The sweet science of sugar reduction
Looking to reduce sugar from snack bars and breakfast cereals? This challenge is a lot to digest.
When replacing sugar, you’ve got to restore much more than sweetness. In snack bars, sugar is a key textural agent. It binds the structure together, allowing products to carry chewy or crunchy texture. No sugar? Bars become brittle or dry.
Meanwhile, breakfast cereals rely on sugar for crispiness, particle cohesion, and flavor balance, plus their toasty golden-brown color. Without this ingredient, cereals can taste dull and look unappealing.
Unless, of course, you’ve got our bakery expertise and science-backed solutions. Our ingredients, sweeteners, and advanced technologies can help restore missing elements to your formulations, preserving exceptional sweetness and mouthfeel.
Serious about cereal
How can you add nutraceuticals and other fortification solutions to your recipe to create nutritious cereal with no compromise on the delicious flavor? For a proven solution, try our flavor modulation and masking tools. But why stop there? We can also work with you to reduce sugar in these products - and achieve a better Nutri-Score.
