DuPont Nutrition & Health's soluble fiber and low-calorie
specialty carbohydrate, Litesse®,
helps increase satiety and reduce food intake, according to a new study
published in the European Journal
of Nutrition.
The study, conducted by the Functional Food Centre of Oxford
Brookes University, found a 10% reduction in energy intake at a monitored lunch
following consumption of a polydextrose preload 60 minutes prior to the meal.
The researchers concluded polydextrose “has the potential to reduce food
intake" and “could be potentially used for appetite control." Results
of a further positive study are expected to be published later this year.
Part of the DuPont™ Danisco® ingredient range, Litesse is a
recognized prebiotic fiber that contributes just 1 calorie per gram and
mediates a low-glycemic impact. These factors, combined with its ability to
enhance satiety, mean that it can be used to develop innovative foods that are
both satisfying and lower in calories. Available in three grades, it is
suitable for almost all food and beverage applications.
In 2011, DuPont expanded production of Litesse in order to build
on its success and further capture opportunities in the health and nutrition
market.
