Taura’s JusFruit URC Ingredients Register as Low GI

Taura Natural Ingredients recently conducted independent GI testing of two of its URC fruit ingredients. The results have confirmed conclusively that both ingredients register as low GI — a measure indicating that they release energy slowly into the bloodstream, which can help to keep hunger at bay and assist in controlling blood glucose levels.

Human nutrition researchers at the University of Otago in New Zealand recorded scores of below 45 for Taura’s JusFruit URC Apple Strawberry and JusFruit URC Mixed Berry ingredients and ready-to-eat fruit snacks. Low GI foods must register a score of less than 55. GI foods are reported to be helpful in weight management programs and reducing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

In a separate development, the European Commission has adopted into law an EFSA-approved health claim that “Consumption of foods containing fructose leads to a lower blood glucose rise compared to foods containing sucrose or glucose.” A condition of using the claim is that the sucrose or glucose content in the product in question should be at least 30% lower than in a comparative product — an outcome that is achievable using Taura’s URC fructose-rich fruit ingredients, according to the company.
