Amorphous sugar particle distribution: NestleRecent Research Landscape

Crystalline sugar dissolves slowly and provides excessive caloric density, which is mitigated by altering the physical phase to amorphous states. This increases perceived sweetness at lower concentrations to reduce ingredient costs and improve nutritional profiles.

What technical problems is Nestle addressing in Amorphous sugar particle distribution?

Uncontrolled lipid migration

(7)evidences

High caloric density and negative health impacts of traditional sugar levels in coatings. Reducing sugar mass while maintaining sensory perception improves nutritional profiles without sacrificing consumer acceptance.

Unfavorable frozen texture degradation

(4)evidences

Amorphous sugar particles in composite confectionery are highly susceptible to moisture migration and recrystallization. Preventing this loss of structural integrity maintains the desired crispness and shelf stability of the product.
