Now that fibremaxxing has officially entered your vocabulary (no need to thank us)...
let’s talk about the difference between the two… because it’s not all just fibre and vibes 👀

Understanding the type of fibre you’re working with can make a real difference, both nutritionally and functionally.

Here's an analogy to help you remember:

🧹The broom vs. the sponge 🧽

🧹Insoluble Fibre = the broom 🧹

Think of insoluble fibre as a broom. It can’t be digested by the body, so instead it sweeps straight through your system. Helping to move food and waste along more quickly 💩
👉 Great for keeping things regular and preventing that “sluggish” feeling.

🧽Soluble Fibre = the sponge 🧽

Soluble fibre dissolves in the water in your digestive system. It slows things down, helping to support digestion, balance blood sugar levels, and even reduce cholesterol.
👉 Think of it as soaking things up and keeping everything running smoothly.

Put them together and you have the gut dream team - one keeps things moving and the other keeps things balanced ❤️

📈Fibremaxxing - A Trend Worth Keeping !

If you're chronically online, you've probably come across the term 'Fibremaxxing'

If not...don't worry. We'll get you up to speed.

🪩Fibremaxxing is the latest viral trend on social media, encouraging people to add more fibre in their meals and diets. With the government recommending around 30g of fibre per day, and most adults only reaching around 20g, it's clear there's a gap to close. Maybe it's finally time for a fibre to have its moment in the spotlight🪩

But this trend goes far deeper than a social media craze. A high-fibre diet has been known to lower the risks of bowel cancer, heart disease, stroke and T2 Diabetes🧑‍⚕️. Even more impressive, soluble fibres help support gut health by feeding the beneficial bacteria that keep your digestive system thriving.

Last week we headed to Aroma Chef in Lancaster for a team lunch 😋

A great chance to switch off from emails and enjoy plenty of noodles together 🍜

We were missing Charlie and Gordon from the London office!
Our MD also joined… though judging by the photo, only partially (not his head)😄

⭐Salt reduction is one of the most challenging areas of food reformulation, impacting taste, texture, shelf life, and ultimately consumer trust.⭐

That’s why we created the Lehmann Salt Reduction Calculator: a free tool to help R&D teams move from challenge to solution, faster.

With it, you can quickly:

🧂Estimate the nutritional impact of your target sodium reduction
🧂Understand HFSS compliance in your current and reformulated sodium amounts
🧂Explore ingredient strategies tailored to your category

Part of our wider Salt Reduction Toolkit, it’s built on real formulation science, with insights across bakery, meat, snacks, and more.

Give it a try, or reach out to our technical team for support with your next project.

🐝 World Bee Day

Today we recognise the critical role bees (and all pollinators) play in our ecosystems and global food security. These small but mighty workers are essential to keeping our planet healthy and our food systems thriving.

🌍 Did you know?

There are over 270 species of bee in the UK alone
Nearly 90% of wild plants and 75% of the world’s leading crops depend on animal pollination

From the fruits we eat to the ingredients we rely on every day, pollinators are at the heart of it all.
Protecting bees means protecting biodiversity, supporting sustainable agriculture, and safeguarding the future of our food supply.

🌼 Today is a reminder that even the smallest contributors can make the biggest impact.

🌽 Modified Starches: The Smart Choice for Performance Driven Formulations

When standard starches fail under pressure, modified starches step up. Delivering the consistency, resilience, and texture your products demand. Derived from non‑GMO waxy corn, they are engineered to withstand heat, acid, shear, and freeze‑thaw cycles, ensuring reliable performance from process to shelf-life.

✅ Why make the switch?
Precise texture control from smooth, creamy viscosity to glossy finishes
Exceptional process stability. No syneresis, no breakdown
Enhanced freeze-thaw resistance and extended shelf-life
Consistent results across even the most demanding manufacturing conditions

Available as cook-up (Granular) for heated systems or pregelatinised (Pre-Gel) for cold applications, modified starches offer flexibility across a wide range of formulations. With options such as E1412, E1422, and E1442, they provide both functional performance and regulatory clarity.

💡 The real advantage? Reduced waste, improved batch consistency, and a superior end-product that meets both technical and consumer expectations. Whether you’re optimising sauces, ready meals, or desserts, the right starch can transform your formulation.

🍬 The Sticky Truth About Sweets 🍬

We all love sweets… but no one loves having to wrestle one out of the packaging, losing half of it to the wrapper along the way. And just when you think you’ve reached the enjoyable part, you’re suddenly chewing for so long you start questioning your life choices.

Not so great for the consumer experience..

✅ The Smarter (Less Sticky) Solution: Sugar Esters

Used in confectionery formulations, sugar esters help by:

🍭 Reducing surface stickiness, so sweets release cleanly from wrappers
🍭 Inhibiting separation of oil, keeping textures uniform
🍭 Inhibiting the growth of sugar crystals, maintaining smoothness and improving shelf-life
🍭 Reducing the viscosity of heated dough, improving flow and processing

🏆 THE RESULT?!
🎖️ Easier wrapping
🎖️ Better texture
🎖️ More consistent quality
🎖️ Reduced stickiness > no more sweets clinging to teeth
🎖️ Better texture, no jaw workout required

🍭 Less Stick. Less Strain. More Enjoyment.

From chewy sweets and gummies to toffees and soft confections, sugar esters help deliver the indulgent experience consumers expect without the mess, the struggle, or the sore jaw.

Because sweets should be a pleasure…

Not a workout.

Prebiotic Fibres: A Core Ingredient for Gut‑Health Formulation

As gut health becomes a key product focus, prebiotic fibres are increasingly valued by formulators for their ability to support digestive health while enhancing overall product nutrition. Without turning products into niche or “functional‑only” offerings.

Prebiotic fibres work by selectively feeding beneficial gut bacteria, helping to support a healthy microbiome through everyday foods and beverages, not just supplements.

Why Prebiotic Fibres Matter to Formulators..

🍎Enable fibre enrichment and sugar‑reduction strategies
🍎Support digestive health positioning without compromising taste
🍎Contribute to mouthfeel, texture, and satiety depending on fibre type
🍎Versatile across applications including beverages, bars, bakery, dairy alternatives, and confectionery

Commonly Used Prebiotic Fibre Sources..

🌿 Fructooligosaccharides (FOS)
A low calorie prebiotic fibre with mild sweetness. FOS is ideal for sugar‑reduction strategies and delivers digestive health benefits with minimal impact on flavour or texture.

🍯 Agave Inulin Powder
Derived from agave, this soluble prebiotic fibre offers excellent functionality and has a mildly sweet taste. Agave inulin supports fibre fortification, improves mouthfeel, and integrates seamlessly into a wide range of food and beverage formulations.

🫶Formulation Considerations🫶
Successful use of prebiotic fibres depends on careful dose management, application selection, and sensory testing to balance digestive benefits with consumer comfort and product enjoyment.
