Carrot Fiber to Prevent Metabolic and Cardiovascular-Related Diseases
- 技術優勢
- Higher balanced fiber source over other options (>50% by weight soluble and insoluble fibers)Superiorblood glucose control and lower incidence of diabetes when tested in animal models against multiple other leading commercial dietary fibers on market, including cellulose,resistant starch and inulin based productsExertsa protective influence on gut flora profiles relative to controls fordeveloping Type 2 DiabetesAllnatural and sustainable fiber sourceAnabundant and cost-effective ingredientEasyand scalable manufacturing
- 技術應用
- Potential product uses include diverse health and wellness applications for weight loss, gut health, blood sugar control and lowering cholesterol levels.We are currently seeking partners to commercialize our novel CPPingredient in functional food and beverage applications, nutritionalsupplements, botanicals and/or nutraceutical products which target a diet-based approach todelay or prevent carbohydrate-related metabolic and cardiovascular diseases,including obesity, pre-diabetes, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, hyperlipidemiaand hypercholesterolemia. CPP is an ideal fiber source for use inhuman, household pet or livestock diets.
- 詳細技術說明
- A low-cost and all natural dietary fiber for use in health and wellness foods and beverages. Our proprietary dried carrot pomace that has been shown to lower blood serum glucose levels and improve lipid profiles to normal levels in pre-diabetic and diabetic animals using the Nile rat model. Human clinical trials are currently underway.
- *Abstract
-
Themarket for dietary fibers in foods and beverages is expected to reach $6.5billion by 2022 and includes diverse health and wellness applications forweight loss, gut health, blood sugar control and lowering cholesterol levels.Changes in taste and quality preferences for the growing number of healthconscious consumers as well as aging global populations drive industry’s needsto introduce new sources of functional fibers.
Carrotpomace powder (CPP) has potential to be at the top of this list as a leadingnew source of functional dietary fibers. It is currently considered a “wasteproduct” of carrot juice production; however, we have found CPP isolated usingour proprietary process to be highly enriched in both soluble and insolublefibers (greater than 50% by weight) while maintaining a low sugar-to-fiberratio in the final composition. When tested in the male Nile rat model of TypeII Diabetes, CPP dramatically improved mammalian carbohydrate metabolism,including lowering lowered blood glucose, cholesterol and triglycerideprofiles, while also reducing fat accumulation and weight gain. The health andwellness benefits of CPP were found to be more effective than comparable levelsof two other leading commercial healthy dietary fibers – insoluble celluloseand soluble inulin. CPP exerts its effects by beneficially alteringcarbohydrate uptake and the cecal microflora composition within thegastrointestinal tract. Complementingits superior performance as a functional dietary fiber, CPP is also costeffective and easy to incorporate into manufacturing processes.
