Dow Introduces SATISFIT™ Weight Care Technology

MIDLAND, Mich.—Dow introduced an innovative new technology for weight care at the Health Ingredients Europe (HiE) show in Paris this month. In pre-clinical studies, SATISFIT™ Weight Care Technology has shown the ability to reduce absorption of saturated and trans fats, reduce weight gain and promote healthy fat metabolism. It also can be easily formulated into food and beverages.

“SATISFIT is targeted to aid in the development of foods that can ‘satisfy’ in taste and texture, while also being compatible with consumers’ goals for ‘fitness’ and healthy eating,” said Stephanie Lynch, global marketing manager for Food & Nutrition.

Lynch said the technology is the result of a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) between Agricultural Research Service (ARS), the chief scientific research agency of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), and The Dow Chemical Company.

SATISFIT™ Weight Care Technology is 100-percent soluble, highly process tolerant, non-fermentable and also can help extend food product freshness. It does not add calories to formulations and easily can be incorporated into beverages and dairy type products, as well as biscuits, bars and ready meals.
