CELLDEX - Development of a low calorie bulk sugar replacer

Celldex的目标是提供一种令人愉悦、味道极佳的巧克力糖果，其卡路里和蔗糖含量较低，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，从可持续的来源生产一种新的低卡路里原糖替代品。在以合理的价格提供没有不良副作用的高质量巧克力糖果方面，这种新成分的表现必须优于目前可用的替代品。将测试这种新成分对人体生理的影响，以确定其低卡路里资质和耐受性门槛。这种新成分最终将可用于食品行业，并使一系列更健康的低糖食品的配方成为可能。美味但健康的零食的供应在对抗肥胖症和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.
