Tate & Lyle launches DOLCIA PRIMA™ low-calorie sugar; now low-calorie versions of consumers' favourite food and beverage brands can taste the same as the full-sugar versions

摘要

Tate & Lyle, a leading global provider of food ingredients and solutions has announced the launch of DOLCIA PRIMA™ Low-Calorie Sugar, its newest ingredient set to transform the way the food and beverage industry develops low- or reduced-calorie products. DOLCIA PRIMA™ is Tate & Lyle's brand name for allulose, a low-calorie sugar that exists in nature and can be found in small quantities in some fruits and foods people eat every day. It was first identified in wheat in the 1930s. Tate & Lyle's DOLCIA PRIMA™ delivers the satisfying mouthfeel and sweetness of table sugar, but contains 90% fewer calories, so food and beverage manufacturers are expected to be able to significantly reduce the calories in products while maintaining the same taste and enjoyment of sugar that consumers demand. 'One of the biggest challenges our industry faces is reducing calories while maintaining the taste experience consumers expect from their favourite foods and beverages', said Abigail Storms, Vice President, Platform Management, Sweeteners, at Tate & Lyle. 'Now food and beverage manufacturers can contribute to this public health challenge by using DOLCIA PRIMA™ Low-Calorie Sugar. Working with DOLCIA PRIMA™, our culinary teams have learned that it is possible to provide consumers with products with all the taste, all the mouthfeel and all the texture they expect, but without all the calories. In taste trials, consumers ranked low-calorie versions of foods made with DOLCIA PRIMA™ equally with the full-calorie versions'.
