Omega-3 ingredient gains
more E.U. approval
The omega-3 fatty acid ingredient life'sDHA will be
cleared for use in bakery products, cereal bars and beverages in 27 member states of the European Union following
a unanimous positive vote from the E.U.'s Standing Committee On The Food Chain and Animal Health (SCFCAH),
Martek Biosciences, Columbia, Md., said July 17.
Previously, the E.U. had cleared the ingredient's use
in breakfast cereals, spreadable fat and dressings, dairy
products (excluding milk-based and milk analogue
drinks) and food supplements. The new vote allows for
its use in milk-based and milk analogue drinks. The draft
commission decision now will pass into the formal procedure before anticipated publication in
the Official Journal of
the European Union.
Manufactured by
Martek Biosciences,
life'sDHA features
a form of omega-3
fatty acid called docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) that is derived from microalgae.
Studies have shown DHA to be a primary building block
for the brain and the eyes and to support brain, eye and
cardiovascular health.

Resistant starch improves insulin sensitivity
Hi-maize resistant starch significantly increased insulin
sensitivity in 10 people with insulin resistance and metabolic
syndrome in a study at the University of Surrey in the United Kingdom. Diabetes UK funded the study, which appeared
in the March issue of Diabetic Medicine.
The overweight people consumed 40 grams of Hi-maize
resistant starch per day and increased their hepatic insulin sensitivity by 54%, their peripheral (muscle) insulin sensitivity by

24%, and their glucose uptake into forearm muscle by 68%.
"These improvements are actually bigger than you get
with most blood glucose lowering drugs," said Denise
Robertson, principal investigator of the study and a lecturer
at the university.
National Starch Food Innovation, Bridgewater, N.J., offers Hi-maize resistant starch. For more information, visit
www.resistantstarch.com.
