What is Vitacel AF 12
Vitacel AF 12 is a finely milled, insoluble plant fibre derived from natural sources and developed to provide reliable functional benefits in modern food formulations. Its neutral taste and colour make it highly versatile, allowing it to integrate seamlessly into a variety of recipes without affecting the final flavour profile.
This ingredient is particularly valued for its water-binding capability, helping to improve yield, extend shelf life, and maintain product freshness. Vitacel AF 12 also contributes to improved mouthfeel and structure, delivering consistent results in both industrial-scale production and smaller batch formulations.
As demand for clean-label and fibre-enriched products continues to grow, Vitacel AF 12 offers a practical solution for manufacturers looking to optimise nutritional positioning while maintaining high product performance. It supports reduced-fat formulations, enhances stability during processing, and helps achieve desirable textural properties without the need for artificial additives.
