Prebiotic, probiotic blend yields stable synbiotic
Better together, a blend of a liquid prebiotic chicory root
fiber and a stable probiotic results in Frutalose PRO, a lowcalorie, low-sugar, clinically proven synbiotic. Development
of the new ingredient came about through a strategic
alliance between Sensus America and Ganeden. It is
based on Sensus' Frutalose SF75 liquid inulin fiber and
Ganeden's patented probiotic, GanedenBC30.
The combination ingredient is designed to maximize
health benefits to the consumer, particularly in the areas of
protein use and digestive health. Synbiotics are products
that contain both prebiotic and probiotic components.
"Partnering with an industry leader such as Sensus will
enable us to broaden applications of GanedenBC30 into more functional food applications," said Andrew Lefkowitz,
president of Ganeden. He cited the scientific and technical expertise of the partner company.
Carl Volz, president of Sensus America, described the alliance as a way to capitalize "on the unique opportunities
and synergies that these innovative ingredients provide."
The new ingredient offers a pre/probiotic fortification solution appropriate for many food categories, including
baked foods and snacks.
In another development, Sensus announced availability of a new technical paper about inulin's reduced glycemic
response. Chicory root fiber is around 30 to 50% as sweet as sucrose and has synergy with high-intensity sweeteners.
Its low glycemic response suggests applications in foods targeted at reducing the risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes
and cardiovascular disease.

Kamut, spelt flours

Traceable high-oleic canola oil

Two ancient grains are now available from Honeyville as stable
flours for commercial bakery
use: Kamut wheat flour and
spelt flour. Neither spelt nor
Kamut have been altered
or hybridized like modern
wheat, making them highly desirable by consumers demanding more natural foods, the company said. Granulation can be
adjusted to meet coarse, medium or fine grind specifications.
Kamut carries high levels of selenium, a mineral known for its
high antioxidant capacity. Spelt, a cousin of wheat, offers a strong
substitute for modern wheat.

This fall, Cargill mapped all aspects of its North American supply chain for high-oleic canola oil, an industry first, according to
the company. This is part of its Knowing Your Roots: From Farm
to Table program. It walks customers and consumers through the
whole supply chain from seed development and the farmers who
grow the canola, through oil processing and packaging and on to
the food manufacturers who use the oils.
