Red fruit oil (RFO) extract serves as a natural red colorant but exhibits limitations related to solubility and susceptibility to environmental factors such as oxygen, heat, and light-induced degradation. Encapsulation through co-crystallization represents a promising approach to mitigate these challenges. In this context, erythritol is employed instead of sucrose during co-crystallization t…
Erythritol is a beneficial sugar alcohol that can be used as a sugar substitute for diabetic patients. It has 0.2 kcal/g calories and still has 70-80% sweetness with the widely used sucrose. Erythritol production through extraction and chemical synthesis is ineffective due to the small product yield, making the commercial production expensive, so alternative synthesis using biotechnology is …
This study was conducted for 4 months from January-May 2023 at PT. Sinar Sosro Research & Development department. Shifted trend towards the use of Low Calorie Sweeteners (LCS) in carbonated beverages are emerging due to health problems caused by sucrose. However, the use of a single LCS is not efficient due to lacking sweetness profile, therefore a combination of LCS with synergism properti…
