Sweet Success
[Sweetners] Vol. 25 No. 2 Summer 2015 Sweet Success By Judie Bizzozero, Senior Editor In light of increasing consumer demand for less caloric, healthier and “natural” products featuring lower sugar content and non-GMO ingredients, formulators are seeking out versatile ingredients that not only are easy to integrate into food and beverages, but also deliver specific and reliable health benefits. “‘Natural’ sweeteners are gaining favor among consumers due to the increased focus on products, in all categories, that are ‘free-from’ and non-GMO,” said Rudy Wouters, vice president, BENEO Technology Center, Antwerp Area, Belgium. “Consumers are looking to manufacturers to deliver products that are natural, but also lower in sugar content for the maintenance of a more healthy diet and lifestyle.” Clean-Label Trending According to 2014 data from Tate & Lyle, Hoffman Estates, Illinois, 65 percent of consumers in the United States are looking for calories on package labels. In addition to calorie reduction, 2014 data from Harleysville, Pennsylvania-based Natural Marketing Institute (NMI) found 53 percent of consumers are looking for products with simpler ingredient lists. “The dual demand for calorie reduction and simpler ingredient lists makes zero-calorie sweeteners like stevia and monk fruit an ideal option for food and beverage manufacturers. And we’re already seeing manufacturers adopt these trending sweeteners in their formulations,” said Amy Lauer, marketing manager, Tate & Lyle North America. “In fact, stevia and monk fruit are the only high- potency sweeteners to see growth in new product launches from 2013 to 2014 in the United States [Innova, 2014]. Stevia in particular is gaining momentum with a 103-percent increase in new product launches from 2013 to 2014.” Tate & Lyle’s stevia-based zero-calorie sweetener meets consumer demand for low-calorie and low- sugar products and achieves 50 percent or more sugar-reduction levels, Lauer said. -

Thaumatin Is Similar to Water in Blood Glucose Response in Wistar Rats Warid Khayata1, Ahmad Kamri2, Rasha Alsaleh1
International Journal of Academic Scientific Research ISSN: 2272-6446 Volume 4, Issue 2 (May - June 2016), PP 36-42 www.ijasrjournal.org Thaumatin is similar to water in blood glucose response in Wistar rats Warid Khayata1, Ahmad Kamri2, Rasha Alsaleh1 1 (Department of Analytical and Food Chemistry, Faculty of Pharmacy/ University of Aleppo, Aleppo, Syria) 2 (Department of Physiology, Faculty of Sciences/ University of Aleppo, Aleppo, Syria) ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of thaumatin; a sweet tasting protein, compared to a natural sweetener; sucrose and a synthetic one; aspartame on blood glucose level and body weight in male Wistar rats. Sucrose, aspartame, and thaumatin solutions have been administrated orally every day to adult male Wistar rats for 8 consecutive weeks. Within this period, blood glucose was monitored during two hours and body weight was measured every two weeks. It was found that compared to water, aspartame and thaumatin did not elevate blood glucose at all. Also, neither aspartame nor thaumatin affected body weight. Subsequently, thaumatin can be considered as a safer and healthier sweetener than aspartame or sucrose, because it is natural and do not cause elevating in blood glucose. Keywords: Blood glucose, Body weight, Sweetener, Thaumatin, Wistar rat GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT www.ijasrjournal.org 36 | Page International Journal of Academic Scientific Research ISSN: 2272-6446 Volume 4, Issue 2 (May - June 2016), PP 36-42 I. INTRODUCTION Sugar obtained from sugar cane or beet is widely used in many food products to give sweetness, viscosity, and consistency. Furthermore, it has a role in the preservation of foods [1]. -
Use of Sweeteners in Animal Nutrition

During the first part research shows even low-calorie sweeteners seduce the of the fattening period a combination of a vanilla flavour appetite” (1990), “Diet soft drinks - too good to be true?” plus sweetener and a feed without flavour supplement (1987), these were headlines in The Independent and were offered at the same time. Later, the same flavour- the New York Times. Since then the assumption, that sweetener combination was tested with a special vanilla new non-calorie sweeteners support the trend to be slim, flavour (characterised by a slightly bitter, spicy note) has become shaky. Many scientific studies have been without addition of a sweetener (Figures 1 and 2). designed to find out whether non-calorie sweeteners increase the total calorie intake.

