People with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) who see the biggest benefits of adhering to a low FODMAP diet, which restricts intake of fermentable carbs, have a distinct gut bacterial profile, new research has revealed.
The global ingredients specialist has launched a dietary fibre in the US that will help manufacturers answer consumer demand for snacks that support digestive health.
Finnish food group Fazer has developed LOFO, an enzyme-based solution that unlocks the door to low-FODMAP baking. The first breads made using this patented innovation have hit the shelves in Finland.
Research into the use of enzymes to break down FODMAPs could help industry develop new, stomach-friendly plant-based food products. FoodNavigator speaks to VTT researcher Antti Nyyssölä to find out more.
