CCC CARBOHEALTH

CarboHealth

CarboHealth, also known under the name CCC3, started in 2013 and has been completed at the end of 2017. CarboHealth aims to develop a toolbox to support the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in substantiating health claims regarding dietary fibre. CarboHealth is conducting fundamental and demand-driven research on the effects of known and potential new prebiotics on human intestinal flora.

Knowledge institutes and businesses have joined hands in CarboHealth to stimulate and dig deeper into knowledge on the role of starches and carbohydrates in health. The aim is to make meaningful contributions to healthier societies and to subjects like Healthy Ageing, but while doing so also generating added value for CCC partners. CarboHealth has a program volume of €3.3 million, €1.7 million of which is private investment (cash and in-kind).

Participating partners

Six business enterprises are participating in the consortium – FrieslandCampina, AVEBE, Sensus, Nutreco, Winclove and Danone Nutricia – alongside four knowledge institutes – WUR, UG, UMCG and DLO-FBR.
