  1. In recent years, intestinal health has become one of the most concerned health issues in the world, and the intestinal health market has also become a hot spot for companies, and has directly driven the steady growth of the number of fiber-related claims in the global market. https://eu.echemi.com/ https://eu.echemi.com/ The data shows that from 2015 to 2019, the global compound annual growth rate of new food and beverage products with fiber-related claims was 9%. There are more and more new products on the market that use fiber raw materials as the main selling point of products, and consumers' acceptance of fiber (prebiotics) is also increasing. According to a survey, 68% of consumers said they consumed fiber to promote digestive health. Since a considerable portion of dietary fiber can also be used as a sweetener to replace sugar, dietary fiber + "reduced sugar" provides a new direction for the development of functional sweeteners. Luo Han Guo Sweet Fiber Luo Han Guo is a traditional Chinese medicine and food dual purpose food, which has the functions of clearing heat and detoxification, reducing phlegm and cough, clearing lungs and intestines, and relieving thirst. At the same time, Luo Han Guo contains the sweet substance Luo Han Guo glycoside, which has strong sweetness, no calories, pure naturalness, and good taste. It has been widely accepted by the food and beverage industry in recent years and has become an ideal natural health sugar substitute sweetener. In the US market, the annual growth rate of Luo Han Guo is faster than stevioside because of its advantages such as clean label, pure natural source and good taste. The potential of Luo Han Guo is much more than that. Recently, a company in the United States launched a functional sweet fiber from Luohanguo pomace. The fiber content accounts for more than 70% of the total recommended dietary fiber, and the sweetness is sweeter than sugar. According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO), only 3% of consumers are able to achieve the recommended daily fiber intake through regular diets. Therefore, there is a large demand for products that fill the nutrition gap. As a functional fiber, the product can be used as a sweetener and dietary supplement in food and beverage formulations, and can also be adapted to different applications, such as protein powders, fiber mixtures and powdered beverage formulations.

  2. Stevia fiber sweetener Stevia glycoside, the main component of stevia, is a low-calorie, high-sweetness natural sweetener, which has now become the main natural sweetener. The study also found that the stevia plant also contains high levels of protein, soluble fiber and antioxidants. Recently, the manufacturer and supplier of high-purity stevioside, SECCO announced that it will start commercial production and sales of brand new stevia sweeteners. In addition to the original sweetening effect, the product will also effectively use the stevia Other beneficial ingredients make it a sweetener, but also provide a series of new functions such as antioxidant, protect the intestine, promote digestion, provide more nutrition and so on. Talking about the commercialization of Stevia’s protein, fiber and antioxidants, Maga Malsagov, Chief Executive Officer of Spectrum, said: “Food and beverage companies are in great demand for protein, dietary fiber and antioxidants.” Other sugar substitutes In many applications, dietary fiber can act as a low-calorie food filler, reduce the amount of fat added, lower the freezing point, and increase the sweetness of food. As a low-sweetness sugar substitute, inulin can be used in milkshakes due to its creamy properties. At the same time, good water solubility allows inulin to be added to various types of soft drinks; inulin is used in ice cream and can be sweet The combination of flavoring agents plays a synergistic role, masking the unpleasant aftertaste of some sweeteners. FOS is a natural active substance with a sweetness 0.3-0.6 times that of sucrose. It is a new type of sugar substitute with health functions such as regulating intestinal flora and promoting calcium absorption. At present, many FOS sugar substitute ingredients and technologies for

GOFOS is an oligofructose extracted from beet roots and contains 95% FOS fiber. It can increase the amount of fiber in the formula and reduce the amount of sugar used. Galactooligosaccharides are relatively pure in sweetness, have a low calorific value, have a sweetness of 20%-40% of sucrose, are extremely moisturizing, and have high thermal stability under neutral pH conditions. Galactooligosaccharides and proteins will undergo a Maillard reaction when heated together, and can be used in the processing of bread and pastries. Galactooligosaccharide is a water-soluble dietary fiber with low viscosity, strong moisturization, refreshing taste, low calorific value, no bad texture and flavor, and is a bifidobacterium, acidophilus, etc. in human intestine The excellent nutrient source and effective proliferation factor of beneficial bacteria can improve the digestion and absorption of human intestines. Using galactooligosaccharides, food manufacturers can adjust the sugar, fiber and lactose content of dairy products to meet different nutritional requirements.
