This book covers the need and market for low-calorie products as well as the legislation relating to such products. The main thrust of the book, however, lies in the coverage of topically important ingredients such as intense and bulk sweeteners, fibre, hydrocolloids and low-calories products. A startling proposal put forward in one chapter, is that low-calories sweeteners may enhance appitite and thus lead to greater food intake.
