Sugar substitute (Zusto)

This innovative functional sugar substitute provides a complete and precise 1:1 weight-for-weight replacement for traditional sugar. Its foundation is a unique matrix of water-soluble plant fibers that are not absorbed by the body, guaranteeing minimal caloric content and a zero glycemic index. This product serves as an ideal solution for healthy, dietary, and diabetic nutrition, allowing for the creation of wholesome sweets without compromising on taste.

Thermal Stability: The robust formula is highly heat- and freeze-tolerant, making it suitable for both high-temperature baking and deep-freezing applications without textural degradation or developing off-flavors.

Applications:
Confectionery & Bakery: Enhances cakes, pastries, biscuits, and chocolates with the necessary volume and structural matrix.

Desserts, Jams & Spreads: Provides body and mouthfeel in fruit preparations, mousses, and gelatin-based desserts.

Beverages: Dissolves completely to deliver clean sweetness in functional drinks and syrups.

Key Advantages:

Process Convenience: Eliminates the need for complex recipe recalculations or restructuring of production lines.

Clean Taste Profile: Delivers a well-rounded sweet taste profile without the bitter or cooling aftertaste often associated with synthetic sweeteners.

Storage Recommendation: Due to the naturally hygroscopic nature of soluble plant fibers, this product must be kept in tightly sealed packaging and stored in a cool, dry place to maintain optimal free-flowing properties.
