Carobway plans to present both established and under development products utilising carob fruit at Vitafoods Europe next month, including low glycaemic index (GI) natural sweeteners and prebiotic fibres for use within foods and supplements.
Pharmative’s CSAT+ carob extract was found to significantly increase weight loss and improve insulin sensitivity in a study in mice, when paired with a reduced calorie diet.
For CarobWay and its Co-founder Udi Alroy, the motivation behind setting up the Israeli-based firm was simple – to bring the super-nutritious, highly sustainable food crop to the modern-day table.
The manufacturer says its new product, dubbed CSAT+, a blend of carob bean extracts, is showing promise in weight management and metabolic syndrome (MetS).
