Organic Powder Agave Fructans

Agave Inuline

Blue Agave Sweetener Products

ORIGIN

The Agave fructans obtained from the Tequilana Weber (Blue agave variety) are a soluble fiber and natural prebiotic, ideally used as an ingredient in food products enriched with fiber,

RAW MATERIAL
Tequilana Weber Blue Agave

PREBIOTIC EFFECT PROPERTIES
Due to its Carbon 2 anomeric configuration, fructans resist hydrolysis by digestive enzymes, which are specific for glycosides links; therefore, the fructans are identified as non-digestible oligosaccharides by our organism,

Due to the minimal hydrolysis that fructans suFer from the time they are ingested until they reach the large bowel, the carbohydrates remain intact through the digestive system until they reach the colon, Being a selective sustrate for a limited number of good bacteria for the colon (bifidobacteria and lactobacilli), its growth is stimulated and therefore is able to alter the colonic microflora to a potentially healthier population,

BIOAVAILABILITY

lncreses the bioavaliability and thus, calcium and magnesium absorption, resulting in clear health benefits, like increasing bones strenght and reducing osteoporosis development risks,

SOLUBLE FIBER
kiquid Agave fructans are highly soluble in water, so it can contribute to improved digestion and lower blood cholesterol,

MINIMAL CALORIC CONTENT
Due to the fact that agave fructans is non-digestible and it only has 1 - 2 Kcal/gr, it is highly used in low calorie and supplement foods formulation,

ATTRIBUTES TO BE USED AS A FOOD INGREDIENT

PRODUCTION PROCESS

The juice from the Blue Agave is extracted from the Tequilana Weber by a diFuser method, then clarified by filtration until a clear and solids-free agave syrup is obtai- ned, lt is then concentrated by evaporation at 62º Brix, to be finally dried in a spray dryer and packaged as liquid agave fructans,

SOME OTHER PROPERTIES

Agave fructans may be used as a food ingredient , as raw material or just for direct human intake, Body absorption percentage is minimal, reaching the colon intact, where used as a substrate by the Bifidobacterium,

United Nations Organization for Food and Agriculture (FAO) and the World Health Organization (OMS), recommend a daily intake of 25 grams of diet fiber (source¦ https¦//www,gob,mx/salud),so it is recommen- ded not to exceed this dosage, considering the side eFects, like flatulence and swollen bowel due to prebiotic eFect,

kiquid Agave fructans may be used in high-temperature formulations (180 to 350ºC), at a pH close to the neutral and low water activity for long periods of time and low temperatures, without changing its food-safe properties, On the contrary, if exposed to high temperatures with high water activity and pH far from neutral, agave fructans undergo a hydrolysis process, diminishing its prebiotic eFect, lt is considered a safe product, There is no reference for letal dosis or toxicity grade,

STORAGE CONDITIONS

Store in a fresh and dry place at an ideal temperature of 25ºC, ideal relative humidity lower than 60%, Must be stored without any structural damage to its primary package.

SAFETY

This is an Organic & Non-toxic product, lf consumed in excess, it can have a laxative and flatulence eFect, Avoid rough manipulation as it can cause the product to become volatile, Make sure the packaging is intact, if the safety seal is tampered do not consume the product.
