Department of Nutrition and Dietetics Diabetes: Sweeteners Patient Information Department of Nutrition and Dietetics Diabetes: Sweeteners Sweeteners can be used as an alternative to sugar in drinks, on cereals, in desserts and baking. They are also used in the manufacturing of sugar-free products such as sweets, diabetic products, diet and sugar-free drinks, light/diet yoghurts and sugar-free squashes. Many sweeteners are available, and some are better for blood glucose levels than others. Sweeteners that don’t increase blood glucose can be used as part of a healthy diet for diabetes These are calorie free and will not affect blood glucose levels. They are available in different forms including tablets, powders and granules. The granulated types are designed to replace sugar spoon for spoon, but they weigh much less than the corresponding amount of sugar. Examples of brands of artificial (low calorie) sweeteners include: Supermarket own brands Canderel Sweetex Stevia Sweet n Low Silver Spoon Hermesetas Splenda Truvia Saccharin These sweeteners contain saccharin, aspartame, sucralose, acesulphame K, cyclamate and steviol as their main ingredients. Sugars and sweeteners which increase blood glucose levels are best limited, even if they are labelled ‘suitable for diabetics’ Patient Information Sugars are all types of carbohydrate that can affect blood glucose levels. They can also affect weight and blood fats if eaten to excess. There is no advantage for people with diabetes in using one type of sugar over another. Examples of sugars include: All types of white and brown sugar Honey Invert sugar Corn, maple and golden syrup Treacle and molasses Fructose Barley malt Rice syrup Maltose Lactose Glucose, glucose syrup and Agave nectar glucose-fructose syrup Sugar blends are a mixture of sugar and artificial sweeteners. Because they do contain some sugar, they contain calories and will affect blood glucose levels to some extent. Examples of sugar blends/sugar substitutes include: Silver Spoon Half Spoon Tate & Lyle Light at Heart Silver Spoon Truvia Baking Blend Splenda Sugar Blend Sucron Sugar alcohols (polyols) are often used in foods labelled as ‘suitable for diabetics’. These sweeteners generally contain calories and some carbohydrate, so will still affect blood glucose, though to a lesser extent than sugar. Consuming large amounts of polyols can have a laxative effect, causing bloating, flatulence and diarrhoea. Foods marketed as “diabetic” or “suitable for diabetics” can also be high in fat, so we do not recommend these products. Diabetes: Sweeteners www.uhcw.nhs.uk 2 Patient Information Examples of polyols include: Lactitol Maltitol Mannitol Sorbitol Xylitol Polydextrose Isomalt Palatinite Erythritol* (contained in Truvia in Polyol syrup UK) Hydrogenated starch hydrolysates (HSH) *Erythritol has virtually no calories and may be less likely to cause stomach upset compared to the other polyols. It’s not clear how the polyols should be counted by people who are adjusting their insulin dose according to the carbohydrate they consume, as not all of the carbohydrate from polyols is absorbed. Cooking and baking with sweeteners You could follow a traditional recipe, but try adapting your recipe to cut calories, fat and sugar. Although there is a certain amount of trial and error involved, many baking recipes work even when the amount of sugar in the recipe is reduced by half. Recipes such as fruit cake, scones or tea breads can be made without sugar as they do not need sugar for bulk like sponge cakes do. Dried fruit will add some sweetness. Satisfactory baking results can be achieved using some of the intense sweeteners if the manufacturer’s instructions are followed. See below for details. Foods such as porridge, custard, milk puddings and stewed fruit can be sweetened with granulated sweeteners. Non-heat resistant sweeteners should be added after cooking as they can turn bitter or lose their sweetness during cooking. Remember that most puddings and cakes are usually high in fat and calories as well as sugar, and should be limited as part of a healthy diet. Diabetes: Sweeteners www.uhcw.nhs.uk 3 Patient Information Sweeteners such as Hermesetas, Splenda, Sweet n Low and Truvia can be used for baking and have guidance on their websites: www.splenda.co.uk www.hermesetas.com www.sweetnlow.com www.truvia.com Safety All sweeteners on sale in the UK have been thoroughly tested for safety up to a level well beyond a reasonable daily intake. Further information on the safety of sweeteners is available from Diabetes UK (www.diabetes.org.uk, or Tel: 0345 123 2399) People who have the metabolic disorder phenylketonuria (PKU) should avoid aspartame.

