6. Innovative Low-Calorie Sweetener Composition for Health-Conscious Food Manufacturing

BAYN SOLUTIONS AB, 2023

A low-calorie sweetener composition that mimics the taste and mouthfeel of sucrose but has fewer calories, a lower glycemic index and is easier to handle in food manufacturing. The composition is a powder made of particles containing a high-intensity sweetener, a non-sucrose bulk sweetener, and a low-digestible carbohydrate polymer like dextrin. The high-intensity sweetener provides the sweetness, the bulk sweetener provides the body, and the low-digestible carbohydrate provides the mouthfeel. The particles are formed by mixing the sweeteners with water and then mixing that with the polymer powder and drying the mixture.
