COMPOSITION OF LOW GLYCEMIC CARBOHYDRATE AVAILABLE, NET NUTRITIONAL COMPOSITION, AND USE OF A CARBOHYDRATE COMPOSITION

摘要

a low glycemic available carbohydrate composition of the invention contains the following components: (i) 5 - 60% by weight of one or more monosaccharides chosen from monosaccharides other than glucose and fructose, especially galactose, ribose and mannose; (ii) 10 - 75% by weight of oligosaccharides having a length of 2 to 20 anhydromonose units, at least half of which are anhydroglycoside units linked in their alpha-1 position to the 1-, 3-, 5- or 6 position of another anhydromonosis unit; (iii) 0 - 75% by weight of other available carbohydrates and which is used for the treatment of diabetes, obesity, insulin resistance, or for the postprandial glucose response.
