Sosa Oligofructose is a highly soluble, mildly sweet prebiotic fiber derived from chicory root. Designed for modern pastry and nutritional applications, it functions as a low-calorie sugar substitute that also enhances texture and fiber content in your creations. With 30–50% the sweetness of sugar and excellent cold solubility, it can be used in a wide range of baked goods, frozen desserts, bars, and beverages.

Oligofructose helps retain moisture, prevent crystallization, and add crispness—especially in low-fat or reduced-sugar recipes. It also works as a natural binder in cereal bars and granola formulations. Its versatility makes it a favourite among pastry chefs, product developers, and health-conscious creators alike.

Oligofructose vs. Inulin: What's the Difference?

While both oligofructose and inulin are dietary fibers derived from chicory root, they serve slightly different functions. Oligofructose consists of shorter fructose chains, making it more soluble and slightly sweet—ideal for sugar replacement and texture improvement.

Inulin, on the other hand, contains longer chains and is virtually non-sweet. It’s best suited for fat replacement, fiber enrichment, and building body in dairy-free or low-fat products. When a light sweetness and smooth solubility are needed—especially in cold applications—oligofructose is the better choice.
