NUTRIOSE® soluble fiber contributes to a prolonged energy supply for whole-body metabolism

Introduction 

ROQUETTE has developed solutions contributing to the prevention of major health concerns worldwide. Among these solutions, NUTRIOSE® is a soluble non-viscous bre produced
from wheat or maize starch with a bre content of 85% (on D.S).

The objectives of the present research works were to demonstrate in healthy volunteers that NUTRIOSE® displays a prolonged energy supply, with:

• A prolonged breath hydrogen excretion protocole.
• A prolonged oxidation prole of colonic metabolites.

Conclusion

NUTRIOSE® is a soluble bre displaying a specfic colonic fermentation and oxidation pattern. Sustained colonic fermentations from NUTRIOSE® may contribute to a prolonged daily energy supply for whole-body metabolism.
