Unlocking the Secrets of Sugar: Scientists Revolutionize Sweet Substitutes and Immune Cell Research
Originally Published 2 years ago — by SciTechDaily
Scientists have discovered that blends of mineral salts, including potassium, magnesium, and calcium salts, can enhance the taste and mouthfeel of noncaloric sweeteners, making them more similar to real sugar. By reducing the lingering sweetness and improving the texture of these sugar substitutes, low- and zero-calorie beverages can taste more like their sugary counterparts. This research offers a promising solution for replicating the taste of sugar in low-calorie and zero-calorie drinks, addressing the dissatisfaction among consumers with existing sugar substitutes.