What role does taste play? Everyone knows the sensations of taste and smell; they can cause, often to a high degree, pleasant feelings or aversions. In contrast to the senses of seeing and hearing, the senses of smell and taste are not highly developed in humans. Their influence on us, however, is strong. The sense of smell, in particular, is closely asso- ciated with our emotions. -
Fairtrade-And-Sugar-Briefing-Jan13
FAIRTRADE AND SUGAR Commodity Briefing January 2013 FAIRTRADE AND SUGAR iNTRODUCTION Around 80 per cent of the worlds sugar is derived from sugar cane, grown by millions of small-scale farmers and plantation workers in developing countries. This briefing offers an overview of the sector and explores why Fairtrade is needed and what it can achieve. We hope it will provide a valuable resource for all those involved with, or interested in, Fairtrade sugar, whether from a commercial, campaigning or academic perspective. Fast facts: the sugar lowdown • Sugar is one of the most valuable agricultural commodities. In 2011 its global export trade was worth $47bn, up from $10bn in 2000. • Of the total $47bn, $33.5bn of sugar exports are from developing countries and $12.2bn from developed countries.1 • The sugar industry supports the livelihoods of millions of people – not only smallholders and estate workers but also those working within the wider industry and family dependents. • Around 160 million tonnes of sugar are produced every year. The largest producers are Brazil (22%), India (15%) and the European Union (10%).2 • More than 123 countries produce sugar worldwide, with 70% of the world’s sugar consumed in producer countries and only 30% traded on the international market. • About 80% of global production comes from sugar cane (which is grown in the tropics) and 20% comes from sugar beet (grown in temperate climates, including Europe). • The juice from both sugar cane and sugar beet is extracted and processed into raw sugar. • World consumption of sugar has grown at an average annual rate of 2.7% over the past 50 years. -

Classroom Materials developed by the New-YYork Historical Society as a companion to the exhibit Generous support provided by THE NEW-YYORK HISTORICAL SOCIETY Since its founding in 1804, the New-York Historical Society (N-YHS) has been a mainstay of cultural life in New York City and a center of historical scholarship and education. For generations, students and teachers have been able to benefit directly from the N-YHS’s mission to collect, preserve and interpret materials relevant to the history of our city, state and nation. N-YHS consistently creates opportunities to experience the nation’s history through the prism of New York. Our uniquely integrated collection of documents and objects are par- ticularly well-suited for educational purposes, not only for scholars but also for school children, teachers and the larger public. The story of New York’s rootedness in the enslavement of Africans is largely unknown to the general public. Over the next two years, the New-York Historical Society, together with the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, will stage two major exhibitions, with walking tours, educational materials and programs for learners of all ages. The first of these exhibits, entitled “Slavery in New York,” explores the vital roles enslaved labor and the slave trade played in making New York one of the wealthiest cities in the world. In bringing this compelling and dramatic story to the forefront of historical inquiry, “Slavery in New York” will transform col- lective understanding of this great city’s past, present and future. The enclosed resources have been devel- oped to facilitate pre- and post-visit lessons in the classroom and provide learning experiences beyond the duration of the exhibit. -

Abstract: The rum industry is currently worth USD 16 billion, with production concentrated in tropi- cal countries of the Caribbean and Asia-Pacific regions. The primary feedstock for rum production is sugar cane molasses, a by-product of sugar refineries. The main variables known to affect rum quality include the composition of the molasses, the length of fermentation, and the type of barrels and length of time used for aging the rum. The goal of this review is to provide an overview of the impact of these variables on rum quality, and to highlight current challenges and opportunities in the production of rum from molasses. In order to achieve this, we review the relevant contemporary scientific literature on these topics. -

s- > ? A HISTORY OF SUGAR MARKETING THROUGH 1974 U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE / ECONOMICS, STATISTICS, AND COOPERATIVES SERVICE AGRICULTURAL ECONOMIC REPORT NO. 382 ABSTRACT The quota system of regulating the production, importation, and marketing of sugar in the United States through 1974 was an outgrowth of Government regulation of the sugar trade dating from colonial times. Similar systems have developed in most other countries, particu- larly those which import sugar. The U.S. Sugar Quota System benefited domestic sugar pro- ducers by providing stable prices at favorable levels. These prices also encouraged the produc- tion and use of substitute sweeteners, particularly high fructose and glucose sirup and crystalline dextrose in various industries. But sugar is still the most widely used sweetener in the United States, although its dominant position is being increasingly threatened.

The United States Vs. Big Soda: the Taste of Change
The United States vs. Big Soda: from the west and east coast based on the desired use for the revenue. The Taste of Change In order to understand taxing of sugar Hannah Elliott drinks, it is imperative to look back on what has La Salle University happened in legislation, in terms of the taxing of soft drinks. Beginning in the American colonies in the early 1700s, taxation on sugar existed and was Robert Lustig, a pediatric endocrinologist regarded as undesirable and unpopular among the who specializes in childhood obesity once said, colonists. One of the earliest forms of sugar taxing “Sugar is celebratory. Sugar is something that we was the Molasses Act, also known as the used to enjoy. It is evident that now, it basically has Navigation Act of 1733. This act was inflicted by coated our tongues. It’s turned into a diet staple, and the British on the colonists and entailed, “a tax on it’s killing us.”1 In the past decade the prevalence of molasses, sugar, and rum imported from non-British sugar in American processed food and diet has foreign colonies into the North American become a growing domestic concern. It is evident colonies.”4 The colonists were under British rule at that now more than ever, sugar has found its way the time and this tax was imposed out of fear of into almost every food and drink consumed by competition with foreign sugar producers. The Americans, “The United States leads the world in American colonists were unhappy with the tax and consumption of sweeteners and is number 3 in the felt that the British would not be able to supply and world in consuming sugary drinks.”2 Sugar alters meet the colonists demand in molasses. -
