METER Group Food Scientists to Present New Research Findings During Live Webcast: "Substituting Sugar: Pros and Cons of Top Alternative Sweeteners"

Findings will show how food companies can combat challenges affecting taste, texture, and shelf life 

PULLMAN, Wash., Nov. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- METER Group Lead Food Scientist, Dr. Zachary Cartwright, and METER Group R&D Lab Manager, Mary Galloway, will release new research findings during a live webcast at 12:00 pm ET/ 9:00 am PT, on Tuesday November 15, 2022. Register here.

Demand for snacks and treats continues to grow. Innovative new sweeteners abound. But in the scramble to develop the next great clean-label snack, food companies are finding that each sugar substitute comes with a special set of challenges.

Since substitutes don't perfectly mimic sugar's characteristics, formulators are left with a complicated job: Finding new ways to achieve the sugary taste, texture, shelf-life, and appearance that will satisfy consumers. Attendees will learn:

• The pros, cons, and frequent challenges associated with five top alternative sweeteners
• The scientific concepts that explain sugar's unique characteristics
• How formulators can use water activity measurements to minimize the challenges that come with sugar substitutes
• How blending different sugar alternatives can yield better results

Three randomly selected registrants will win a free sugar substitution lab consultation with Mary Galloway and Dr. Cartwright (a $3,220 value). Register now!
