A New ARKRAY Anti-Glycation Ingredient Lineup
ARKRAY, Inc. (hereunder, ARKRAY) will soon release "Satonaceil", a powdered ingredient made from a hot water-extracted mixture of fenugreek, fennel and hibiscus.
From knowledge gained through many years of diabetes research, ARKRAY has come to understand that glycation (the Maillard reaction) *1 is one of the factors for diabetic complications as well as aging. Thus, ARKRAY has been planning and developing anti-glycation ingredients as well as screening for natural products with anti-glycation effects. It is known that diseases associated with aging progress when advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) *2 increase due to glycation stress*3. As a result of prior research, it has been confirmed*4 that "Satonaceil" has the possibility to decrease the amount of AGEs which build up in the body.
In recent years, with the increase in health and beauty consciousness among consumers, the importance of anti-glycation has come to be recognized. The use of anti-glycation ingredients is progressing in a wide range of products, from health food products to supplements and health drinks. Possible anti-glycation applications for "Satonaceil" will include use as an ingredient in drinks, supplements and more. Along with the "AG Herb MIX", anti-glycation ingredient (an herbal extract composed of a mixture of Roman chamomile, dokudami, hawthorn berry and grape leaf) which was released in 2006, ARKRAY is planning to propose final products that will take advantage of the features of both products to meet customers' needs.
ARKRAY will continue to gather new evidence on the subject of anti-glycation for its ongoing research and development of functional food product ingredients.
"Satonaceil" will be exhibited at the 2018 Hi/FiT/S-tec Japan Exhibition.
Date: October 3, 2018 (Wed.) - October 5 (Fri.)
Place: Tokyo Big Sight, West Hall 1, Atrium, A-011

ARKRAY has mainly conducted research on functional food ingredients contained primarily in herbs and citrus fruits. "AG Herb MIX", which was released in 2006, has an anti-glycation effect, and is used as a component in many products including beauty supplements and others.

1) A type of chemical reaction between sugar and protein that occurs as aging or diabetes advances. In recent years it has also come to be considered one of the risk factors for aging.
