Actilight Fibre is an oligofructose concentrate (also called fructo-oligosaccharides, or FOS), which is a prebiotic fibre that conforms to the regulatory definition of dietary fibre. Tereos produce the oligofructose in Actilight from sugar beet using a bioconversion process inspired by nature. The fibre is obtained from sugar extracted from sugar beet.
Sustainability Information
Actilight 951S meets the 'bio-based and/or natural products' characteristic since it is produced from beet sugar by an enzymatic process.
Sustainable product
Univar Solutions "sustainable product" designation means we have worked
with supplier partners to review and provide documentation for the following six areas:
bio-based or natural ingredients, product carbon footprints, safer substitutes, circular
ingredients, social, and environmental impact.
Actilight is mainly composed of short chain fructo-oligosaccharides also called scFOS. Several fiber contents are available (85 and 95%). It is a soluble dietary fibre with a slightly sweet taste and prebiotic properties as demonstrated in the scientific literature by many in vitro
in vivo and human studies. ScFOS can be naturally found in numerous fruits and vegetables. Soluble fibres such as Actilight scFOS
are soluble in water; they will bind
dissolve in water and digestive fluids to thicken their viscosity and form gels. They have a high-water retention capacity and have a regulatory role on absorption of many metabolites. They will also act in a gentle and beneficial way on the intestinal transit.
