“PenFibe RS is a unique ingredient that delivers both health and functional benefits, in addition to being non-allergenic and maintaining a neutral taste and smooth texture. It’s a great addition to our portfolio of products,"said John Randall, president, Penford Food Ingredients.
Recommended applications include bakery products, gluten-free food products, sheeted baked and extruded snacks, breakfast cereals, nutrition bars, vegetable sauces, pasta and noodles, yogurt and pet foods.
