Between public health issue and consumer trends.
A high intake of dietary fibre has always been associated with a lower risk of mortality and diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity and colon cancer. Dietary guidelines recommend eating fibre-rich foods such as wholegrain cereals and fruit and vegetables. Daily fibre intake recommendations for adults vary from 25 to 35 g/day depending on the European country. Many Europeans do not reach the recommended daily fibre intake, which is undoubtedly a public health problem. Studies also show that consumers are tending towards a holistic vision of health, including a varied and balanced diet to help them age well.
With LifyWheat, fill in the fiber gap!
For over 20 years, Limagrain Ingredients has been committed to developing a white wheat flour that is naturally rich in fibre. LifyWheat is 10 times richer in fibre than traditional flour. The unique feature of LifyWheat is that 80% of the fibre contained in wheat flour is resistant starch, providing nutritional and health benefits for consumers.
Using this wheat flour as a substitute for standard flour means that food products can be enriched with fibre, bridging the gap between recommendations and fibre consumption. The properties of resistant starch help to reduce after-meal blood sugar control. It also has a prebiotic effect on the intestinal microbiota when it reaches the colon, encouraging the growth of beneficial bacteria and thus boosting consumers' intestinal immune system
