Danisco Sweeteners helps food companies develop controlled calorie snacks that appeal to weight-conscious consumers with its delicious formulations for cookies, cakes and wafers made with Litesse polydextrose and Lactitol, which have reduced calories, fat and sugar and can be packaged in 100-calorie (or less) portable portions. Litesse polydextrose is a 1kcal/gm. specialty carbohydrate that offers a wide range of physiological and functional benefits. For example, it replaces sugar and fat while improving flavor, texture and mouthfeel in a wide variety of applications. It also is a prebiotic for improved gut health and is widely recognized as a dietary fiber. Lactitol is a reduced-calorie sweetener derived from milk sugar and plays a versatile role in foods, including baked goods. Its solubility and viscosity closely resemble those of sucrose, and its sugar-like sweetness profile leaves no aftertaste. For more information, contact Donna Brooks at

Remyline AX-FG-P specialty rice starch from A&B Ingredients can reduce fat uptake in tortilla chips by up to 50%. The specialty starch also reduces breakage, improves machinability during processing and can increase chip crispiness. Remyline AXS-FGP is used at a level of 2%-5%, replacing a portion of the corn flour used. When dough is mixed with water, Remyline AX-FG-P hydrates quickly and forms a matrix in the dough. The starch keeps the matrix dense longer since it retains water during the cooking process. Remyline AX-FG-P is a “native starch” produced through a natural process. It is labeled as “rice starch” on the finished package label.
