has recently launched a new sweetener
Iconisweet
, featuring a blend of erythyl glycol, stevia glycoside, rohan glucose, alotone sugar and four other sweeteners that have been very popular in recent years.
The
the benefits of each sweetener, while eliminating their own disadvantages, according to Icon Foods, a company."Each sweetener has its own shortcomings, and developers may need to spend a lot of time experimenting with combinations to make up for their shortcomings,"
Thom King
, president and ceo of Icon Foods
, said in a press release.
Iconisweet
is the product that combines four popular sweeteners to give them the best possible performance and avoid bad places, creating a whole new sweetener. " these four sweeteners are very popular in recent years, low-calorie health sweeteners, are very ideal substitute sugar, then each has what advantages and disadvantages?"1erythyl glycolgood taste low calorieserythyl glycol is a functional glycol developed and
marketed by Japanese manufacturers in the late
20th century
90s
, Its taste and sweetness are very close to white sugar, sweetness is about
60%-70%
of white sugar, pure taste, no after-pain, but the calories are only
1/10
white sugar.Does not cause changes in blood sugar erythrenicol is not degraded by enzymes, can only be excreted from the blood through the kidneys to the urine, do not participate in sugar metabolism and blood sugar changes, can prevent tooth decay, suitable for diabetics, will not cause gastrointestinal discomfort like glycolycol.Sorption is low and erythrosterol is hypohustic, which inhibits microbial growth and increases shelf life of products, and has better structural tightness and softness than products that also use sucrose as raw materials, and is more suitable for chocolate, confectionery and baked goods.In addition, erythyl glycol dissolves in water with heat absorption effect, low solubility, easy crystallization, so the entrance has a cool feeling, which also makes it less widely used than stevia glycoside.Photo Source:

208.3 billion by

2020
Supery sweetness does not rise sugar stevia sugar is a new type of natural sweetener refined from chrysanthemum herb stevia, sweetness of
250 to 450
times, after consumption is not absorbed, does not produce heat, so diabetes, obesity patients can be used natural sweetener.is soluble in water, good stability stevia glycoside is soluble in water and alcohol, with sucrose, fructose, isomerized sugar and other mixed taste is better. Under normal food and beverage processing conditions, the properties of stevia glycosides are fairly stable, which is conducive to reducing viscosity, inhibiting bacterial growth and extending product shelf life, so they can be used in almost all food and beverages.has a slight bitter tastestevia sugar has a slight astringent taste, and the
REB A
with the highest content of stevia glycosides has a distinct bitter taste and a certain degree of astringent and menthol flavor. Stevia sugars
REB M
and
REB D
, which also have a better taste and are produced by fermentation, are still not commercialized on a large scale and are more expensive.3Rohan fruit sweetside Luohan fruit is produced in Guangxi, China, is China's traditional clean heat detoxification, sputum cough, clear lung intestines and raw thirst-quenching medicinal health food, is one of the first approved by the state of medicinal food two-use materials. Because of its strong

, no heat, all natural, good taste and other properties. In recent years, Rohan fruit sweet glycoside in Europe and the United States from little known to be widely accepted by the food and beverage industry.luohan fruit in the health function of outstanding effect, can play a positive role in modern people's immune system, liver, blood sugar to improve and regulate, to meet the health requirements of consumers. Compared with the current traditional natural sweetener stevia sugar, Rohan fruit stevia taste is closer to sucrose, sweet characteristic curve almost overlaps with sucrose, so Rohan fruit stevia is often used together with stevia sugar, which also makes up for the shortage of stevia sugar to some extent. Rohan fruit on the climate and soil requirements are high, not like stevia can be planted on a large scale, so low raw material production, high cost, extraction technology is also very difficult, the price is the biggest obstacle to limit the application of rohan fruit sweetside. 4aloxone sugar alotone sugar is arguably the most sugar-like of the four generations of sugar, its sweetness is about
70%
of sucrose, the sweetness curve and sucrose are almost the same, will not appear like other sweeteners odor; Rad reaction; also has expansion and water absorption, providing the application with volume, allowing manufacturers to add "add fiber" to the product claim, but with few calories (only
0.4kal/g
), has special functions to regulate blood sugar and other health benefits, has been rated by the U.S. Food Navigation Network as the most potential alternative to sucrose. Alodone sugars are particularly suitable for adding to baked goods that require browning reactions. But because it's too much like sucrose, alotone sugar is as moisture-absorbing as sucrose, and if not controlled in the application, it absorbs moisture from the environment and can affect texture, and because it's a niche, it's more expensive. Thom King
said that in the mixture, erythyl glycol and alotone sugar neutralize the taste of stevia sugar and rohan fruit sweet glycoside; In addition, erythyl glycol also reduces the moisture activity of alodone sugars and extends shelf life. "This is probably the purest and most versatile sweetener I've ever used."
Thom Kin
added, "It combines the four ingredients in perfect proportions, requires no additional provisioning, and provides a clean label." ”
