About

The "cLabel+ Innovative natural, nutritious and consumer-oriented clean label food" is a research and technological development project centered on responding to the challenges facing the food industry. It is focused on the concept of "clean label", which emerges as one of the major current trends in the sector, given the growing number of consumers who are increasingly aware and eager for information, who are looking for alternative, more transparent and natural food products.

Thus, one of the aims of the cLabel+ project is to research the macronutrients and phenolic compounds present in food matrices and achieve a clean label positioning for the final products developed. This single group assignment clinical trial aims to evaluate the effect of daily consumption of a fruit juice, developed as part of the collaborative project cLabel+, on gut microbiota composition and diversity in healthy adults. It is also intended to study the acute metabolic effect, namely in terms of appetite control, and lipid and glucose metabolism.