  • Stevia and Saccharin Preferences in Rats and Mice
    Chem. Senses 35: 433–443, 2010 doi:10.1093/chemse/bjq033 Advance Access publication April 22, 2010 Stevia and Saccharin Preferences in Rats and Mice Anthony Sclafani1,2, Mahsa Bahrani1, Steven Zukerman1,2 and Karen Ackroff1,2 1Department of Psychology, Brooklyn College, 2900 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11210 USA and 2The Graduate Center, City University of New York, 365 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10016 USA Correspondence to be sent to: Anthony Sclafani, Department of Psychology, Brooklyn College, Brooklyn, NY 11210, USA. e-mail: [email protected] Accepted March 23, 2010 Abstract Use of natural noncaloric sweeteners in commercial foods and beverages has expanded recently to include compounds from the plant Stevia rebaudiana. Little is known about the responses of rodents, the animal models for many studies of taste systems and food intake, to stevia sweeteners. In the present experiments, preferences of female Sprague–Dawley rats and C57BL/6J mice for different stevia products were compared with those for the artificial sweetener saccharin. The stevia component rebaudioside A has the most sweetness and least off-tastes to human raters. In ascending concentration tests (48-h sweetener vs. water), rats and mice preferred a high-rebaudioside, low-stevioside extract as strongly as saccharin, but the extract stimulated less overdrinking and was much less preferred to saccharin in direct choice tests. Relative to the extract, mice drank more pure rebaudioside A and showed stronger preferences but still less than those for saccharin. Mice also preferred a commercial mixture of rebaudioside A and erythritol (Truvia). Similar tests of sweet receptor T1R3 knockout mice and brief- access licking tests with normal mice suggested that the preferences were based on sweet taste rather than post-oral effects.

  • The Effect of the Replacement of Fat with Carbohydrate-Based
    a Food Science and Technology ISSN 0101-2061 DDOI http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1678-457X.05516 The effect of the replacement of fat with carbohydrate-based fat replacers on the dough properties and quality of the baked pogaca: a traditional high-fat bakery product Seher SERIN1, Sedat SAYAR1* Abstract Pogaca is a traditional high-fat bakery product in Turkey. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of fat replacement in pogaca formulation by various amounts (5, 10 and 15 g on 100 g wheat flour basis) of inulin, polydextrose and maltodextrin on the properties of dough and quality of pogaca. Dough stickiness values were increased by increasing the amount of fat replacer at the all fat reduction levels (20, 30 and 40%) studied. Extensibility and resistance to extension values of dough were also significantly changed due to the fat replacement. Sensory analysis of pogaca showed that the formulations prepared by maltodextrin and polydextrose generally received higher scores than the formulation prepared by inulin. Dverall, it was observed that up to 30% of the fat can be replaced in pogaca formulation without any decrease in the physical, textural and sensory quality of pogaca. Keywords: dough stickiness; fat replacer; pogaca; sensory analysis. Practical Application: Reducing the fat level of the bakery products has a positive impact on human health. 1 Introduction Pogaca is a traditional bakery product consumed by most of 1997; Akoh, 1998). It has been found that gel-like matrices are the population in Turkey. The studies that examined the dietary formed by carbohydrate-based fat replacers form at the presence habits of various groups of people in Turkey determined that of substantial levels of water, resulting in lubricant and flowing almost 35% of the general population prefer to consume pogaca properties similar to those of fats in some food systems (Hassel, in the breakfast (Sevindi et al., 2007; Unsal, 2008; Güleç et al., 1993; Yackel & Cox, 1992).
