Rohan fruit is a unique chinese medicinal plant, it contains Rohan fructose glycoside as a food sweetener sweetness, good taste, low energy, broad prospects for development. Today, Dr. Zhong Kai, deputy director of the Science and Nutrition Information Exchange Center and an expert at the China Food Safety 30 People Forum, wrote that Rohan fructose glycoside is safe, but should be vigilant if there are related products that claim to have health effects.
estimates that a Rohan dried fruit (on average, 15 grams) contains the same natural sweetness as a kilo of white sugar. Where does the sweetness of Rohango come from? Mr Chung said Rohan fruit contained a small amount of natural sugar, mainly glucose and fructose. However, it is different from the general fruit, sweetness mainly comes from the glycosides, in addition to providing a small amount of sweet glycol and other ingredients.
1970s, U.S. and Japanese scientists studied the sweet source of Rohan fruit and discovered Rohan fructose glycosides. This is a substance called gourd triamcinoid, which is hundreds of times sweeter than sucrose but provides little energy.
is Rohan fructide safe? As one of the earliest batch of approved "medicinal medicinal substances", in China, Rohan fructose glycoside for food sweeteners has also been approved. Mr Chung said that although there had been less research on the safety of Rohango, it had a history of consumption and medicinal use in Southeast Asia for hundreds of years and no side effects had been recorded.
not only that, but the U.S. approved Rohango for food and beverage use in 2009 and gave Rohan fruit extract "GRAS" treatment with confidence in its safety. In addition, official authorities in Canada, Japan, Singapore and other countries have recognized the safety of Rohango, and children, diabetics, pregnant women and breast milk can be eaten.
already submitted technical documents to the EU, which, if not unexpectedly, would be approved by the EU as a sweetener for food," he said. Zhong Kai said.
In fact, Rohan fructose glycoside is stable to heat, stable to acid and alkali, water solubility is very good, and there is no obvious metal taste, bitter taste, astringent taste and other taste defects, so in the food industry has a wide range of uses, the current natural sweeteners extracted by Rohan fruit has become and go hand in hand with the product. Zhong Kai believes that because artificial sweeteners are often questioned by public opinion, natural sweeteners become the future development trend, with the development of the European and American markets, Rohan fruit industry still has a lot of room for development.
, however, it is not clear whether Rohango has health benefits. Although scientific research has shown that Rohan fructose glycoside has a certain anti-inflammatory, antioxidant effect, but the required intake is much larger than the normal human intake standards, so Zhong Kai stressed that if the relevant products really have "odd effect", consumers need to be careful, it may be added illegal drugs. As for whether Rohan fruit extract helps control weight, he believes that the role of sweeteners in weight control is different in academic circles, most studies believe that sweeteners help control weight, but the effect is not significant, a few studies have found that sweeteners have no effect on weight control, or even counterproductive.
