The scientifically determined energy value for Fibersol®-2 is 1.6 kcal/gram. When calculating
energy content of complex foods containing Fibersol-2, use 1.4 kcal/g for the fiber portion
contributed by Fibersol-2 as measured by AOAC 2001.03. Note that this rounded value yields
a lower than actual Fibersol-2 energy value when applying the energy factors for carbohydrate/
protein/fat/fiber to the typical composition values provided.
F ibersol-2 offers a cost-effective way
to reach your desired fiber claims and
can be used sea mlessly with other
fiber sources to “top off ” fiber content.

Structure/Function Claims
In support of structure/function
claims relating to the inclusion
of Fibersol®-2, digestive resistant
maltodextrin, in products, typically,
a minimum 6.0+ g Fibersol-2 as is
per serving is needed to reference
back to existing and ongoing clinical
research. Factors such as amount of
total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol,
and sodium in the finished food
to which Fibersol-2 is added must
be taken into account to allow a
claim. Customers assume all final
responsibility for claim support of
their product.
