Sugar replacements are commonly used in beverages, ice creams, powdered drink mixes, puddings, sauces, jellies, candies, dairy products, and other refined foods. Consumers are more health-conscious these days, and they choose to eat a balanced diet. Table sugar, for instance, which is high in calories, is increasingly being replaced by natural sugar alternatives derived from ingredients such as honey and maple syrup in the food and beverage industry.
