| Herbacel Classic Dietary Fibres
Herbacel Classic dietary fibres are made of fibre
rich parts of fruits, vegetables or cereals. The dietary fibre content
varies between 55 and 75 %, depending on the raw material. The dietary
fibres comprise mainly of non-starch polysaccharides forming the cell
walls. Different amounts of plant own sugars, starch, protein or lipids
can also be found. Additionally, secondary plant metabolits like
polyphenols, carotenoids or anthocyans contribute to characteristic
behaviour concerning the flavour, colour or taste of the fibres.

(Apple fibre)
Apple fibre is made of juice extracted and
carefully dried apples from selected growing areas. It has a
characteristically pleasant apple flavour. The total fibre content
according to the AOAC method is approx. 60%, of which 46% are in the
form of insoluble dietary fibres and 14% as soluble dietary fibres,
mainly pectin.
Digestible carbohydrates are present in the form of the natural
sugars found in apples, particularly fructose. There is also a
relatively large proportion of potassium and calcium.
Apple fibre is available in various particle sizes. The balanced
fibre spectrum and pleasant organoleptic characteristics make it
extremely useful. Applications include bread and baked goods, e.g.
short crust pastry and gingerbread, cereal and fruit bars and fruit
