Extrudates

SANACEL^® enhances the quality features of extrudates

Powdered celluloses (E460ii) and dietary fibres from wheat, oat, apple and potato allow a high dietary fibre intake by enriching extruded products with dietary fibres.

SANACEL^® regulates the intestinal flora and supports the human digestion. Dietary fibres with soluble and unsoluble parts e.g. from apple and potato fibres additionally have a prebiotic effect. Dietary fibres are not only used for dietary fibre enrichment, they also bring advantages for production, storage and transportation of semi-finished and finished extrudates. The application of SANACEL^® fibres for the production of extruded products results in a homogenous pore structure, a smooth surface, reduced breaking and abrasion as well as a crispy and crunchy texture.

Nutritional advantages of SANACEL^® dietary fibres in extruded products

• calorie reduction („light“-products)
• customized and target-oriented application e.g. oat fibre in gluten free products
• stating of “Added value” possible by using “Health Claims” of the EFSA

Technological advantages of SANACEL^® dietary fibres in extruded products:

• improved moisture binding within the extrudate
• facilitates the homogenisation of fat-containing and hygroscopic products
• equal pores
• increased breaking stability
• extrudate remains longer crispy e.g. if milk is added
• steady and easy dosing with screw conveyor

Depending on the kind and target of the application SANACEL^® dietary fibre concentrates with a fibre length between 35 – 80 µm are used.
