Inulin’s savory application includes meat, pasta, noodles, ready meals, soups and sauces.

Meat - Consumers increasingly want healthy, convenient, safe meat products. Inulin brings a pleasant fat-mimicking mouthfeel and a firmer texture to fat-reduced processed meats. And inulin also provides extra dietary fiber and promotes a healthy balance of bacteria in the gut.

Pasta / Noodles - Pasta is a traditional product. Inulin makes it possible to easily increase the fiber content of pasta products without affecting the traditional taste and texture. Unlike wholemeal pasta, which looks and tastes entirely different. But the benefits of inulin don’t stop at fiber – it also extends the shelf life of filled pasta and acts as a water binder, providing a creamy, tender filling.
Because noodles are a popular staple food, particularly in Asia, they provide an excellent opportunity to promote a healthier lifestyle by increasing the intake of dietary fiber. And also by helping to control body weight in the population. Sensus can help you to develop fiber-enriched noodles that also have a prebiotic effect.

Soups and sauces - Inulin can enrich the fiber content of soups, sauces and seasonings. It can also be used to replace sugar in ‘red’ sauces and to reduce the fat content of ‘white’ sauces.

Ready meals - Ready meals can be fortified with inulin as source of fiber or as prebiotic. Inulin can also be used for technological reasons, as water binder or fat replacer.
