Food ingredients that promote health and reduce the risk of disease are becoming increasingly popular, and thefood industry is being challenged to redesign traditional foods for optimal nutritional value. Non-digestible oligosaccharides (NDOs) possess important physiological properties that are beneficial to the health of consumers, including non-cariogenicity, a low calorific value and the ability to stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria in the colon. Many NDOs are not digested by humans. This property makes them suitable for use in sweet, low-calorie diet foods, and for consumption by individuals with diabetes. In addition to physiological properties, NDOs provide several physicochemical benefits, which make their use as food ingredients particularly attractive. NDOs are water soluble and mildly sweet (typically 0.3 to 0.6 times as sweet as sucrose). Their relatively low sweetness is useful when a bulking agent with reduced sweetness is desirable to enhance other food flavours. The higher molecular weight of NDOs (as compared to mono- and disaccharides) provides increased viscosity, leading to improved body and mouthfeel. BioNeutra is a manufacturer of high quality NDOs. The company currently supplies food manufacturers with VitaFiberTM IMO (isomaltooligosaccharide), and has demonstrated traction in the wholesale market with the ingredient showing utility in a wide variety of processed food products. The goal of this project is to develop recipes where the replacement of sucrose with IMO results in products of very similar characteristics and with good consumer acceptance. The outcomes of this project should support BioNeutra's expansion into the retail and direct-to-consumer markets by showcasing IMO's versatility and application in a variety of end products.

促进健康和降低疾病风险的食品成分越来越受欢迎，食品工业正面临着重新设计传统食品以获得最佳营养价值的挑战。非消化性低聚糖（NDO）具有有益于消费者健康的重要生理特性，包括非致龋性、低热值和刺激结肠中有益细菌生长的能力。许多NDO不会被人类消化。这种特性使它们适合用于甜味，低热量的饮食食品，以及糖尿病患者的消费。除了生理特性之外，NDO还提供了几种物理化学益处，这使得它们作为食品成分的用途特别有吸引力。NDO是水溶性的并且微甜（通常是蔗糖的0.3至0.6倍甜）。当需要具有降低的甜度的填充剂来增强其他食品风味时，它们相对低的甜度是有用的。NDO的较高分子量（与单糖和二糖相比）提供了增加的粘度，从而改善了稠度和粘度。BioNeutra是高质量NDO的制造商。该公司目前为食品制造商提供VitaFiberTM IMO（低聚异麦芽糖），并在批发市场上展示了该成分在各种加工食品中的实用性。该项目的目标是开发配方，其中用IMO替代蔗糖，得到具有非常相似特性的产品，并具有良好的消费者接受度。该项目的成果将通过展示IMO在各种终端产品中的多功能性和应用，支持BioNeutra向零售和直接面向消费者市场的扩张。
