Inufib is a natural, organic, soluble, dietary fiber that comes from the agave plant. Due to its nutritional and functional properties Inufib is rising as a “must have” ingredient in the food industry.
You can find Inufib on labels as agave fiber, agave inulin, inulin, prebiotic fiber or fructans.
“Fiber is the second most chosen functional ingredient of interest for consumers, slightly behind protein”.
INUFIB not only meets consumer demand — it gives your brand a competitive edge.
From the rich volcanic soil of Mexico, INUFIB is born — the first organically certified inulin sourced from agave. Our process ensures full traceability from field to final product, combining tradition, science, and sustainability. INUFIB remains one of the few organic prebiotic fibers produced in a fully responsible and transparent way
INUFIB is produced under the strictest international standards, ensuring exceptional purity, safety, and traceability. Certified by several International standards our inulin is not only safe it’s sustainable, reliable, and fully aligned with global quality requirements for the food and nutrition industry.
Prebiotics like INUFIB selectively feed beneficial gut bacteria — supporting digestion, immunity, and overall wellness. Unlike probiotics, they’re not living organisms, but powerful dietary fibers that nurture your microbiome from within.
Boost fiber, cut calories, and improve label claims
all with one clean-label ingredient.
INUFIB is a soluble fiber with non-digestible carbohydrates that can replace up to 30% of sugars and fats in various food applications. It allows manufacturers to improve nutritional profiles, reduce caloric content, and meet clean-label expectations — without compromising taste or texture.
INUFIB also contributes to product stability, enhances fiber content, and positively impacts appearance and rheology — making it a multifunctional tool for innovation in modern food formulation.
Nearly 2 in 3 consumers say that clean labels influence their purchasing decisions.
INUFIB helps manufacturers reduce sugars and fats, increase fiber, and simplify ingredients — leading to better Nutri-Score ratings, enhanced transparency, and a cleaner, more attractive label.
Have questions about INUFIB’s composition, safety, or usage?
Here you’ll find detailed answers to the most common inquiries from product developers, formulators, and quality control teams.
1. What is the pH range of INUFIB?
The pH typically ranges from 4.0 to 7.0.
2. What is the Water Activity (Aw) of INUFIB, and is it microbiologically safe?
The Aw is 0.201, measured under NMX-F-NORMEX-2008. Since it is well below 0.600, microbial growth is not possible. The product is microbiologically safe and complies with all technical
specifications.
3. Is INUFIB safe for use in food?
Yes, INUFIB has GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status and is widely accepted without restrictions.
4. What is the typical tolerable intake of INUFIB?
Tolerance may vary among individuals, but the generally recommended daily intake is approximately 12 grams (pure inulin).
5. What are the bulk and tapped densities of INUFIB?
Bulk density: 0.627 g/cm³
Tapped density: 0.682 g/cm³
6. What is the average degree of polymerization (DP) of INUFIB?
The average chain length ranges between 14 and 18 DP.
7. Is INUFIB highly soluble?
Yes, INUFIB is highly soluble, even in cold water.
8. Is INUFIB suitable for special diets (gluten-free, lactose-free, vegetarian, vegan, halal, kosher)?
Yes, INUFIB is suitable for all of these dietary requirements.
9. What is the difference between IMO and INUFIB?
IMO (Isomalto-oligosaccharide) is a mixture of short-chain carbohydrates, primarily industrially produced. It may spike blood glucose levels and can cause digestive discomfort in some individuals.
INUFIB, on the other hand, is a naturally occurring fiber extracted from agave, composed of both oligosaccharides and polysaccharides. It offers key advantages:
• Proven prebiotic effect
• No blood glucose spike
• Lower caloric value (2.04 kcal/g vs. 4 kcal/g for sucrose)
10. Is INUFIB certified organic?
Yes, it is organically certified.
11. Does INUFIB contain GMOs?
No, it is GMO-free and certified accordingly.
12. Are pesticides or chemical fertilizers used in agave cultivation?
No, agave grows naturally without the need for pesticides or fertilizers.
13. Is agave cultivation disruptive to soil?
No. Agave is hand-planted, and harvesting occurs only once every 4 to 10 years without disrupting the soil.
14. How is agave harvested?
Agave is harvested manually, and only minimal energy (truck transport) is used.
