Floracia TM is a synergy of from acacia and fructo-oligosaccharide.
Floracia TM is a result of a synergistic combination of two dietary fibers: long-chain acacia polysaccharides and short-chain fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS).
The FOS are soluble fibers used in the ascending colon by bifidobacteria, compared to acacia which is fermented in the transverse and descending colon. This specific combination delivers a higher prebiotic effect compared to FOS or acacia gum taken separately. Indeed, this improves intestinal transit, stimulates the immune system.
Obtained through an innovative co-drying process, Floracia TM is slightly sweet, non-viscous and highly soluble perfectly suitable for many applications.

Nexira offers its Thixogum TM range of all-natural hydrocolloids to optimize the texture and organoleptic experience of your products while meeting the expectations of consumers looking for naturalness and plant-based ingredients.
NEW ! Thixogum TM G, the ideal clean-label stabilizer for vegetable drinks
Plant-based drink formulations can be challenging due to the need to emulsify and stabilize fat, suspend insoluble particles (pulp, minerals, proteins…), and build texture/mouthfeel.
Thixogum TM G is the high performance union of a natural emulsifier (acacia gum) and a natural stabilizer (gellan). It ensures the successful development of plant-based beverages, and fulfills consumers’ expectations for appealing taste & texture.
Thanks to its suspensoïd properties, Thixogum TM G is able to stabilize insoluble ingredients with minimal impact to viscosity. It is a perfect stabilizer for dairy alternatives. It can be used in beverages made up of insoluble compounds to suspend particles such as in fruit juices to maintain a homogenous suspension of fruit pulp.
Thixogum TM G won the World Beverage Innovation Awards 2019.
Judges declared that Thixogum TM G is “an essential innovation for the growing vegetable drinks market” and “A complete solution for vegetable drinks”.
With their distinctive properties, our Thixogum TM solutions are dedicated to a large array of applications.

Nexira guarantees the highest quality of acacia gum thanks to its continuous presence in Africa for over 125 years and strong partnerships in acacia gum producing countries.
Fibregum TM is obtained from carefully selected acacia gum sap exuded from the stems and branches of acacia trees. Fibregum TM offers a guaranteed minimum of 90% soluble fiber* on a dry weight basis.
Fibregum TM is a non-digestible, high molecular weight polysaccharide. It is composed of a proteinaceous core and associated polysaccharidic fractions.
Fibregum TM exerts a high intestinal tolerance with excellent digestive properties
Nexira’s study has demonstrated that the following complementary activities may help for a complete reinforcement of the gut barrier:
Prebiotic effect
Gut impermeability restoration
Fibregum TM is a non-digestible carbohydrate with a glycemic index close to zero.
A diet rich in soluble dietary fiber such as Fibregum TMmay help to extend the feeling of fullness after meals, for a healthy control of bodyweight.
In the human mouth, Fibregum TM resists to hydrolysis by saliva and the local flora making it non cariogenic (maintenance of tooth mineralization).
