Dive Insight:
随着消费者在数量越来越多的情况下,制造商试图寻找新的方法来减少糖,而无需牺牲味道,这是为儿童创造食物时更加艰巨的任务,这些儿童臭名昭著,并准备拒绝苦味。
自2020年成立以来,以色列的Sweet Victory旨在利用技术来遏制消费者对糖的渴望。今年早些时候,它推出了chewing gum targeted at adults其中包含法国,以色列和巴拿马的Gymnema Sylvestre,并计划将其带到美国
在一份新闻稿中宣布,甜战胜胜利ory co-founder Shimrit Lev explained how the botanical worked. "The atomic arrangement of bioactive gymnemic acid molecules is actually similar to that of glucose molecules," Lev said. "These molecules fill the receptor locations on the taste buds and prevent activation by sugar molecules present in the food, thereby curbing the sugar craving."
Sweet Victory said gymenma sylvestre is a child-safe herb that has been used for over 2000 years in ayurvedic medicine. Researchfrom the University of Mumbai发现印度草药具有抗糖尿病特性。
这家初创公司说,开发具有专为孩子们设计的味道的产品是吉瓦丹和甜蜜胜利的长达一个月的工作。Sweet Victory的成人口香糖具有强烈的薄荷风味。这家初创公司表示,它为孩子的口香糖选择了tutti-frutti风味,因为它是儿童流行的三种风味之一。
列夫在新闻稿中说:“为孩子们开发这种口香糖的最大挑战是创建大胆的水果味咀嚼口香糖,以克服草药体操的苦味。”Sweet Victory联合创始人Gitit Lahav表示,在这里,Givaudan为初创公司提供了有关调味料的指导,因为两家公司使用成分巨头的技术来测试产品。
拉哈夫说:“ [Givaudan]帮助我们改善了产品,并开发了一种非常美味但有效的产品 - 一种甜蜜的享受,可以改变饮食行为并帮助父母控制孩子的日常糖消费。”
In a trial conducted with children in Israel, the U.S. and France, children enjoyed the gum but were not able to eat sweet candy afterward because their sugar receptors were blocked, according to Sweet Victory.
这USDA recommends任何2岁及以上的人将添加糖的摄入量不到每日卡路里的不到10%;在2,000卡路里的饮食中,这将等同于不超过200卡路里的卡路里或大约12茶匙的糖。但是,在2017年至2018年,2至19岁儿童的平均每日摄入量为17茶匙。学习找到童年的糖消耗会导致代谢综合征,糖尿病和心脏病。
While the sugar-blocking functionality of gymnema is one way to address how consumers taste sweetness, another path is by playing with the senses.A Dutch research group found人们能够说出味道和香气之间的差异的能力有限,因此可以使用香气来增强甜味,并允许制造商减少食物的糖含量。
