Introduction to Chapter
Most often, alternative sweeteners are used to replace nutritive sweeteners in baked goods and other grain-based products in order to create foods with fewer calories. Product development may also be focused on creating baked goods that taste sweet but do not raise blood glucose levels as high as those containing nutritive sweeteners such as sucrose and glucose.
