pixabayFood and beverage sugar reduction is not just the exclusive sweetener, as the sugar reduction revolution sweeps the globe, in addition to innovation at the raw material level, a variety of sugar-reducing black technology has emerged, technically reducing the addition of sugar without any impact on the taste of the product.one of the sugar-reducing techniques is to convert fructose and lactose using enzymes into probiotics. In the process of enzyme transformation, will not change the texture of the product itself taste, but can increase the body's beneficial dietary fiber, play a good role in protecting the intestines, and effectively reduce the sugar content of more than
30%
.DuPont: Converting Lactose into
GOSDuPont recently launched a new variety of enzymes
Danisco Nurica
, which reduces the total sugar content of dairy products by more than
35
% by naturally converting lactose into in-place to produce probiotic dietary fiber, and meets the needs of lactose insatiable populations.common lactase breaks down lactose into glucose and semi-lactose, and
Nurica
can further convert semi-lactose into low-polymer semi-lactose (
GOS
).
GOS
is a kind of water-soluble dietary fiber, low viscosity, strong moisturizing, non-binding minerals, refreshing taste, low heat value, sweetness of
2 0% to 40%
, no bad texture and flavor, is the human intestine Bifidobacteria, lactobacillus acidophilus and other beneficial bacteria excellent nutritional sources and effective proliferation factors, can improve the digestion and absorption function of the human intestine.Image Source:

is an important ingredient in infant formula and, in addition to stimulating the proliferation of beneficial bacteria in the gut, can also help promote the absorption of human minerals and improve satiety.
the
of Nurica's products insethers the enzyme through heat treatment, ensuring the stability of
GOS
in fermented dairy products.during the trial period,
Nurica
did not have a detectable effect on the acidification process, taste and texture, producing stable, high-quality fermented dairy products that meet consumer health expectations. While any dairy product can benefit
nurica
, the current formula is best suited for fresh fermented dairy applications.using
Nurica
, food manufacturers can adjust the sugar, fiber and lactose content of dairy products to meet different nutritional requirements, and ultimately reduce the amount of sugar in milk, depending on the lactose content in the substitut.Better Juice
: Convert fructose into dietary fiberThe Israeli-based
Better Juice
is the first start-up to convert fructose from orange juice into dietary fiber. Orange juice contains vitamins, minerals and many other beneficial nutrients, including three types of sugar.

says its "game-changing" enzyme technology naturally converts all types of fructose into healthy probiotic fibers and other hard-to-digest sugars.Photo Source:
Better Juice
uses non-GMO microorganisms and a continuous process to convert sugar into dietary fiber. Microbes contain enzymes associated with the bio-conversion activity of sugars, which convert different sugars into elements that are as difficult to absorb as dietary fiber.this process does not add or remove any substances from the juice, thus maintaining the texture and flavor of the juice and ensuring that the inherent vitamins of the juice are intact. After processing the juice, or 100 percent pure juice, but less sugar. This technique can reduce the amount of sugar in orange juice
30
% to
80
% sugar. This makes it easy to meet
FDA
minimum sugar reduction
25
%,
EFSA
minimum reduction of
30
% sugar requirements.Consumers' urgent need for fiber In today's increasingly fine dietary composition, dietary fiber is recognized by the nutritional community as a class VII nutrient, and traditional six nutrients - protein, fat, carbohydrate, vitamins, minerals and water side by side. According to a major review by the World Health Organization (
WHO
), the global average fiber consumption is still well below the recommended daily intake of
25,
grams, and dietary fiber supplementation in the diet has become an urgent need.dietary fiber is very important for human health and has a positive effect on human digestive function, intestinal exercise, satiety
/
weight control, intestinal probiotics and blood sugar regulation. With the development of fortified foods, beverages and food supplements, consumers are increasingly aware of the health benefits of dietary fiber and their interest is growing, with survey data showing that more than
93 percent
of consumers believe dietary fiber is good for their health.
91% of
consumers believe dietary fiber improves digestive function,
68% of
consumers say dietary fiber can increase their satiety, and
63% of
consumers say dietary fiber can make them eat less per day.

Innova Market Insights 2018
Consumer Survey,
44
% of consumers in the United States are increasing their consumption of fiber, and
33
% of consumers in the United Kingdom are increasing their consumption of fiber. At the same time, fiber-based new product launches have achieved a compound annual growth rate of
21
%, and the global dietary fiber market will reach
US$
4.31 billion by
2020
this background, can meet both sugar reduction and fiber increase two important health requirements, enzyme conversion technology undoubtedly has great market prospects.
