How does FS2 differ from other low viscosity water soluble dietary fibers?
Fibersol-2 is typically 90+% dietary fiber as manufactured and few other ingredients come close to near 100% dietary fiber on a dry basis. As such, the “sugar” level in Fibersol-2 is ~ 2% which makes Fibersol-2 perfect for sugar-modified foods including true sugar-free foods (< 0.5 g total "sugars" per serving) and still deliver a high dietary fiber content. Functionally, Fibersol-2 adds virtually no sweetness to foods and is fully stable to acid, heat and all processing conditions. Unlike water soluble dietary fibers that are extracts, Fibersol-2 does not lose it dietary fiber content. Therefore, it also does not "release" or increase the simple sugar content in foods. When dietary fiber is hydrolyzed by process or naturally, foods can fall short of dietary fiber and sugar claims. Nutritionally Fibersol-2 is not totally fermented in the colon thus allowing for slow development and dissipation of developed acid and gas.
