Article Synopsis
- The demand for low-fat foods has led to significant advancements in fat replacers, which replace whole or part of the fat in foods while maintaining similar health effects.
- Fat replacers can be made from carbohydrates, proteins, or lipids and help reduce calorie intake while providing desirable food textures and properties.
- Proper selection of fat replacers is important for different food types, as they aid in weight control and reducing disease risks, but consumers should still focus on overall nutrition and not overconsume these modified foods.
