PALATINOSE (TNP-470) is a natural occurring disaccharide composed of alpha-1,6-linked glucose and fructose。 PALATINOSE has a beneficial effect on liver metabolic functions and might therefore be a good substitute for sucrose as a sweetener.

与摄取蔗糖饮食的小鼠相比，摄取palatinose diet 饮食的小鼠表现出更低的血清葡萄糖、胰岛素和总胆固醇水平，同时多个与脂肪合成相关的基因和蛋白的表达也有所下降。Palatinose diet 饲养小鼠的肝细胞组织学分析显示正常形态。综上所述，palatinose diet 的摄入降低了肝脏脂肪合成，并且相较于蔗糖，更有助于维持更佳的胆固醇平衡。
