The Supplant Company pioneered a novel category of food ingredients: sugars derived from plant fiber. Their flagship product, Supplant™ sugars from fiber, represents an innovative blend of sugars naturally present in plant fiber. This unique composition allows for the creation of familiar treats that maintain their expected appearance, texture, and taste. A key advantage of Supplant™ sugars from fiber is its fiber-based origin, resulting in lower calorie content, a reduced glycemic response compared to glucose, and prebiotic properties. The production process involves upcycling agricultural byproducts. For instance, in the case of corn, the sugars are extracted from the cob rather than the kernel. Similarly, with wheat and rice, the straw, not the grain, serves as the source. These fiber-rich components of crops are readily available in substantial quantities but are typically excluded from the conventional food supply chain.
