Pure Fiber’s Corn Fiber is GMO free, gluten free, vegan and antibiotic free. Dietary Fibers are carbohydrates which are not digested in the small intestine, but are fermented fully or partially by the bacterial flora in the large intestine. The fermentation of such fibers leads to formation of short chain fatty acids. Studies show that our diets lack dietary fiber: the average fiber consumption is around 15g/day however, WHO daily recommended intake is 25-30g.
- Benefits of Corn Fiber
Nutritional Benefits.
- Improves the nutritional profile of food by increasing its fiber content.
- Is low calorie and has a low glycemic index.
- Is an effective ingredient for the development of reduced and low calorie foods.
- Is undergoing human interventions for blood glucose modulation and prebiotic effects.
Health Benefits.
- Slowly Fermented and well tolerated (1,2).
- Reduction of cholesterol and lipids concentration by the consumption of 20g/day of Corn Arabinoxylan (3).
- Reduction of risks of chronic lifestyle diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, type II diabetes, and gastrointestinal cancer by consumption of cereal fibers (4, 5,6).
- Potential Effect on Diabete type II, linked to the high level of propionate produced from colonic fermentation of corn arabinoxylan, which improve insulin sensitivity (2,7).

Corn Fiber in powder form is easy to use and compatible with different manufacturing processes. Corn Fiber is a label-friendly fiber which is heat-stable across a large range of pH, with good solubility and low viscosity. It can replace part of digestible carbohydrates, leading to calorie reduction and fiber fortification. “High fiber source” claim can be achieved in snacks, cereal bars and bakery applications.
