What is it?

Long-length bamboo fibre is a natural dietary fibre extracted from the bamboo plant. It is typically obtained through mechanical process that break down the bamboo stalks into long, fibrous strands. It is characterised by these relatively long fibre strands, which distinguish it from shorter or more finely processed fibres.

Characteristics: Long-length bamboo fibre is usually light in colour, with a neutral taste, allowing it to be incorporated into various products without significantly altering their appearance or taste.

Functionalities

  • Textural Enhancement: Long-length bamboo fibre can improve the texture of food products by adding bulk and a fibrous, chewy consistency. This is beneficial in products like bread, cereals, and meat substitutes.
  • Moisture Retention: Bamboo fibre’s ability to retain moisture can help maintain the freshness and extend the shelf life of baked goods and other food products.
  • Dietary Fibre Source: Bamboo fibre is high in dietary fibre, which aids in digestion, helps regulate blood sugar levels, and supports overall gut health.
  • Water Binding: In meat products and plant-based alternatives, bamboo fibre can bind water, enhancing juiciness and texture while reducing cooking losses.
  • Viscosity and Thickening: Bamboo fibre can help achieve desired thickness and stability in liquid or semi-liquid products like sauces, soups, and dressings.
  • Fat Mimetic: Bamboo fibre can mimic the texture and mouthfeel of fats, allowing for reduced-fat formulations without compromising on taste or texture.
  • Clean Label Ingredient
