U.S. company launches pea polysaccharies to target gut and weight control markets

U.S. company
AIDP
recently entered into a partnership with French company
Olygose
to launch two pea-source products in the U.S. market, the low-poly-semi-lactose ingredient
AlphaGOS
and
CravingZ
'
Gone
, which is primarily used to promote intestinal health and the latter to increase satiety."
Olygose
was founded in
in 2009
and has a rich scientific and technological base that gives products a big selling point and plant ingredients that are different," said Christopher Weber, head of sales at
AIDP.
AlphaGOS
is made from a clean-labeled pea protein water extract that is neutral and has a light sweetness, similar to sugary functional fibers. In addition, the ingredient is free of GM, gluten, allergens and lactose.In addition to increasing satiety and reducing inflammation in obese people, soluble dietary fiber has the ability to optimize the microbiome, according to a 2015

study by Olygose
. Studies have shown that alphaGOS
significantly
the number of alphagos compared to the control group.Refined Fiber
VS
Whole Grain Resources Whether researchers or nutrition formulator, people are advised to eat more whole grain foods than refined fiber, because the former is the key to regulating the microbiome. Weber says this is true, no doubt about it. But it's easier said than done to recommend that people eat large amounts of whole grain foods, just as it is recommended that people take enough vitamins and fatty acids from their daily diet. To get enough nutrients from your diet, you need to eat a lot. The same is said of whole grain foods, from which you can get enough dietary fiber only if you eat a lot every day. But refined fiber is different, a day as long as the intake of
1-10
grams of refined fiber, you can meet the demand. The battle between whole grain foods and refined fiber comes down to the battle of intake doses, in which refined fiber is slightly better.According to Shitiqiao Media,
AlphaGOS
products as a kind of polysaccharide fiber, its main function is to promote the growth of beneficial bacteria, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, so that the proportion of the two bacteria remain in a healthy and reasonable state. In addition, higher digestive tolerance of refined fibers can also help people with bowel stress syndrome relieve intestinal stress symptoms.current product development trends, formulaters will take into account many types of dietary fiber and probiotics, and dosages will vary. Because each person's microbial population is different, the number and type of probiotics varies from person to person, so each person needs different doses of dietary fiber and probiotics. Consumers should be targeted to choose the type of dietary fiber and probiotics that are appropriate for them and the dose they take. Formulaters also need to take this into account when designing products.
