Kaneka presents unique Glavonoid~(™) extract at Vitafoods

摘要

At Vitafoods, Kaneka Pharma will showcase new application possibilities for its patented licorice extract Glavonoid™, which has recently been granted Novel Food status by the European Commission. The polyphenols derived from licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.) have been found to be able to ameliorate abdominal obesity, and to target visceral fat especially, thanks to a unique two-way efficiency profile. Glavonoid~(™)can be used in functional food applications such as milk, yoghurt and fruit- or vegetable-based beverages, as well as in food supplements aimed at the markets for weight management and body shaping.
