AI Technical Summary
Existing diabetic honey substitutes, such as those produced by the Dunakesz Cannery, are not sufficiently honey-like in taste, texture, and viscosity, and contain higher energy content due to the presence of sucrose, posing health risks and being inefficient to produce.
A diabetic honey substitute composed of fructose, sodium cyclamate, caramel, potassium sorbate, honey aroma, malic acid, and water, with specific weight percentages, is formulated to mimic the taste, texture, and viscosity of acacia honey while being low in energy and sucrose-free, using hydrogenated starch for improved production efficiency.
The new formulation achieves a honey-like product with lower energy content, preventing tooth decay and reducing production time and costs, while maintaining similar sensory qualities to acacia honey.
Abstract
Description
The invention relates to a diabetic honey substitute containing fructose, sodium cyclamate, caramel, potassium sorbate, honey flavor, malic acid and water. The users and consumers of diabetic honey substitute are the mass of overweight people suffering from diabetes (diabetes) and malabsorption disorders. Tennek is extremely similar to acacia honey in taste, texture, color, and viscosity, with the positive difference that it has a much lower energy content and contains no sucrose at all. The energy content of 100 g net weight of the diabetic honey substitute according to the invention is 754 kJ, while that of acacia honey, depending on the place of production, is 2510-3350 kJ. Honey substitute made from other raw materials known in the food industry. The only similar product known and produced in the food industry was a diabetic honey substitute, which was produced by the Dunakeszi Canning Factory years ago from the following raw materials: carboxymethylcellulose, sodium cyclamate, saccharin, honey flavor, malic acid and water. DE(OS) 4208331 describes a honey substitute containing sucrose, glucose, water and herbal extract. This product is completely different in composition from our invention and contains sucrose, thus its energy content is higher. We have come to the realization that by using hydrogenated starch and adding sodium cyclamate, caramel, potassium sorbate, honey flavor, malic acid and water in the amounts according to the invention, we obtain a product that is much more markedly honey-like (taste, color, viscosity). It does not ferment, so it does not cause tooth decay, unlike honey. Its production is much more economical, less time-consuming and costly than the product made in the Dunakeszi Canning Factory, where the carboxymethyl cellulose must be soaked for 24 hours and then mixed until lump-free. The diabetic honey substitute of the invention consists of fructose, sodium cyclamate, potassium sorbate, caramel, honey flavor, malic acid and water, as follows: 9-87.4% by weight hydrogenated starch, 4.6-83% by weight fructose, 0.04-0.06% by weight sodium cyclamate, 0.08-0.15% by weight caramel, 0.01-0.2% by weight honey flavor, 0.04-0.06% by weight malic acid and 7-8% by weight water. Our invention is described based on the following example. % hydrogenated starch, 73 % fructose, 0.04 % sodium cyclamate, 0.08 % potassium sorbate, 0.08 % caramel, 0.01 % honey flavor, 0.04 % malic acid and 7.75 % water are mixed and heated to 70 °C.
