Researchers at the Higher Council for Scientific Research Spain have developed a biobased method to mass produce the fagomine, a new compound to fight against the feeling hunger.
The fagomine is an alkaloid, piperidine core, present in small amounts in the seed of buckwheat. By delaying postprandial absorption of carbohydrates (simple and xomplexes), it also delays the recurrence of hunger, due to the rapid drop in blood sugar.
It will be produced in large quantities with the use of recombinant enzyme. And could be marketed at the end of the year in the U.S..
