  • Publication number: 20150132463
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for a reduced-calorie partially-frozen beverage, concentrate syrup, mix and a method for making a reduced-calorie partially-frozen beverage. The freezing point of the partially-frozen beverage is depressed through the use of an L-sugar, such as, for example, L-hexose monosaccharide alone or in combination with other freezing point depressants. In a particular embodiment, L-glucose is added to a reduced-calorie partially-frozen beverage in a range between about 0.1% to about 10% by weight of the finished beverage.
