Tate & Lyle PLC, a leading global ingredients and solutions provider, has recently unveiled Tate & Lyle Nutrition Centre, a new digital hub providing easy access to authoritative science on ingredients that can help address public health challenges.
The new centre hopes to raise awareness of evidence-based science for ingredients including low- and no- calorie sweeteners and dietary fibres, and their role in a healthy, balanced diet. Accessible via www.tateandlyle.com/nutrition-centre, the hub houses expert insights, research and educational tools for food and beverage companies, scientists and health professionals.
Visitors can access pre-clinical/clinical research conducted by universities and supported by Tate & Lyle scientists relating to Tate & Lyle’s ingredients and their impact on gut health, blood glucose management, metabolism, gut microbiome, weight management, bone health, and overall health. In addition, visitors can access white papers, articles and events on a range of nutrition topics such as glycemic response and synbiotics, the science around how ingredients relate to health, and diet trends such as sports nutrition, and keto and low-carb diets. Also available are external research and nutritional guidelines published by global authorities.
The Nutrition Centre was developed by Tate & Lyle’s Global Nutrition Team which drives the Company’s science research programme and supports food and beverage companies from its bases in the UK, US, Brazil and Singapore.
According to Dr Kavita Karnik, Global Head, Nutrition & Regulatory Affairs at Tate & Lyle, “With global obesity and diabetes rates rising, there is a great deal of interest from industry, governments, and the health and science communities in food and beverage ingredients with proven health benefits, such as weight management and gut health. Scientific knowledge around ingredients continues to grow, with exciting emerging research pointing to additional health benefits, such as the role some fibres can play supporting immune system function and metabolic health.”
Tate & Lyle digital Nutrition Centre aims to equip customers and industry players with high quality research content that can support new product development with the ultimate goal of supporting healthy living.
