Product Specifications

Why Choose Our Chicory Extract for Your Formulations?

Our Chicory Extract Powder provides solutions to key issues faced by the industry today in developing contemporary foods. You get a natural bulking agent that substitutes for the physical bulk of sugar without adding calories, the answer to the "hollow" mouthfeel problem with reduced-sugar products. The long-chain inulin structure mimics the mouthfeel of fat in low-fat dairy and baked goods, giving you a creamy consistency without breaking clean-label requirements.

It's a soluble prebiotic fibre that will fully dissolve in any beverage – and won't leave a gritty sediment. This makes it perfect for functional drink compositions where clarity and smooth texture are important. Fermentation of the substance in the colon is selective, encouraging the growth of good bacteria in the gut while aiding absorption of minerals and blood glucose regulation.

Its heat stability up to 140°C at neutral pH makes it easy to use into baking and UHT processing. This will keep your production line efficient without the need for extra equipment upgrades or process changes.

Application Solutions Across Industries

Food Industry: Improve yoghurts, ice creams and spreads with fat-mimetic characteristics. Replace 20-30% of the sugar in baked goods without changing the structure. Boost nutrition bars with 5-10g of fibre per serving and not compromise on taste.

Beverage Sector: Develop functional beverages with a clear prebiotic claim. Mask high intensity sweetener bitterness in sports drinks, flavoured waters. Support claims on 'high fibre' labels for ready-to-drink health drinks.

Supplement Manufacturing: Develop powdered drink mix and digestive health capsules. For synbiotic goods, combine with probiotics. Help weight management supplements as an element that improves satiety.

Bakery Applications: Enhance moisture retention in gluten-free products. Increase shelf life by water-binding capacity.  Reduce fat in cakes and cookies and retain suppleness.

Technical Advantages from Avans NutriHealth

Our group enterprise organization incorporates R&D, manufacturing and quality control. This vertical integration provides batch-to-batch consistency and prompt technical response to your formulation needs. We have a team of experts that can assist you with pre-sales consulting and post-delivery support to help you optimise dose levels and processing parameters.

The extraction process involves multi-stage filtering and enzymatic purification to remove contaminants and off-flavors and to concentrate the active ingredients. Finally, rigorous testing processes confirm inulin content, moisture levels and microbiological safety before shipment. All batches have third-party certified verification to meet international trade requirements.

Our multi-wall Kraft bags, PE lined, are protecting the hygroscopic powder during the transportation and storage. This package design minimises moisture absorption to prevent caking and maintain flowability throughout the inventory cycle.

Storage and Handling Recommendations

Proper storage extends the shelf life and performance of the product. Store in sealed containers in regulated climates (below 25°C and less than 60% relative humidity). Once opened, reclosing bags promptly using clips or heat sealing will avoid moisture absorption.

The powder is hygroscopic, so it clumps quickly when it is exposed to damp air. If caking occurs slightly, mild sifting restores flowability without affecting fibre structure. Store away from strong-odor things since the powder can absorb volatiles.

For mass production, install dehumidification systems in ingredient storage facilities. By rotating stock on a first-in, first-out basis you are always using stuff within its best freshness period.

Quality Assurance and Compliance

Your supply chain quality requirements need to be consistent. We are certified by internationally recognised organisations for conformity with FDA GRAS Status, EU Novel Food laws and Codex Alimentarius requirements. Traceability methods follow each batch from the sourcing of raw materials to the final packaging.

Our manufacturing facility is GMP compliant with specific production areas for allergen-free processing. Validation studies show heat stability, pH tolerance levels and compatibility with major culinary ingredients . If you would like to see full technical documentation including Certificates of Analysis, allergies declarations and kosher/halal certifications please contact us.

Our food safety management procedures are verified by third-party agencies through regular audits. This dedication to transparency allows you to label items with confidence for health-conscious consumers in regulated areas.

FAQ

Q: How does inulin content affect product functionality?

A: Higher inulin percentages (≥90%) provide maximum fiber fortification and prebiotic effects. Standard inulin (average DP 10-12) enables great texture modification, while shorter-chain oligofructose (DP <10) produces better sweetness and solubility for beverage applications.

Q: Is your extract stable in acidic formulations?

A: Inulin is stable when processed at high temperature and neutral pH. Inulin chains may hydrolyse to fructose when exposed to pH <4 and heat for extended time. Process validation is suggested for acidic beverages so as to retain the integrity of fibre.

Q: What’s the suggested dosage to avoid gastric discomfort?

A: GRAS, but may cause bloating owing to fast fermentation if taken in excess (>15-20g per day). Develop products with 5-10g per serving to satisfy consumer tolerance and provide functional benefits.

Q: Is it clean label and natural?

A: Definitely. No chemicals are used in our physical water extraction procedure. You can call it “Chicory Root Fiber,” “Inulin” or “Chicory Extract” while promoting 100% plant-based, natural and non-GMO positioning.

Q: How do you prevent powder caking during shipping?

A: We employ multiple layers of packing with moisture-barrier liners and we recommend that you immediately reseal the product after opening. Our logistics partners have temperature-controlled transport to assist in limiting humidity exposure during travel.
