Modern formulations ask more of every ingredient. Exposure to extreme heat, low pH, and intense processing conditions may reduce ingredient efficacy before products reach consumers.
The market is currently faced with two contrasting issues: fairy dusting and overdosing. Some brands make on-pack claims without using efficacious levels, while others add excess amounts to offset ingredient breakdown during processing. A stable prebiotic fiber eliminates both, enabling confident on-pack claims and product performance.
Why Stability Matters When Formulating with Fiber
Prebiotic fibers are only effective if they remain intact from production through consumption. When fibers degrade during processing, they can lose their functional prebiotic benefits and break down into simple sugars before they ever reach the consumer. This is a common challenge that brands and product developers face. Demand for reliable, high-performing ingredients is growing, and we’re here to help with a prebiotic fiber ingredient that maintains functional integrity and offers peace of mind.
Arrabina®: Tough Where It Counts
At COMET, we take functionality seriously every step of the way. That’s why we test it through even the most extreme conditions. Arrabina delivers consistent prebiotic benefits by remaining stable under conditions that challenge many other prebiotic fibers.
Stable in UHT Conditions
Arrabina maintains its structural integrity through ultra-high temperature treatment.
Stable Under Retort Conditions
Arrabina continues to outperform other commonly used prebiotic fibers even after exposure to the heat and pressure of retort processing.
Stable in acidic environments
Low pH has minimal impact on Arrabina where other prebiotic fibers completely degrade.
Confidence All the Way Through
Arrabina’s ability to withstand demanding processing conditions means formulators can focus on building great products. From shelf-stable beverages to high-heat applications, it delivers prebiotic benefits that hold up through formulation and consumption.
Because if a prebiotic fiber doesn’t survive the process, it can’t serve its purpose.
