[Update about reformulated beverages with less and free sugars for Spain and Portugal]
Abstract
If we want to carry out sugar-free alternative beverages and reformulations of the beverages with full sugar in which they are reduced, at the same time we need to give a good palatability and reduce sweetness taste. An appropriate strategy is the use of different low and non-calorie sweeteners that can also be used as a tool to reduce the sugar and calorie content of food and beverages using low and non-caloric sweeteners adequately. Consumers may control the consumption of foods and beverages for decreasing compensatory effects and indulgence that avoids not reducing effectively the total intake of sugar and calories in the diet. Reformulation approaches have begun to be made for existing soft drinks to reduce the sugar content since the beginning of the 21st century, together with the market increase of alternatives without sugar or without added sugars. This sugar reduction has been possible and the percentage of beverages low calorie soft drinks have increased significantly since 2016.
Para poder llevar a cabo bebidas con alternativas sin azúcares y reformulaciones de las existentes en las que se reduzca el azúcar, tanto para garantizar una palatabilidad como para reducir el dulzor, una estrategia adecuada es el uso de los distintos edulcorantes. Estos, además, se pueden usar como herramienta para reducir el contenido de azúcar y de calorías de los productos alimenticios y usando los mismos de forma adecuada controlando el consumo de alimentos y bebidas que eviten efectos compensatorios y de indulgencia que disminuyan no reducir de forma eficaz la ingesta total en la dieta de azúcar y calorías. Desde prácticamente los inicios del siglo XXI, aparte del crecimiento de las alternativas sin azúcar o sin azúcares añadidos, se empiezan a realizar planteamientos de reformulación de las bebidas refrescantes existentes para reducir el contenido en azúcares que han posibilitado que la reducción de azúcares y el porcentaje de bebidas refrescantes bajas en calorías se incremente de forma muy notoria desde el año 2016.
