Morinaga & Co., Ltd. Research results for over 10 years! Confirmed the function of passion fruit-derived passenol to promote "fat burning in daily movements"

 Morinaga & Co., Ltd. confirmed that the functional ingredient "piceatannol" of the company's original food material "Pasenol" that supports functional labeling has a new function to promote fat burning during rest and daily activities.

Passionol is a product obtained by extracting the polyphenol component "piceatannol" derived from passion fruit using Morinaga & Co.'s patented technology.

On September 15, the company held a "Research Results and Press Conference on Pasenol" at the head office building in Shiba, Minato-ku, Tokyo.

Shinya Mori, Senior Executive Officer, Director of the Institute, and Sadao Mori, Researcher, Health Science Research Center, Morinaga & Co., Ltd., presented the results of this research.

Researcher Sadao Mori explains that passion fruit-derived polyphenol material "Pasenol" has a function to promote fat burning regardless of whether it is at rest or during daily exercise activities, as the number of hours spent at home and working from home is increasing due to the corona. ..

――― In this study, we measured exhaled gas at rest and during exercise at the level of daily activity in 9 healthy adult men and women in their 20s and 40s, and changed the fat burning rate (lipid metabolism ratio). Was compared with the case of taking a control diet (placebo).

As a result, it was confirmed that the fat consumption increased 7 days after the intake of placebo, regardless of the rest or daily activity, as compared with the 7 days after the intake of the placebo.

This result can be expected to promote fat burning as energy consumed in daily life during the period when home time and telecommuting continue due to corona damage.

Through cell experiments and clinical trials, we have been able to induce the expression of longevity genes (sirtuins) in blood cell line cells, maintain the elasticity of human skin, and increase the water content of the stratum corneum. This is the first time that "the effect of promoting fat burning" has been confirmed while clarifying various functions.

From these research results of Morinaga & Co., it has become possible to support three functional displays.

The three functional displays are "fat consumption during rest and daily life," "protecting skin moisture," and "maintaining skin elasticity," making it possible to express "triple claims."
