Oral Health - It is well understood that Danisco's sugar free ingredients Litesse®, Lactitol and Xylitol do not promote tooth decay, and that they can be used to create great tasting products that are safe for the teeth and therefore contribute to improved oral health. Xylitol is the only sweetener that is clinically proven to be cariostatic, as it actively reduces the development of tooth decay.
Added Value with Science
New functional food ingredients must be proven safe and effective at the intended use levels. Danisco undertakes a full programme of scientific substantiation. This usually involves a combination of in vitro, human (clinical) and metabolism studies and government approvals must be obtained both for the ingredient and for any proposed claims. We know that new food products must meet consumer expectations in terms of intended benefits, appealing taste and quality at an affordable price.
Great Taste a Priority
Ultimately, consumers will select the foods and beverages that offer health benefits together with excellent taste and flavour. At Danisco, we're confident that our ingredients can also improve the flavour, texture and mouthfeel of a wide range of food products. We've mastered many great tasting formulations that are in the marketplace today.
