American agribusiness Cargill is investing $45 million to open a new production unit for soluble fibers used in sugar reduction applications at its Wroclaw, Poland manufacturing site, the company announced in a recent release. The new asset will enable the firm to enter the European soluble fiber market. “Unlike most soluble fibers currently available, our new offerings were specifically designed to address the unique challenges facing food manufacturers as they aim to improve the nutritional profiles of their products, with fewer calories and less sugars,” Manuj Khanna, business development manager, Fibers for Cargill, said in a statement. “Our soluble fibers shine in these complex applications, providing great performance in terms of taste, appearance, digestive tolerance and mouthfeel – all critical to consumer satisfaction.”
