What it is

Soluble fiber is a type of dietary fiber that dissolves in water to form a gel-like substance. It is found naturally in foods like oats, beans, apples, and citrus fruits. Industrially, it can be extracted from sources such as chicory root or corn.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add soluble fiber to foods to increase their fiber content and improve texture. It can act as a thickener and emulsifier, contributing to a smoother mouthfeel. It is commonly found in snack bars, breakfast cereals, baked goods, and beverages.

Health notes

Soluble fiber is recognized as a beneficial component of the diet. The FDA considers it a dietary fiber and allows health claims linking its consumption to a reduced risk of heart disease when part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated dietary fibers, generally recognizing their role in digestive health. Evidence suggests soluble fiber can help manage blood sugar levels and cholesterol in some individuals.

Allergen info

Soluble fiber is not typically derived from major allergens. However, if it is extracted from sources like wheat or oats, cross-contamination with gluten could be a concern for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
