Regarding how to balance consumers' pursuit of sweetness and health, a related person in charge said in a telephone interview that food sweeteners will have a good development trend in the future. "Natural food sweeteners have a sweetness similar to sucrose, but without the calories of sucrose, it will not cause human blood sugar to rise, and will not form dental caries. And some sweeteners have a protective effect on teeth, such as erythrosus Sugar alcohols, etc., can inhibit the formation of plaque."
"At present, food sweeteners are used in beverages, dairy products, candy, health foods and casual snacks. Sweeteners are similar to sucrose in taste and can replace sucrose in a large proportion in many fields.Especially in beverages, the proportion of sugar-free beverages in developed countries such as Europe and the United States can reach more than 30%, while the domestic proportion is still very low, and there is much room for development in the future. In addition, in the field of confectionery, it has become a trend to replace sucrose with sweeteners in chewing gum and throat lozenges. The proportion of chewing gum in sugar-free products abroad can reach more than 90%. Therefore, in most types of food, sweeteners or compound sweeteners can completely replace sucrose. As people's health awareness increases, the health problems caused by high-sugar foods are gradually recognized by consumers. The use of sweeteners to replace sucrose has become a recognized sugar reduction program in various food industries.In the past two years, there will be more new products in domestic sugar-free foods that will be brought to market quickly. “Said the person in charge.
