Naturex is an active partner of the consortium, which includes small- and medium-size companies, European universities, as well as multinational food & beverage companies from nine European countries.
The Satin project’s €6m budget includes in vitro studies and several clinical trials. The Satin project is funded by the European Union’s 7th Framework Programme. The research aims to identify which ingredients and processing methods play a role in satiety and how they influence energy intake.
These findings will paint a better picture of how the inclusion of food compounds (botanical extracts, proteins, polysaccharides) and the modification of food matrices influence satiety and weight gain and may provide hope to the many people currently struggling with obesity.
