Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel granulated or powdered brown natural slow sugar and a process for manufacturing the same based on esterification. The product obtained, i.e. the novel brown natural slow sugar, can be consumed by anyone regardless of their state of health because it is hypoglycemic, having a glycemia of less than 1 gram. The present invention is based on obtaining a novel brown natural slow sugar by esterification characterized by slow limited athermal reactions, said sugar containing a whole range of dried plant products with health benefits. The novel brown natural sugar obtained according to the present invention can be used in any food preparations for which commercial white natural sugar is normally used, such as cakes, pastries, confections, sorbets and ice cream, juices, all types of beverages, chocolate-based preparations, caramel-based cocoa preparations.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel granulated or powdered white natural slow sugar and to a process for manufacturing same based on esterification. The product obtained, i.e. the novel white natural slow sugar, can be consumed by anyone regardless of their state of health because it has a low glycemic index between 15 and 36.5. Obtaining this novel white natural slow sugar by esterification is characterized by slow limited athermal reactions. The novel white natural slow sugar obtained according to the present invention can be used in all food preparations for which traditional white commercial sugar is normally used, such as cakes, pastries, confections, sorbets and ice cream, juices, all types of beverages, chocolate-based preparations, caramel-based cocoa preparations. The novel white natural slow sugar can prevent dental cavities, obesity, retinopathy and other pathologies.
