According to a new proof of concept, a new type of traditional ingredient can keep people away from hunger.german researchers suggest that the ingredient - a thickener modified methyl cellulose - could help fight obesity to prolong hunger and release cravings for food.The American Chemical Society presented its data at the
244
National Convention and Exhibition, and the team says the new ingredient
-
, known as
SATISFIT-LTG
-
, is a white powder dissolved in cold water to form a thick solution that heats it into a gel-like substance. This ingredient is designed for food such as yogurt, fruit shakes and smoothies.
Carsten Huettermann
,
of Dow Wolff Cellulosics
, a German company, explains: "This ingredient makes people feel full after eating a small amount of food. "It's responsible for producing this ingredient." Satisfaction accompanied by satiety and hunger. They won't crave more food. Huettermann
: "In our first study, we found that less calories were consumed at the next meal after eating our new product. Now our next job is to look further into whether the mechanism of action affects weight control. " conceptmethyl cellulose

to fight hunger consumed significantly less than those who didn't.
”Overall, they say eating modified methyl cellulose reduced calorie intake by
13 percent
.mechanisms for satiety huettermann
explains: traditional methyl cellulose passes quickly through the stomach and is not an ingredient in satiety. However
SATISFIT-LTG
forms a gel at body temperature, which means the ingredient slows digestion and lingers in the stomach before entering the small intestine.week, the Food Standards Agency
(FSA)
initial approval of the ingredient as a new anti-hunger ingredient.is not a complete approval,
FSA
's advisory board on the new food and process
(ACNFP)
states that it has not found safety issues related to the use of methyl cellulose as an additive in food, which is good news for anti-hunger ingredients (the whole thing is here).however
the FSA
Committee raised concerns about the intake of this ingredient in children.
