No unpleasant side effects
Even when used in large amounts, SolaGrain produces virtually no unpleasant side effects such as bloating or gas, a key advantage over conventional single fiber ingredients.
SolaGrain increases batch yields
When used in certain recipes, SolaGrain can significantly increase batch yields, allowing manufacturers to lower costs considerably.
Increased water content
SolaGrain can bind up to three times its weight in fluid, depending on the recipe.
Handling / Storage / Shelf Life
SolaGrain comes as a powder in 20kg multi-ply bags. It requires dry storage and has a one year shelf-life.

Acid stability
SolaGrain does not change its structure or its effectiveness when exposed to compounds with a pH of between 2 and 8.
Versatility/ Manufacturing Processes
SolaGrain high versatility makes it unique. It can be added in large amounts to almost any food product without altering the recipe. In some products it can even improve texture and consistency, serve as a fat substitute and increase batch yields. In addition, it can improve a product's break resistance and shelf-life.
