What is Fibersol®-LQ
Fibersol®-LQ corn syrup, a soluble corn fiber, is a unique, nutritionally-enhanced ingredient containing approximately 75% fiber on a dry solids basis. It is used to increase the fiber content of many foods, while adding sweetness and humectancy as additional benefits. Fiber fortification is simplified because Fibersol®-LQ is water-soluble making fiber enhancements feasible in products such as frozen desserts, yogurts, beverages, cereals, dips, sauces, candy, and bars.
