phytaFIBER®

phytaFIBER® raw material comes from GMO-free and Organicallycultivated red seaweed Gracilariopsis longissima.
Gracilariopsis longissima (formerly Gracilaria verrucosa) - also called “ogonori” is a common edible seaweed that has been consumed as food in Asia, especially Japan and the Philippines. Many other countries process this red seaweed to obtain the soluble matter which is agar-agar, as the thickening or gelling agent and removes the remaining part.

Java Biocolloid’s Research and Development team maximized the potential of Gracilariopsis longissima by using its insoluble matter as a source of dietary fiber as well as its soluble matter as a source of hydrocolloid.
