Soluble Tapioca Fiber & Non-GMO Soluble Corn Fiber
FiberWorks® Resistant Dextrin
FIBERWORKS® Soluble Fiber is an all-natural, non-GMO soluble dietary fiber available as soluble corn fiber and soluble tapioca fiber, in both powder and syrup, across >70% and >90% grades. Produced from non-GMO corn or tapioca starch through enzymatic hydrolysis (resistant dextrin), FIBERWORKS® delivers a dietary fiber content from 70% to over 90% by traditional AOAC methodology — declared simply as “Soluble Corn Fiber” or “Soluble Tapioca Fiber,” with no E-number.
FIBERWORKS® Soluble Fiber is used to naturally reduce and remove sugars while increasing fiber nutrition, without gastrointestinal discomfort. Fully soluble and heat-stable, it works as a clean-label sugar replacer, sugar reducer, fiber booster and low-calorie bulking agent — improving texture, binding, mouthfeel and body across food, beverage and supplement applications. In powder form, FIBERWORKS® Soluble Corn Fiber and Soluble Tapioca Fiber deliver approximately 60% the sweetness of table sugar, supporting partial sugar replacement.
FIBERWORKS® Soluble Fiber holds FDA GRAS status as a dietary fiber under GRN 1045 and GRN 1133, backed by an FDA “No Questions” letter — meaning it may be declared as dietary fiber on US Nutrition Facts panels, a credential not shared by isomaltooligosaccharide (IMO). Well-tolerated at typical usage levels, FIBERWORKS® is non-GMO, vegan, gluten-free, Halal and Kosher — the ultimate clean-label functional fiber for sugar reduction and fiber enrichment.

Why FiberWorks®?
- True Fiber: Fiberworks® is a true fiber, meaning it meets the definition of dietary fiber and can be tested for as such by labs. This is important because the FDA recently issued new guidance on the definition of dietary fiber, and not all fibers meet the new definition. By using Fiberworks®, formulators can be confident that they are using a true fiber in their products.
- Fiber Fortification: As a high-fiber ingredient, Fiberworks® can be used to increase the fiber content of food and beverage products. This is important because many people do not consume enough fiber in their diets, and fiber is important for digestive health, weight management, and overall health and wellness. By incorporating Fiberworks® into their products, formulators can create healthier products that meet consumer demand for high-fiber foods.
- Sugar Reduction: Fiberworks® can be used as a sugar replacer in all applications, allowing formulators to create healthier products with reduced sugar content, such as ice cream.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is FiberWorks®?
FiberWorks® is a customised resistant dextrin available as soluble corn fiber and soluble tapioca fiber, in both powder and syrup, across >70% and >90% grades. It is used as a binder, sugar replacer and fiber booster in a wide range of applications. Unlike other resistant dextrins, FiberWorks® offers unique water activity control, texture-enhancing properties, a pleasant sweetness profile and is fully soluble and free-flowing.
What's the advantage of using FiberWorks®?
FiberWorks® is mostly used in keto/diet/healthier bars because it doesn't spike insulin levels and contains only a small amount of natural sugar from the fibre (glucose and maltose, no fructose). FiberWorks® is accepted globally as a true dietary fibre source. FiberWorks® does not have any negative impact on the stomach.
How is FiberWorks® labeled?
FiberWorks® is labeled as soluble corn fiber or soluble tapioca fiber, depending on the source you choose. It may also be declared as resistant dextrin. Choose the source that best fits your label and formulation needs.
How is FiberWorks® compared to standard resistant dextrin?
Traditionally, resistant dextrins have some formulation issues and are not as sweet as IMO. FiberWorks® is a custom soluble fibre which has rectified these issues.
How long is FiberWorks®'s shelf life?
FiberWorks® comes in two sources (corn or tapioca), two forms (powder or syrup) and two fiber grades (>70% or >90%). The source affects your label declaration (soluble corn fiber vs soluble tapioca fiber); the form suits either dry blends and bars (powder) or binding and liquid systems (syrup); and the grade sets the dietary fiber content. Powders carry a 36-month shelf life and syrups 24 months.
Can I label my product with “no added sugar” using FiberWorks®?
Using FiberWorks® in your product definitely meets no added sugar as FiberWorks® is fibre, the little sugar that is in these syrups are just natural sugars, like the sugar in a carrot or spinach.
Most importantly FiberWorks® is clean label and not sugar alcohols. We do not recommend sugar alcohols to achieve no/low sugar in your product. The sugar alcohols are not good on the labels and create stomach issues for the consumers. Most of our work with FiberWorks® is getting brands off sugar alcohols and they seem to thrive after that.
How much should we use FiberWorks® in a healthy bar?
Fiberworks® , for your bar's bulk/body, is commonly used from 10% to 30% depending on the formula of your bar.
What ingredients should I use for binding to mimic sugar in a crunchy bar?
For binding to mimic sugar in crunchy bars we recommend Fiberworks® syrup which will work extremely well. Fiberworks® has zero stomach discomfort, and it’s sweetness is perfect and we have managed the aw & viscosity very well on this syrup. And FiberWorks®’s binding performance is very high.
I want to launch a keto/diet/health bar, what are the best functional ingredients to help achieve it?
Many brands use our ingredients to achieve higher health ratings and to achieve the brand claims, whilst driving functionally and quality.
If you are aiming to create a type of keto/diet/health bar, we recommend the following -
- For your bar's bulk/body, Fiberworks® or MetaSweet® , commonly used from 10% to 30% of the bar.
- Now moving onto further improving on the functionality and eating quality of the bar, CapMoist® is really a stellar multi-functional product in your application. You would use approx. 2-5% approximately.
- Another amazing product is FlaxSmooth® powder, it contains zero sugar and the dosage is approx. 0.4%.
Is “soluble tapioca fiber” or “soluble corn fiber” the same as resistant dextrin?
Often, yes—many products marketed as soluble tapioca fiber or soluble corn fiber are forms of resistant dextrin. FiberWorks® can be supplied as tapioca-based or corn-based; choose the source that fits your label and formulation needs.
