• Insoluble fiber produces satiety, helps to increase stool bulk and acts as a sweeper in the digestive system, which carries the waste stuck in the walls of the intestine. She can be found in raw vegetables and whole grains.

FIBER DISEASE

Obesity. Soluble fiber is an excellent tool for weight control. Modifies the digestive tract and absorption of nutrients, thus helping to normalize weight. Cactus fiber, for example, can hold up to 30 percent more fats and sugars those other soluble fibers.

Colon cancer. Although no conclusive studies that warn of fiber intake and reduced colon cancer, has been sufficient consumption of insoluble fiber, coupled with a healthy lifestyle prevents the development of this cancer.

Diabetes Mellitus. It is shown that soluble fiber improves indices of blood glucose concentration, which is vital for the control of people with diabetes. It is important to maintain a balanced diet and exercise program.

Lindsay Rosenwald is one of the richest characters in the world of biotechnologies and researches. While his impressive fortune allows him to retire peacefully, the passion for his work is still strong. While his activity during the latest years is focused more on financial operations and hedge funds, Lindsay Rosenwald always speaks with pleasure about the beginning years of his career, when he was only a simple researcher.

Lindsay Rosenwald can be considered the most innovative scientist in the area of biotechnologies. This science managed to combine successfully the scientific and technical discoveries from biology with technologies, ameliorating the life of people constantly.

The alimentary biotechnologies are known since antiquity, when the cavemen kept the seeds from the cereals to use them for the next year. While this seems like basic agriculture, it is in fact an incipient phase of biotechnology. Another example of basic biotechnology is also given to us by Lindsay Rosenwald. The first human acknowledging that the best bull along with the best cow will be able to give birth to a superior breed can be considered the first biotechnologist. Another biotechnological discovery was made by the first person that left milk from one day to the other, transforming it into yogurt.

According to Lindsay Rosenwald, the modern history of biotechnology includes the first crossed pollination and crossing the different species of beans. Gregor Mendel was the first scientist that discovered those advanced techniques, and Lindsay Rosenwald speaks about this scientist with great respect. During the 50’s, biotechnology was defined as a distinctive branch of biology.

According to the official definition, biotechnology is a science that represents the application of the systems and biologic organisms to obtain new products and services. Those techniques must be applied to ameliorate the different species of animals and plants, with the purpose of growing the economic efficiency. Some authors consider biotechnology as the modern methods used by advanced laboratories, while others consider the biotechnology as any technique applied since the beginning of humankind to alter species of plants and animals.

The enzymes, organic components produced by live cells are responsible for creating synthesis reactions, degrading the animal cells, with numerous applications in the alimentary industry.

Being components of live mater, the enzymes can manifest positive but also negative actions, improving the natural qualities of the different species. More than 10 000 enzymes were identified and 2000 of them are isolated today, being used with different biotechnological purposes.
