Bulking Agents

With the growth in sugar reduced or low sugar products, demand has increased for sugar replacers and bulking agents.

Sugar is still a great product. As well as providing sweetness and enhancing the flavour of many products, sugar provides a stable filler to products such as chocolate, helps control water activity in products such as jams and fruit concentrates, depresses the freezing point in frozen products and has a host of other roles.

However, the calorific content of sucrose, along with its impact on glycaemic index and links to obesity, mean that food technologists must sometimes consider alternatives to sugar.

Bulking agents can be classified into two broad groups:
nutritive and non nutritive.

Non-Nutritive Bulking Agents

Non-nutritive bulking agents are usually carbohydrate-based products that are only partially absorbed by the body. Non-nutritive bulking agents tend to have varying degrees of sweetness, and often need to be supplemented with high intensity sweeteners.

Citrus Fibre
HERBAFOOD, a division of Herbstreith & Fox, also produces a range of fibres including Herbacel AQ Plus citrus fibre. This product has a high water holding capacity and will disperse easily in cold water. Trials in HWL’s test kitchen indicate that it can be used to provide a viscous mouth feel to beverages and fruit products.
