Sensus. Making inulin work for you.

Sensus is a successful supplier to the global food industry of inulin, a natural ingredient that contributes significantly to the development and positioning of healthy food products. We achieve this success by excellent value chain management, from farmer to customer, and by putting into action our knowledge of products and applications for our customers in the food and beverage industry.

Consumers are increasingly aware that their daily diet does not include all required nutrients. However, they tend to be unwilling to change their eating habits and instead look for products that offer these additional benefits.

Inulin, or chicory fiber, is an excellent soluble dietary fiber that promotes digestive health by enriching the fiber content of food. It also has a prebiotic effect, stimulating the production of beneficial bacteria in the colon. And because inulin has a low caloric value and promotes satiety, it can make a major contribution to weight management. It even boosts calcium absorption, resulting in improved bone health. Lastly, inulin can be used to replace sugar and fat while improving taste and mouthfeel.

Sensus produces the innovative food ingredients Frutafit^® inulin and Frutalose^® oligofructose. Processed from natural chicory, these are prebiotic, soluble dietary fibers with texturizing properties and a neutral to sweet taste.  For manufacturers this chicory fiber is the perfect solution for developing health-giving, tasty and nutritious products.
