A new potato-based resistant starch will help manufacturers increase fiber content in their product, while reducing carbohydrate levels. MGP Ingredients Inc.'s MGPI FiberStar™ 80 ST delivers a minimum 80% of total dietary fiber. Like FiberStar 70™, its water-holding capacity is significantly lower than fiber sources like wheat bran. Both of these resistant starches possess clean flavor, are extremely white in color, and impart a smooth, creamy texture in contrast to many traditional fibers. Depending on their level of inclusion in food formulations, each can provide finished product claims such as “Good Source of Fiber,” or “High Source of Fiber.” MGP Ingredients Inc., Steve Pickman, 913-367-1480, stevep@mgpingredients.com, www.midwestgrain.com
