Manage episode 378648391 series 2568255
Show Summary:
“Sweet proteins are proteins; they just taste sweet like sugar. But the big difference is unlike sugar and alternative sweeteners, they don't spike your blood sugar and don’t give you gut microbiome issues.”
Imagine a world where you can enjoy the sweetness of food without worrying about the harmful effects of sugar. It may sound too good to be true, but today, we're diving into a groundbreaking solution that has the potential to revolutionize the way we approach sweetness.
Joining us on the podcast today are Jason Ryder, CTO, co-founder, and brilliant biochemical engineer, and Ali Wing, the visionary CEO of Oobli, a pioneering food technology company. Together, they aim to redefine sweetness and transform the food and beverage industry using naturally sweet proteins.
In this episode, we explore sweet proteins, how they help bend the global curve on diabetes and obesity, and their connection to positive impacting climate change.
Indulgence doesn't have to come at the expense of your well-being. Learn how taste and health can go hand in hand by tuning in to Episode 84 of the Gutsy Health Podcast!
Exceptional Highlights:
- Sweet proteins like Brazzein from the Oubli fruit in West Africa are 500 to 2,000 times sweeter than sucrose, heat-stable, highly soluble, and require only a minuscule amount to deliver the desired sweetness.
- Unlike sugars and some artificial sweeteners, they don't trigger insulin responses beyond the stomach and have no negative impact on the gut microbiome.
