A low-calorie, low-sugar vegetable juice for diabetics have been developed by Chinese scientists. The said vegetable juice uses lactic acid-producing bacteria (LAB) - a known probiotics - to remove carbohydrates while retaining the juice's good taste, vitamins and other nutrients.
"The process significantly removes sugar but retains the nutritional content of the juice's raw materials," Xiuqi Liu, of Jilin University in Changchun, said in an American Chemical Society news release.
Liu and colleague Heqin Xing found that LAB-induced fermentation reduced sugar content in the vegetable juice by changing carbohydrates into lactic acid. The increased acidity of the juice inhibits the growth of other bacteria, which extends the shelf life of the juice.
The product will be in the market within a year. I'm sure more people, especially diabetics, are looking forward to it. I can't wait myself.
