Breads

Naturally fibrous Solka-Floc®, JustFiber®, and NutraFiber® brands powdered cellulose can enhance the structure of food in many ways. In bread products, International Fiber Corporation's powdered celluloses can increase the overall fiber content, create a more consistent texture, and provide caloric density control.

Depending on the fiber length, powdered cellulose can retain about 3.5 to 10 times its weight in water. In bread products, Solka-Floc®, JustFiber®, and NutraFiber® can retain moisture through absorption. This can lead to extended shelf life.

Due to its nutritional nature (insoluble fiber content of more than 99% dwb), Solka-Floc®, JustFiber®, and NutraFiber® are considered to contribute zero calories. It is a white, flavorless, and odorless powder, making it especially suitable as a non-caloric bulking agent in numerous food products.
