Sugar Substitutes: Market Outlook

Sugar, a carbohydrate used in many foods for its sweet taste, is derived from various sources such as sugarcane. Monosaccharide (simple sugar), galactose, and fructose are among the more common types of sugar. The sugar that humans consume is known as sucrose, which – when consumed – will hydrolyse into glucose and fructose. Sugar is mainly used in bakery products and commercial beverages and as a sweetener.

Regular consumption sugar can lead to weigh gain, increased risk of heart diseases, acne, diabetes, increased risk of cancer, depression, accelerated ageing of skin, and fatty liver, among other health risks. With growing health consciousness, there has been a shift in consumer preference towards sugar substitutes. Sugar substitutes are food additives that impart the same taste as sugar, but contain less food energy as compared to any other sugar-based sweeteners.
