  • Publication number: 20230217952
    Abstract: Described herein are frozen dessert compositions containing allulose and low-sugar syrups and/or solids, along with use of the allulose and low-sugar syrups and/or solids in frozen dessert compositions. Beneficially, the compositions described herein reduce added sugars and/or caloric content of a frozen dessert while overcoming formulation limitations of low- or reduced-sugar frozen dessert products, including matching the hardness, texture, and/or sweetness of their full-sugar counterparts.

  • Publication number: 20220248731
    Abstract: Described herein are food product compositions comprising a sugar reduction solution comprising a rare sugar, xylo-oligosaccharide, or a combination thereof as a partial or complete replacement for a nutritive sweetener. Various food products containing compositions described herein and methods of making the same are also described. Beneficially, compositions comprising the sugar reduction solution described herein are more stable compositions that do not exhibit syneresis and/or enable the starch content contained therein to be reduced in comparison to full-sugar starch-containing products.

  • Publication number: 20220211090
    Abstract: A binding syrup composition for formulating food products containing allulose and low sugar syrups is provided. The binding syrup composition overcomes limitations of allulose-containing products including product stickiness and failure to maintain shape and texture of the products. More particularly, the binding syrup compositions described herein contain low sugar syrups with low mono- and di-saccharide content in combination with allulose to provide binding and textural attributes to the allulose-containing food products that are comparable to full sugar products. Food products containing the allulose binding syrup compositions described herein and methods of making the same are also provided. Beneficially, food products having reduced caloric and sugar content are provided when employing the allulose-containing binding syrup compositions described herein.
