Bulking sweeteners, such as sugar alcohols and the newer, rare sugars allulose and tagatose, can require usage levels that are not commercially viable. Plus, parents might be hesitant to purchase cereals with these sucrose substitutes because of a lack of familiarity. Meanwhile, high-intensity sweeteners lack the multifaceted functionality and taste of sucrose and fructose and are not suitable for children whose sweet tooth could use subduing towards lower levels of sweetness in foods.

Creating lower-sugar alternatives to high-sugar dairy products has becomes especially important considering that, according to the CDC’s 2022 National Diabetes Statistics Report, some 130 million Americans—around one-third of the total population—have diabetes or pre-diabetes, and more than 10% don’t even know it. But the dairy industry has not been asleep at the wheel when it comes to this crisis.

Replacing sugar is more complex than simply replacing sweetness. Sugar carries flavor, enhances mouthfeel, provides bulk, is essential for browning through the Maillard reaction with amino acids, and attracts and retains moisture. In cookies and biscuits, for example, sugar interfaces with flour and fat to affect texture, firmness and spread. Without sugar, products may not crystallize properly, aerate, or set.
