Clinical Study
Phase 2 Stability & Activity in Mashed Potatoes

When the white kidney bean powder, Phase 2 Carb Controller®, (known as StarchLite in Europe) was incorporated into a prepared food, ingestion of it yielded the desired glycemic effect in vivo. However, the available laboratory assay techniques were unable to detect the expected inhibitory effect in vitro. This apparent anomaly had to be resolved, in order to unequivocally establish the inhibitory activity of Phase 2® in prepared foods.The objective of this investigation was to determine the fate of Phase 2® in mashed potatoes and to develop a method for monitoring its inhibitory activity
