Abstract:
While U.S. consumers want healthier alternatives to foods and beverages, they also want them to taste delicious. Manufacturers are responding to these consumer desires by removing sugars and reducing calories in their products using ingredients from natural sources. Stevia has proven to be a popular solution, but selecting a sweetener that appeals to consumers is just one piece of the puzzle. In this webinar, explore ways to formulate great-tasting dairy foods and beverages with less sugar and fewer calories using stevia and other ingredients.
5 Learning Objectives:
- Understand how consumers perceive sugar and sweeteners
- Learn how to manage consumer taste perceptions
- Understand formulation challenges and solutions to address both sweetness and mouthfeel
- Identify which new stevia options can help manufacturers produce better-tasting reduced-sugar products, even at higher levels of sugar replacement
- Gather the basics of using stevia in dairy foods and beverages
