Beneo™ achieves the feeling of fullness!
With the worldwide obesity crisis reaching an all time high, pressure is on the food industry to react accordingly. A recent human study into satiety and Beneo™ oligofructose looks for ways to combat this.
In Europe alone 24.8% of children aged between 2-15 are overweight. This combined with 30% of adults being insufficiently active has led to a staggering 2-8% of overall health care budgets being spent on obesity related illnesses. ORAFTI’s positive research into satiety hopes to help the food industry develop products that will reduce these statistics.
Results have shown that Beneo™ oligofructose can act as a trigger to limit hunger feelings and regulate energy intake. This scientific breakthrough is set to have major implications for the food industry assisting in the development of products that can not only claim both low fat and low sugar but also satiety – an induced feeling of fullness that can in turn manage bodyweight.
