It seems nestle have found a way to reduce sugars and naturally increase prebiotic fibres . Just wondering have they decided to dump the plan? I see mentioned as having an interest here. To me it looks like they all only have an interet in sugar reduction rather than replacement. I think this is driven by poor commercial performance on those re coca cola etc
14 Jul 2023 --- Nestlé has launched a new multifunctional sugar reduction technology that can slash up to 30% of intrinsic sugar in ingredients such as malt, milk and fruit juices. The solution also increases prebiotic fibers in milk-based products, which can improve gut health.
The technology can be applied across different product categories as it can also be used to manufacture low-lactose and skimmed milk-based products.
Nestlé uses an enzymatic process to produce its new ingredient, which does not affect the taste and texture of the products. It also eliminates the need for added sweeteners or bulking agents to replace the volume of the eliminated sugar.
“Sugar reduction across our portfolio remains a top priority,” says Stefan Palzer, chief technology officer at Nestlé.
“This new technology is a true breakthrough, as we can reduce sugar without adding sweeteners while preserving a great taste, all at a minimal cost increase. In addition, our scientists discovered that sugar reduction generates prebiotic fibers that support the microbiome, which is an additional benefit.”
The company is now accelerating the global roll-out of its solution “across formats and categories.”
