Consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the close relation between nutrition and health. This is driving the growth of functional foods and supplements. WACKER offers innovative antioxidants (CAVACURMIN®, CAVAQ10®, HTEssence®) and a soluble dietary fiber – CAVAMAX® W6 alpha-dextrin – for use in formulating novel food-supplement formulations (EU-verified health claim).
Low-glycemic-index (GI) foods take longer to digest and maintain the blood glucose at a more even level. A low GI-value diet therefore supports a healthy lifestyle. CAVAMAX® W6 alpha-dextrin is a natural-occurring cyclic oligosaccharide that is produced by WACKER via the enzymatic degradation of starch. The water-soluble dietary fiber has a positive effect on the glycemic index (GI) – a fact that has also been proven in a clinical trial. Moreover, the European Commission has certified that alpha-cyclodextrin has a proven health benefit (health claim). The EU expert opinion confirmed that alpha-cyclodextrins can reduce the increase in blood sugar after a starchy meal.
