Metabolism Enhancing Sweeteners: Breaking New Ground

Using the plant extract steviol, found in the Stevia plant, to make compositions for reducing fat accumulation, promoting fat breakdown, reducing blood glucose levels, promoting sugar uptake, and treating fatty liver diseases. Steviol is used as an active ingredient in oral compositions like beverages to target conditions involving fat accumulation and blood sugar regulation.

Extracts from sugar cane waste that contain polyphenols and flavonoids which can be used to reduce the glycemic index of foods and beverages. The extracts are derived from sugar cane by mixing it with ethanol to extract the beneficial compounds. The ethanol is then removed to obtain the extract with reduced color and bitterness compared to extracts made with less ethanol. The extracts can be added to food and drinks to make low glycemic products.

Glucose oxidase compositions for use in making food, sweeteners, nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals with health benefits such as controlling blood sugar levels. The compositions contain glucose oxidase enzyme and other ingredients like carbohydrates, polyols and saccharides. These compositions can be used to make low glycemic index products that taste sweet like sugar but have reduced calories and improved safety compared to artificial sweeteners.

Using sedoheptulose, a rare seven-carbon sugar, as a nutritional supplement to improve energy metabolism and reduce the glycemic load compared to traditional carbohydrates like glucose and fructose. The supplement can be added to foods and drinks to balance out the carbohydrate profile by increasing the sedoheptulose content. This method allows creating healthier products with a lower ratio of common carbohydrates to sedoheptulose.

Ready-to-use sweeteners that combine the plant-based non-caloric sweetener rebaudioside A, known as stevia, with a small amount of powdered Hoodia, a plant traditionally used to suppress appetite. The sweetener compositions aim to provide a ready-to-use, healthier sweetener option that can be easily integrated into a regular diet while potentially aiding weight management.

Sweetener formulation that provides the same level of sweetness as sugar but without the high carbohydrate content. The formulation contains a mix of glucose and a low calorie sweetener. The glucose provides the desired sweetness level while the low calorie sweetener reduces overall carbohydrate intake. The formulation is intended for use in dietetic products and foods where reducing calorie content is desired. By maintaining the same sweetness level as sugar, it avoids the problems of using only low calorie sweeteners which can lead to greater overall carbohydrate intake.

Use of stevia sweeteners to reduce blood sugar levels in diabetes patients. The compositions contain steviol glycosides, natural sweeteners derived from the stevia plant, that can be orally ingested to help manage blood sugar levels in type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Use of sedoheptulose as a nutritional inducer of cellular oxygen consumption, a nutritional inhibitor of extracellular acidification, glycolysis and lactate formation, and reducer of glycemic load. Sedoheptulose can be added to food products to improve energy metabolism and reduce the C6/C7 carbohydrate ratio.

Use of sedoheptulose in nutritional supplements and food products to improve metabolism and reduce glycemic load. The sedoheptulose provides nutritional benefits by increasing cellular oxygen consumption, inhibiting glycolysis and lactate formation, and reducing extracellular acidification. It also balances carbohydrate ratios and provides anti-inflammatory effects. Adding sedoheptulose to food products like drinks, snacks, and sweeteners can improve their nutrition profile.
