A recently published scientific
study has shown that Beneo’s
slow release and low glycaemic
carbohydrate Palatinose supports
additional loss of body weight and
fat mass in overweight and obese
adults, when replacing sucrose in
a weight loss diet. These findings
are linked to the advantage
of Palatinose in steering the
metabolism towards fat burning
and highlight that carbohydrate
choice matters in a weight loss
diet, beyond calorie counting. The
study has been carried out by Dr
Helen Lightowler and Professor
Jeya Henry at Oxford Brookes
University’s Functional Food
Centre in the UK.
The randomised, double-blind,
controlled intervention study
aimed to evaluate the effects
of an energy-reduced diet
containing Palatinose on body
weight loss, in comparison to
sucrose. Over a 12-week period,
50 healthy overweight and obese
adults consumed either 40g of
Palatinose or sucrose over four
meals a day, as part of their
energy-reduced diet (in total
approximately 1700 kcal per day).
The evening meal was free choice
for participants. Changes in body
weight, body composition (fat
mass, fat free mass) and energy
metabolism were assessed at the
beginning of the study and every
subsequent four weeks.
Both the Palatinose and sucrose
groups lost weight over the 12-
week study period. However, only
those participants consuming
Palatinose achieved significant
weight loss; losing an extra kilo in
comparison to the sucrose group.
In addition, the Palatinose group
also experienced a reduction in fat
mass percentage (approximately
2%) and a significant increase
in fat free mass percentage (i.e.
lean body mass). These observed
changes were linked to a greater
reduction in energy intake and
a higher fat burning rate with
Palatinose compared to sucrose.
For the first time, researchers
were able to show in one study
the long-term benefits of body
weight and fat loss, as well as
short-term aspects such as higher
fat burning and lower energy
intake in the same people. For
example, the breakfast containing
Palatinose led to a significantly
lower respiratory quotientii than
the identical breakfast containing
sucrose, demonstrating a higher
fat burning rate of up to 15% with
Palatinose.

the conscious shift.
“Oat milk is the fastest growing
plant-based milk globally.
There’s clearly demand for oat
milk sourced from the world’s
best oats and farmed by the
world’s experts in agriculture.
“The category holds enormous
potential for New Zealand
farmers who’d like to shift
towards producing highervalue
and more environmentally
sustainable products.
“We’ve shown discerning
consumers will pay a premium
for New Zealand grown
oats. We’re stepping up our
manufacturing, distribution and
marketing efforts to take Kiwi
oats to the world, a journey from
crop to cup, bringing value back
to the farmer.”
A recent Cambridge University
study found oat milk production
requires significantly lower
environmental inputs than
dairying. According to the
research, producing one litre of
oat milk requires 11x less land,
13x less water, 6.5x less fertiliser,
and emits 3.5x less greenhouse
gas emissions than one litre of
dairy milk.
