When formulating keto-friendly products, the most effective strategy is to replace wheat flour with low-net carb ingredients. Using a combination of our resistant wheat starch, Fibersym®, and wheat protein isolate, Arise® creates a flour that mimics the functionality of wheat flour—but with low net carbs.
Arise wheat protein isolates have a range of elasticity and extensibility to provide precise dough functionality that is required for various food applications and contain fewer carbs than typical vital wheat gluten.
The differences between our Arise® proteins and their functional benefits are described in the MGP information booklet. Let us know if you're interested—we will be happy to share insights and discuss how to tailor this approach to your needs!
Fibersym® is a clinically proven dietary fiber (RS4) made from wheat starch. With 90% total dietary fiber (db.), it allows formulators to boost the fiber content, and lower calories and net carbs while providing desirable starch functionality. This unique ingredient has a neutral flavor, white color, and smooth texture that makes it easy to incorporate.
When considering a keto flour blend, first we need to look at what typical wheat flour is made of. This way we can determine the functional ingredients needed in these keto product applications. Please see the graphic below.
The Fibersym® and Arise® flour combo is the secret behind many successful keto-friendly products. MGP food experts are here to assist you with your keto-friendly formulations.
