Orafti - Functional Fibres
Inulin-type fructans, such as Orafti Inulin, occur naturally in a great number of plants and vegetables, though the chicory root is a particularly wealthy source. As it is extracted through hot water processing, it is of 100 % vegetable origin. After extraction, purification takes place in order to meet even the highest quality requirements, including those for infant nutrition.

Fibre in, fat out.
Orafti® Inulin is an ideal fat replacer and is easily incorporated in moist or semi-moist food products.
Our fructans help create a creamy taste and similar mouthfeel to fat. This enables developers to replace part of the fat content of their products by Orafti® Inulin.
Perfectly suited for low-fat products, in which it can:
- improve body and mouthfeel, for an excellent flavour profile,
- reduce the caloric value of products without compromising taste or texture.
Orafti® Inulin also improves the stability of dairy mousses and foams.
