Dietary Fiber Association - Annual meeting - Kobe, Japan - 9-10th Nov. 2007
A Roquette conference on the impacts of indigestible dextrin on gut comfort.
Healthy eating is continuing to gather pace in Japan and Roquette communicates regularly with nutrition experts on the latest developments in food, health and economy.
It was a great opportunity for Roquette to join the Annual Meeting of the Dietary Fiber Association and to give a conference on “The impacts of indigestible dextrin on gut comfort”. The conference introduced results of an in vivo mice study1 on the impact of NUTRIOSE® on intestinal well-being and immunity maintenance.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is the most common gastrointestinal disorder, affecting 20% of the population and characterized by abdominal pain and infraclinical intestinal inflammation. Fiber supplementation is a frequent treatment option in IBS, but the roles of fibers on intestinal pain and inflammation remain poorly known.
This study concludes that NUTRIOSE® significantly improved biological markers of abdominal pain and inflammation in mice. Such results advance our understanding of the effects of fiber on intestinal disorders and suggest that the prebiotic-like soluble fiber NUTRIOSE® may be a safe and promising treatment for IBS patients.
Roquette’s experts remain available to provide in-depth answers to any questions you may have.
