Before we introduce Replaze™Originale-An ideal replacement for sugar, let us understand sugar and its effects better. Sweetness from sugar is one of the first tastes developed within an infant and almost all individuals of all ages love sugar based treats. Some of us are almost addicted to it and some of us believe that for instant energy or 'comfort foods' sugar sweetened desserts are the best.

The basic table sugar that we use is 'sucrose' but one will find various 'cousins' of sucrose such as fructose, glucose in energy drinks, bars and chocolates.

Everyone by now knows that sugar is high on calories, but what everyone dosen't is that sugar has been associated with more that 100 conditions. read more

Owing to the many perils of sugar, scientists kept looking for healthy options to sugar. Human quest for better and safer sweetness alternatives led to the discovery of 'sweetener'. The first sweetener was invented way back in 1879 but commercialized in 1957. Over decades scientists have invented many sweeteners and today we classify sweeteners in two broad categories:

Bulk sweeteners i.e. which are generally less sweet than sucrose and which

replace volume as well as sweetness, and

High intensity sweeteners: which are usually much sweeter than sucrose and

are used in far smaller quantities with the sole purpose of adding sweetness

Replaze™ contains Sucralose- a high intensity sweetener.

Here are critical feature of Replaze™ you would need to know.

Replaze™ is derived from sugar and has a taste similar to sugar. It is 600

times sweeter than sugar and has a clean sweet taste without an aftertaste

(unlike other sweeteners)

Replaze™ is a non-caloric sweetener. Each teaspoon of sugar contains 16 Kcals

but one minitab of Replaze™ contains only 0.2 Kcals with sweetness equivalent to

1 tsp sugar.

Replaze™ is unabsorbed by the body and the body does not recognize it as a

sugar or carbohydrate, hence Replaze™ is safe for diabetics and weight

watchers.

Replaze™ does not contribute to tooth decay

Replaze™ is safe for the entire family including children and pregnant women

Replaze™ Vantage

No aftertaste

Replaze™ (Sucralose) tastes like sugar and has no unpleasant aftertaste hence can be substituted for sugar at all times. In scientific taste tests conducted by independent research organizations, it is found to have a taste profile very similar to sugar.

Heat Stable

Replaze™ is exceptionally heat stable that's why it is ideal for use in baking and cooking apart from your general use in beverages. In studies among a range of baked goods, canned fruits, syrups, jams and jellies, no measurable loss of sucralose occurred during processing and throughout shelf life.

Reduce Caloric Intake

Replaze™ is not metabolized for energy, thus it has no calories. It passes rapidly through the body virtually unchanged, is unaffected by the body's digestive process and does not accumulate in the body. By replacing sucralose for sugar in foods and beverages, Calories can be reduced, or, in many products, practically eliminated.

Suitable for People with Diabetes

Replaze™ is not recognized as sugar or a carbohydrate by the body. Thus, it has no effect on glucose utilization, carbohydrate metabolism, the secretion of insulin, or glucose and fructose absorption. Studies in persons with normal blood glucose levels and in persons with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes have confirmed that sucralose has no effect on short- or long-term blood glucose control.

Does Not Promote Tooth Decays

Scientific studies have shown that Replaze™ (sucralose) does not support the growth of oral bacteria and does not promote tooth decay.

Long Shelf Life

Sucralose assures heat, liquid and storage stability required for use in all types of foods and beverages. It is very stable in acidic products such as carbonated soft drinks, and in other liquid-based products (e.g., sauces, jelly, milk products, processed fruit drinks).

Thus the taste of sucralose is maintained even on cooking, baking or on storing for a period of time.

Replaze™ is a perfect sweetener for all beverages hot and cold as well as suitable for use in all desserts.

Just right for use in teas, coffees, juices, smoothies and cold drinks, Replaze™ promises you the same great taste without calories from sugar.

Replaze™ can be used for sweet treats requiring high temperature cooking or baking like cakes, pies, cookies, fruit salads, gelatin dishes or jams and jellies and even ice-creams & its taste is maintained even on storing.

Sucralose is produced from the raw material regular sugar. The process involves a small, careful changing of sugar molecule structure. Because of the slight change in structure, it passes harmlessly un-absorbed through the human body and has no calorific value, but is 600 times sweeter than sugar.

It produces no influence on blood glucose or serum insulin and is perfectly suitable for use by diabetics. The body does not recognise sucralose as a sugar or carbohydrate & hence practically goes unabsorbed by the body. Sucralose, Replaze™ does not contribute to dental caries and scores over sugar in many many ways.

Safety of Replaze™

Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives, which is an international body of experts evaluating food additives, confirm the safety of sucralose.

More than 100 studies designed to meet the highest scientific standards, over a 20-year period, have clearly demonstrated that sucralose is safe.

The regulatory agencies of more than 50 countries including the UK (2002) and the USA (1998) have approved sucralose, as a food additive. In 1991, sucralose was approved in Canada (1991) and Australia in 1993, and millions of people have consumed it since then.

Approved by

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA)

Health Canada

Food Standards Australia / New Zealand

Japanese Food Sanitation Council

The Joint (Food and Agriculture Organization / World Health Organization)

     Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA)

In conclusion

Sucralose is non-caloric, noncarcinogenic and has no effect on blood glucose or insulin levels nor on other measures of glucose control such as HbA1c. It is therefore ideal for (i) People with Diabetes, (ii) Those on Low-Carb diets or (iii) Anyone trying to reduce sugar intake to meet current healthy eating guidelines. Sucralose makes a perfect sweetener for those keen on reducing their energy intake.
