Sorbitol mainly include
With the improvement of living standards, people's health care needs to grow rapidly, the entire health industry will grow at an annual rate of 25%. From the domestic and international health food market status and development trends, health care products in the more popular category for the sports / energy / weight loss class; rapid growth in health needs for the health of blood sugar. Low fat, low calorie, low cholesterol health food varieties, sales, and will lead the market.
At present, in the health industry, the concept of functional sugar set off a wave, it mainly includes three categories: functional oligosaccharides, functional dietary fiber and functional sugar alcohols. Functional sugar with low calorie, regulate the improvement of intestinal flora, anti-caries and other functional characteristics, making it in the health food industry has been widely used.
Digestive health
Statistics show that China's micro-ecological imbalance in the population of more than 60%, functional oligosaccharides through the intestinal bacteria beneficial bacteria Bifidobacterium proliferation, in improving the human micro-ecological balance has an important role. Currently on the market more common functional oligosaccharides are oligofructose, isomaltooligosaccharide, galactooligosaccharides and xylo-oligosaccharides, they are not digested in the gastrointestinal tract, but directly into the large intestine for the bifidus Bacillus use, is a very good intestinal prebiotics.
Weight loss / weight management
When it comes to weight management, you have to mention dietary fiber. Dietary fiber is divided into soluble dietary fiber and insoluble dietary fiber two, can promote gastrointestinal motility, prevent constipation, play a role in controlling the weight. In recent years, polyglucose as a water-soluble dietary fiber by the food and health care products industry's favor. Polyglucose into the body, can suppress appetite, reduce food intake, and take away the body of excess fat and energy. In addition to dietary fiber, new food raw materials - L-arabinose in the regulation of intestinal flora, prevention of obesity is also significant. The results of the Japanese study show that women with constipation tend to add 3% L-arabinose to the black tea and other drinks to take continuous, the number of weekly defecation has increased significantly. According to the three and starch Co., Ltd. test proved that the intake of 5% L-arabinose sugar can also effectively promote the growth of bifidobacteria.
diabetes
Diabetes care products designed to reduce glucose absorption and improve insulin sensitivity, maintain a stable blood glucose levels, to prevent the potential long-term harm to high blood sugar. Increased dietary fiber intake can delay the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, which effectively control blood sugar. For some people with insulin antibodies, dietary fiber can enhance the sensitivity of peripheral insulin.
Functional sugar alcohols, including xylitol, maltitol, erythritol, isomalt, etc., do not cause a significant increase in insulin in the body, so many need sweet but must be sugar-free food health products And the characteristics of sugar alcohol itself, such as prebiotics, low energy and hypoglycemia, insulin response characteristics, to improve the health of food quality, prevention of the occurrence and development of chronic diseases have a positive significance.
