Roquette fibres achieve NutraStrong prebiotic verified certification

Roquette, an ingredients supplier, says its Nutriose soluble fibres, which hold clinical evidence of health benefits, have now also gained NutraStrong Prebiotic Verified product certification from SGS Nutrasource. This recognition reinforces Roquette’s commitment to science-backed nutrition, according to the company.

NutraStrong Prebiotic Verified, which is provided by the third-party certification body SGS NutraSource, is an programme that validates the efficacy of prebiotic ingredients. By establishing clear benchmarks regarding manufacturing quality, label compliance and testing protocols, it safeguards against misleading claims and ensures that only science-based products earn its seal of approval.

Roquette’s Nutriose FM 06, Nutriose FB 06, and Nutriose FM 15S soluble fibres were found to meet stringent criteria set by SGS Nutrasource in quality manufacturing and science-based claims through clinical evidence to support prebiotic function.

“We are proud to announce that our Nutriose soluble fibre ingredients have achieved NutraStrong Prebiotic Verified certification,” said Iva François, global product marketing leader for fibres at Roquette. “With proven prebiotic effect, the fibres offer our customers a science-backed solution for gut health and overall well-being. This certification illustrates the high standard of our quality and scientific evidence, and further underlines our dedication to delivering innovative prebiotic ingredients that our customers and consumers can trust.”

Nutriose is a range of non-GMO corn or wheat soluble fibres with clinically proven health benefits and excellent digestive tolerance. With a neutral taste, solubility and process stability, if offers easy integration across food and beverages applications, without altering original tastes or textures, according to Roquette.

Research shows that Nutriose promotes beneficial bacteria in the gut and modulates the gut environment. It has also demonstrated microbiota-related health benefits such as blood glucose management, satiety, weight management and sustained energy release. More recent studies demonstrate initial evidence around immune health and mental wellbeing.

Consumers are increasingly interested in fibres and prebiotics in food and beverages, largely due to their associated gut health benefits.
