Beneo is highlighting evidence supporting the benefits of its Palatinose (isomaltulose) ingredient for athletes on a low-glycemic diet. The company says the slow-release carbohydrate opens up potential for F&B manufacturers to tap into the growing market of endurance leisure and professional sports. Palatinose, derived from beet sugar, helps stabilize blood glucose levels and enhance fat oxidation during exercise, notes Beneo. Moreover, the company says these benefits also extend to athletes’ performance, particularly in optimizing their energy supply and metabolic efficiency, which is supported by a randomized, placebo-controlled study on endurance athletes.
