Technology Advances Enabling Sugar Reduction in Food and Beverage Products - Hollowing and Advanced Surface Modification Techniques

DUBLIN, March 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Technology Advances Enabling Sugar Reduction in Food and Beverage Products" report has been added to  ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Sugar reduction has become mainstream in the food and beverages (F&B) industry as end consumers increasingly focus on healthier food choices. As research highlights that overindulgence in sugar can lead to chronic health conditions, regulatory authorities are actively establishing guidelines that mandate the reduction of sugar in various products. In response, industry stakeholders are devising strategies to reduce sugar in their product formulations.

This research provides a snapshot of the technological advances related to sugar reduction strategies in F&B products. Although sugar has a myriad of functional benefits apart from adding sweetness, many challenges and obstacles remain that must be overcome when considering sugar alternatives in product development, including the requirement to adapt production techniques and flavor and taste modulation, the need to characterize new ingredients thoroughly, and the careful assessment of the use and safety of innovative sweeteners in diets, including nutritional impact and consumer acceptance.

Addressing some of these potential challenges along the lines of technology, supply chain, and business will help alternate sweetener companies prosper in the F&B industry.
