FIBRULINE ™, chicory root fiber or chicory inulin, is a soluble dietary fiber obtained from chicory roots through a gentle water extraction process. It is a natural food ingredient, available in liquid or powder form. The chicory root fiber FIBRULINE ™ represents carbohydrates stored in the chicory root, like the sugar stored in the beet or potato starch.
But, what is inulin? Inulin belongs to the fructan family. It is an indigestible oligosaccharide made from two to 60 units of fructose joined by β2-1 bonds, most terminated by one unit of glucose. It is the ß2-1 bonds that prevent its absorption by the small intestine, making it a fiber. Oligofructose or fructooligosaccharide (FOS) is a selection of short chains of inulin, or chicory root fiber .
- An Invisible Fiber
FIBRULINE ™ chicory fiber is a highly soluble and easy to use fiber. Better yet, it's an effective sugar substitute with medium sweetening power. Long chain inulin can be made into a fat replacement gel after being heated in a water process, which gives it a better mouth feel and smoothness. FIBRULINE ™ chicory fiber does not alter color or taste, regardless of dosage, hence its name "invisible fiber".

Regulatory & Compliance
- Iso Certified Natural Fiber
Recently, the ISO standard established a new criterion for the “natural” designation of food ingredients: the natural presence has become an essential criterion to obtain this certification. Therefore, many other dietary fibers, not found in nature, cannot achieve this certification.
Our range of chicory root fiber FIBRULINE ™ COSUCRA therefore benefits from the “natural” designation according to the ISO19657: 2017 standard.
