The research aimed to study the effect of stevia, xylitol, and corn syrup on the physical, physicochemical, and sensory properties of velvet tamarind chewy candy (VTCC). The content of sweeteners was optimized using stevia (5.5-6%), xylitol (5.5-6%), and corn syrup (7.5-8.5%) by mixture design (d-optimal) with 3 centerpoints and response surface methodology (RSM). The sweeteners in optimized VTCC consisted of velvet tamarind powder (40.5%), water (40%), stevia (6%), xylitol (6%), and corn syrup (7.5%) which provided the approximation error between prediction and observation values: of color (a* and b*), hardness, adhesiveness, gumminess, bioactive activities, and sensory properties within the range of 0.07-9.69%. The optimized VTCC using stevia and xylitol can reduce the sugar content by up to 60%. The sensory preference scores of VTCC from consumer acceptance were slightly like (6.1-6.9) which indicated that the VTCC with stevia and xylitol can provide satisfaction in all evaluated attributes and can be applied to this concept to create fruit chewy candy using stevia and xylitol.

Postharvest processing plays a crucial role in harnessing the benefits of prickly pear fruit by utilizing betalain as natural colorants to replace artificial colors in model food systems. Prickly pear betalain-enriched gummies were developed using various sugar substitutes, including table sugar, xylitol, stevia, and fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS). These gummies were analyzed for in vitro enzymatic inhibition, anti-inflammatory effects and molecular docking studies for decoding diabetes type-II and skin resilience.

Background: It is crucial to reduce the high sugar content of fruit yoghurts in response to the excessive weight gain epidemic. The use of alternative sweeteners in yoghurts is often associated with the negative sensory attributes that can have an impact on yoghurt liking. The main objective of this research was to investigate the effect of alternative sweeteners and strawberry puree addition on the temporal sensory profile of yoghurt using multiple-intake temporal check all that apply (TCATA).

Article Synopsis
- * In a review of clinical trials, only two out of five showed significant changes in gut microbiota from NNSs like saccharin and sucralose, with these sweeteners possibly worsening glycemic tolerance.
- * Evidence from three out of four cross-sectional studies suggested a link between NNSs and gut microbiota composition, while clinical trials on polyols showed positive prebiotic effects, yet these studies had limitations that compromise their reliability.
