High Fibre claim in cereal product development

Cereal products can be a great source of dietary fibre, essential for maintaining digestive health, regulating blood sugar levels, and promoting feelings of fullness. Here are some strategies for developing cereal products with a high-fibre claim:

Use whole grains:
Whole grains such as oats, barley, and brown rice are high in fibre and can be used to make cereal products such as granola or oatmeal. Whole grains contain all parts of the grain kernel, including the bran, germ, and endosperm, making them a good fibre source.
Add fibre-rich ingredients:
Adding fibre-rich ingredients such as chia seeds, flax seeds, or psyllium husk to cereal products can increase their fibre content while adding texture and flavour. These ingredients can be added to granola, smoothie bowls, or even used to make high-fibre crackers.
Include fruits and vegetables:
Adding fruits and vegetables such as berries, apples, or pumpkin puree to cereal products can add natural sweetness and fibre. This strategy can be used in baked oatmeal, fruit, and yoghurt parfait recipes.
Use high-fibre sweeteners:
Natural sweeteners such as dates, raisins, or honey can add sweetness to cereal products while increasing their fibre content. These sweeteners can be used in homemade granola bars or trail mix recipes.

When developing cereal products with a high fibre claim, it’s vital to ensure that the product contains at least 3 grams per serving, the minimum amount required to make a fibre claim. Additionally, be mindful of portion sizes and avoid consuming excessive amounts of cereal products, as even high-fibre foods can contribute to overall calorie intake if consumed in excess.
