Technological advances help reduce sugar in food and drinks

DUBLIN, March 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — “Technology Advances Enabling Sugar Reduction in Food and Beverage Products” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offer.

Sugar reduction has become common in the food industry as end consumers increasingly focus on healthier food choices. As research highlights that excessive sugar consumption can lead to chronic health problems, regulators are actively establishing guidelines requiring the reduction of sugar in various products. In response, industry players are developing strategies to reduce sugar in their product formulations.

This research provides an overview of technological advances related to sugar reduction strategies in F&B products. Although sugar has a myriad of functional benefits in addition to adding sweetness, many challenges and obstacles still need to be overcome when considering alternatives to sugar in product development, including the need to adapt production techniques and modulation of aroma and taste, the need to carefully characterize new ingredients. , and the careful assessment of the use and safety of innovative sweeteners in diets, including their nutritional impact and consumer acceptance.

Addressing some of these potential technology, supply chain and business challenges will help alternative sweetener companies thrive in the F&B sector.

Key questions of this research Will respond

• What are the key technologies being developed to replace sugar in F&B products?

• What are the emerging technological approaches to reduce and/or replace sugar?

• What research and product development efforts are being undertaken by the various stakeholders?

• What are the challenges faced by sugar reduction technologies? How are stakeholders trying to overcome these challenges?

• What are the growth opportunities for stakeholders trying to develop sugar reduction technologies in the F&B sector?
