FOSSENCE® can be used in cooking and baking, although it has some unique properties compared to regular sugar. FOSSENCE® is heat-stable that makes it suitable for various food applications, including bakery items like cakes, cookies, and biscuits. FOSSENCE® behaves in a similar way to sugar in most applications. It can form a cream with butter or fat, just like sugar does. While it provides sweetness, its primary benefit lies in promoting gut health by selectively supporting beneficial gut microbiota. Along with alternate sweetener in combination (maltitol or high intensity sweeteners), FOSSENCE® can potentially replace entire sugar component of sugar rich bakery product like cake/cookies. FOSSENCE® also as humectant and retain moisture in bakery products to keep fresh for longer period and also improve texture.
