Properties

Technical Details & Test Data

Physiological Activity: Antioxidative Perspectives

Antioxidants play an essential role in protecting the human body against oxidative processes. Most insoluble dietary fibers show little antioxidative activity – or none at all. Initial in vitro studies have demonstrated that caromax fiber works as an efficient scavenger against free radicals and other reactive substances.

Digestive Perspectives

caromax possesses a high content of insoluble dietary fiber and is especially rich in lignin. Its physiological properties (water-holding capacity and resistance to human digestive enzymes) contribute to an improved intestinal motility and bowel function.

A natural solution for healthy food

Carob powder is an excellent substitute for cocoa and chocolate because it contains in its composition the theobromine, which presents side effects like headache, inappetence or allergies.
