Calorie savings
Fructofin® fructose has the same caloric value as sucrose (sugar), 4kcal/g. However, Fructofin® fructose has up to 1.8 times the sweetness of sucrose. Therefore much less of the ingredient is required to achieve a sweet taste. And thus fewer calories are consumed, providing a benefit to weight conscious individuals.
High thermogenic effect
When ingested, more energy is required to metabolise Fructofin® fructose than to metabolise glucose, hence this process burns up more calories.
Satiating effect
It has been demonstrated that consumption of Fructofin® fructose prior to eating is particularly effective at preventing hunger pangs and promotes a reduction in calorie consumption during the meal itself. Eating snacks and drinks containing Fructofin® fructose could help the weight conscious and the clinically obese adhere to calorie-controlled diets.
