Project description
 

The main goal of the PROJECT is to identify / implement suitable combinations of natural intensive
sweeteners and low calorific bulk materials for replacement (at least 30% in compliance with the legal framework)
sugar (s) in a number of reference products from the confectionery sector, in particular spread spreads (hazelnut and
chocolate paste) and various praline fillings (praline, ganache and fruit filling). Given the high sugar content in
such foods, the implementation of alternative sweeteners will lead to a significant calorie reduction.
