Synergizing Sweeteners
Nowadays, food scientists have the freedom to create better-tasting products using sweetener systems rather than relying on a single sweetener to do the heavy lifting. These systems can offer improved functionality while helping to address health concerns like obesity and diabetes.
Sweetness synergy is when a mixture of sweeteners provides a greater sweetness than the sum of their respective individual sweetness intensities. When working with sweeteners, formulators have a lot to consider; the right amount of sweetness, texture, flavor, and appearance that the blend contributes to the food or beverage product, and also the potential health benefits, marketing claims, and cost savings.
