NOVELOSE® Resistant Starches
NOVELOSE® Resistant Starches
If there’s one health benefit today’s consumers understand and want, it’s fibre. The increasing incidence of diabetes and obesity, and rising awareness of preventing such health issues via a healthy diet, have driven the demand for high-fibre foods in Asia Pacific.
As you work to enrich the fibre content of your products, you have to overcome the unappealing effects fibre can often have on taste, texture and appearance. Now, NOVELOSE® resistant starches are here to help you provide the fibre-rich and reduced- calorie products consumers want while delivering just the right taste and texture in your baked goods, pasta, noodles and extruded cereal and snacks.

ADDRESS THE FIBRE TREND
Consumer awareness about dietary fibre and the health benefits associated with its increased consumption are on the rise. According to a 2015 Nielsen Global Health & Wellness report, 36% of respondents rated foods high in fibre as very important, with Asia Pacific closely mirroring global averages for the desire for foods that are high in fibre, and are low in carbohydrates and reduced calories.
With escalating sales of functional and health foods that provide both nutrition as well as good sensory properties that meet consumer needs, the strong demand for dietary fibre is expected to continue in Asia Pacific. In fact, the region is projected to lead the growth of dietary fibre demand, predicted to make up more than 17% of the global dietary fibre market share by 2020[1].
Stay on top of these trends with NOVELOSE®, a novel, insoluble, type 4 resistant starch that offers little to no impact on taste, colour or texture.

Health-conscious consumers will also appreciate the potential calorie and carbohydrate reduction.
