Nutritional evaluation of caloric and non-caloric sweeteners
Project
Project code: MRI-PBE-08-1010-(nicht)-kalorische-süßungsmittel
Contract period: 01.06.2020
- 31.12.2023
Purpose of research: Experimental development
The average daily intake of sugars (glucose and fructose containing sugars) in Germany exceeds the recommended maximum intake recommended by nutrition societies. Excessive sugar consumption is associated with the development of overweight and its comorbidities. Due to these undesirable effects, the National Reduction and Innovation Strategy: Less sugar, fat and salt in ready-made products aims to reduce glucose and fructose containing sugars in foods. Alternative sweeteners are developed to be used in food production processes which mimic the taste of sugar and/or its physical and chemical properties for food production while contributing no or little energy upon consumption in humans. Nutritional and physiological effects of alternative sweeteners especially novel sweeteners are not well understood. This project focuses on the evaluation of effects of established and new sweeteners on human health.
