Document Summary
Non-nutritive substitutes for sugar which reduce calories contributed by sweetener to finish product; calorie free. Used in sugar free candies and gum. No gaseous affect like other sugar alcohols. Found in dry mixes: crystal light, diet iced tea. Bulking agents necessary element added to non-nutritive sweeteners to occupy the same volume/space and texture as sugar. Macronutrient substances used to provide similar texture. Corn syrup produced by acid hydrolysis and boiling high temperatures to extract carbohydrate from corn starch. Conversion to hfcs - high fructose corn syrup. De disguises the use of corn syrup. Refers to sweetening capacities of corn syrups. Higher de less viscous the liquid. High-conversion corn syrups have a de of 58 or greater. Solubility of sugar depends on the temperature of the solvent (liquid) Solution homogenous mixture of solvent and solute. More sugar is dissolved than is usually soluble at particular temperature. Produced by boiling mixture to dissolve all sugar (100*
