Download or read book Sweeteners and Sugar Alternatives in Food Technology written by Kay O'Donnell and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-07-13 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive and accessible source of information on all types of sweeteners and functional ingredients, enabling manufacturers to produce low sugar versions of all types of foods that not only taste and perform as well as sugar-based products, but also offer consumer benefits such as calorie reduction, dental health benefits, digestive health benefits and improvements in long term disease risk through strategies such as dietary glycaemic control. Now in a revised and updated new edition which contains seven new chapters, part I of this volume addresses relevant digestive and dental health issues as well as nutritional considerations. Part II covers non-nutritive, high-potency sweeteners and, in addition to established sweeteners, includes information to meet the growing interest in naturally occurring sweeteners. Part III deals with the bulk sweeteners which have now been used in foods for over 20 years and are well established both in food products and in the minds of consumers. In addition to the "traditional" polyol bulk sweeteners, newer products such as isomaltulose are discussed. These are seen to offer many of the advantages of polyols (for example regarding dental heath and low glycaemic response) without the laxative side effects if consumed in large quantity. Part IV provides information on the sweeteners which do not fit into the above groups but which nevertheless may offer interesting sweetening opportunities to the product developer. Finally, Part V examines bulking agents and multifunctional ingredients which can be beneficially used in combination with all types of sweeteners and sugars.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sugar substitutes have been a part of American life since saccharin was introduced at the 1893 World's Fair. In Empty Pleasures, the first history of artificial sweeteners in the United States, Carolyn de la Pena blends popular culture with business and women's history, examining the invention, production, marketing, regulation, and consumption of sugar substitutes such as saccharin, Sucaryl, NutraSweet, and Splenda. She describes how saccharin, an accidental laboratory by-product, was transformed from a perceived adulterant into a healthy ingredient. As food producers and pharmaceutical companies worked together to create diet products, savvy women's magazine writers and editors promoted artificially sweetened foods as ideal, modern weight-loss aids, and early diet-plan entrepreneurs built menus and fortunes around pleasurable dieting made possible by artificial sweeteners. NutraSweet, Splenda, and their predecessors have enjoyed enormous success by promising that Americans, especially women, can "have their cake and eat it too," but Empty Pleasures argues that these "sweet cheats" have fostered troubling and unsustainable eating habits and that the promises of artificial sweeteners are ultimately too good to be true.

Download or read book Health and Sugar Substitutes written by B. Guggenheim and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Proceedings of six sessions on sugar substitutes communicate interdisciplinary problems and research findings. Partial replacement of sucrose by nutritive and non-nutritive sugar substitutes is a valid means of reducingdental caries. No unanimity with regard to criteria to be applied for the assessment of cariogenicity of sweetners or foodstuffs has been reached. People are specifically sensitized against possible side effects of chemical, eitherdrugs or food additives. Sugar substitutes, often used to decrease caloric intake, are of vital and legitimate interest to diabetics. The sugar substitute controversy can be solved through practical alternatives proposed by reserchand benefit/risk assessments. Sessions address 1) reasons for sugar substitute use; 2) absorption, metabolism, and safety of nutritive and non-nutritive substitutes; 3) practical problems in sugar substitutes in foods; 4) new sweetner products; 5) metabolic criteria and oral health; 6)safety, risk/benefit assessment, and legal factors.

Download or read book The Sweet Miracle of Xylitol written by Fran Gare, N.D. and published by Turner Publishing Company. This book was released on 2002-10-01 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The average person eats one-half cup of sugar a day, more than is recommended for the average person, particularly people who suffer from diabetes, insulin resistance, and Syndrome X. Unlike sugar, xylitol does not require insulin to be metabolized. Xylitol is an all-natural sugar substitute derived from birch tree bark or from corncobs. It is teaspoon-for-teaspoon as sweet as sugar, and has the added quality of binding to saliva, leaving a sweet taste lingering in the mouth. Fran Gare explains the health benefits of using xylitol rather than sugar, aspartame, saccharin, sorbitol, or mannitol.
