CELLDEX - Development of a low calorie bulk sugar replacer

CELLDEX旨在提供一种令人愉快的，美味的巧克力糖果，其卡路里和蔗糖含量降低，将吸引消费者作为标准巧克力糖果的有吸引力的替代品。为了实现这一目标，该项目将开发一种工艺，从可持续来源生产一种新的低热量散装食糖。新的成分必须在提供高质量的巧克力糖果方面优于目前可用的替代品，而没有不希望的副作用，价格合理。将测试新成分对人体生理学的影响，以确定其低热量证书并确定耐受性阈值。这种新成分最终将用于食品工业，并能够配制一系列更健康的低糖食品。美味但健康的零食的可用性在对抗肥胖和2型糖尿病增加的趋势方面发挥了作用。

CELLDEX aims to deliver a pleasurable, great tasting chocolate confection with a reduced calorie and sucrose content that will appeal to consumers as an attractive alternative to standard chocolate confections. To achieve this, the project will develop a process to produce a new low calorie bulk sugar replacer from sustainable sources. The new ingredient must out-perform currently available alternatives in providing high quality chocolate confections without undesirable side effects at a reasonble price. The impact of the new ingredient on human physiology will be tested to determine its low calorie credentials and determine the threshold of tolerability. The new ingredient will eventually be available to the food industry and enable the formulation of a range of healthier reduced sugar foods. The availability of tasty but healthy snacks has a role to play in fighting the trend of increasing obesity and type 2 diabetes.
