The challenge of sugar reduction & sweetener replacement.

Reducing sugar is more than a simple ingredient substitution. Sugar contributes to sweetness, flavor balance, body and mouthfeel. Replacing it with high-intensity sweeteners can also introduce bitterness, lingering sweetness or unwanted aftertaste. Successful sugar reduction means maintaining the taste, balance and sensory experience consumers expect.

Avoiding aftertaste
