Overweight, obesity and lifestyle diseases are major public health concerns worldwide.The global prevalence of obesity has nearly doubled between 1980 and 2008.In 2008, it was estimated that in average 1.46 billion adults worldwide had a BMI of 25 kg/m2 or greater.Interventions and policies that can impact positively these figures are needed in most countries.Nutritional policies have raised tracks for solutions among which dietary habits and nutrients intakes recommendations play a key role.45 to 60% of the total energy intake should come from carbohydrates, in combination with reduced intake of fat, and a daily dietary fibre intake of 25 g/day would be also recommended in line with WHO/FAOs recommendations.Actually fibre consumption in European Union is generally not sufficient and food industry is confronted with the challenge of changing this trend by developing solutions that might help consumers to reach the above indicated goals.Consumers might be health-conscious but also often looking for added benefits to reward their efforts of will.Some dietary fibre supplements were therefore developed to bring "ready to use" fibers to the consumers, while taking into account the types of population that might be concerned about it.Nomadic fibre supplements, transportable in the bag, could be useful to complete rushed meals of healthy working people, living a rapid type of contemporary life,and concerned about maintaining a "normal BMI" and a healthy way of life.Furthermore, already overweight people being on a diet might find some interest in using a supplement easy to add to their meals while reducing hunger feelings and favouring weight control.In order to improve the dietary fibre intakes of the population, national dietary guidelines encourage the consumption of fibre-rich foods, including naturally rich foods and fortified foods.Non-viscous soluble fibres have been widely used to fortify food, and several physiological and health effects have been proposed to be associated with the consumption of various fibre such as polydextrose, resistant dextrins and resistant maltodextrins.Focusing on the effects related to weight management and satiety, recent findings obtained in humans and animals have variable levels of evidence.As NUTRIOSE?, a resistant dextrin, has shown its benefits in such contexts, a developmental approach has been conducted leading to two types of "sticks" respectively adapted to the above described circumstances.We firstly developed a process leading to a unique type of dextrin offering outstanding technological qualities in terms of stability towards industrial food processes and structural specificities in terms of digestibility.Then we followed a relevant step-by-step methodology, including the scientific demonstration of the sought-after nutritional benefits.In this way, we were in particular able to demonstrate that 17 g/day NUTRIOSE? added twice daily to a fruit drink for 12 weeks had positive impacts on hunger feelings and weight management.Then we demonstrated a dose-related positive impact on some satiety-related and anthropometric parameters, being effective in the modulation of satiety from 8-14g/d, and in weight management from 14g/d.This type of scientific approach, methodical and logical, helps producing nutritional ingredients and formulating meals meeting at once the regulations requirements and the consumers needs.
