What it is

Vegetable fiber and starch are components derived from plants, typically from grains, fruits, or vegetables. They are processed to isolate these carbohydrates, which can then be used in various food applications. The specific source and processing method can influence the final properties of the ingredient.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use vegetable fiber and starch as thickeners, stabilizers, and texturizers in a wide range of foods. They can improve mouthfeel, prevent separation, and add bulk. Common uses include baked goods, dairy products, sauces, and processed meats.

Health notes

Vegetable fiber and starch are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of dietary carbohydrates. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various forms of dietary fiber and starch. Evidence suggests that dietary fiber can play a role in digestive health.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Gluten may be present if derived from wheat or barley, but is typically removed in highly purified starches.
