During the Health Ingredients Europe (HIE) 2006 show in Frankfurt, Germany, Cargill, Inc., Minneapolis, MN, won the HiE 2006 Gold Award for the best innovation in health ingredients with its Xtend isomaltulose —the slowly digestible sugar resulting in a low blood glucose and insulin response. The European award recognizes important new research into the product regarding its potential role in helping food manufacturers create products that satisfy consumers needs around “sustained energy supply,” “blunted glycemic response” and “prolonged satiation.” Although the initial data is promising in these areas, more research is needed.
