Selective plant fibres

COEI-1-FIBVEG Selective plant fibers

  1. Object, origin and scope of application

 

Selective plant fibers come from the edible parts of certain plants, generally of cereal origin. The plant fibers undergo series of mechanical treatments and extractions that concentrate the active complex without damaging the structure of the plant fiber. The objective is to increase the adsorption capacity.
