Olifructine™ Organic Agave Fructans

Naturally Branched. Functionally Versatile.

Organic agave fructans designed to support fibre enrichment, texture development and formulation flexibility across food and beverage applications.

THE INGREDIENT

A Different Approach to Inulin

Olifructine™ is an organic agave fructan ingredient derived from Agave tequilana Weber var. Azul. It belongs to the inulin-type fructan family and provides a source of soluble dietary fibre for food and beverage formulation.

Unlike conventional inulin sources, agave fructans have a naturally branched molecular structure. This structural distinction contributes to a differentiated functional profile for manufacturers exploring fibre enrichment and ingredient reformulation.

Our approach brings together agave-origin ingredients, technical knowledge and industrial supply capabilities.

STRUCTURAL DIFFERENTIATION

The Branched Advantage

Molecular architecture matters. Agave fructans exhibit a naturally branched structure, distinct from the predominantly linear configuration commonly associated with conventional inulin sources.

REFERENCE STRUCTURE

Conventional Inulin

Typically characterised by a predominantly linear fructan structure. Its processing behaviour depends on botanical source, chain-length distribution and formulation conditions.

AGAVE STRUCTURE

Olifructine™ Agave Fructans

Naturally branched inulin-type fructans, offering distinctive structural characteristics relevant to solubility, texture and fibre incorporation in finished products.

TECHNICAL DIFFERENTIATORS

Functional Performance for Modern Formulation

Olifructine™ brings together soluble dietary fibre and technological functionality to support product development across a wide range of industrial applications.
