What is Sugar-Free Ice Cream? Table sugar, sucrose, is the primary sweetener used in ice cream and represents about 15-20% of its weight. In gelato, dextrose is also used to improve chew and it adds another 3-4%. From a taste standpoint sugar has long been by far the best sweetener, easy to use, cheap and has no aftertaste. But sugar can contribute to a number of health problems, especially, in this ever-fattening world, high blood pressure, obesity and diabetes. Scientists have been looking for a sugar substitute since the late 18 th century. The first alternative to be produced was saccharine, still a common table item you find in those little pink packets. In 1965 Aspartame, also known as NutraSweet was developed. It is about 200 times sweeter than sugar, so, while it has about the same calories per gram of sugar, so much less is needed. Over the years a number of other artificial sweeteners were developed but each had various problems including a negative aftertaste. Maltitol, a disaccharide made either from corn or tapioca starch, is used as a sugar substitute. It has 75-90% of the sweetness of sucrose (table sugar) and nearly identical taste properties. It is harder to digest than sugar, adding to its benefits. This poor absorption results in maltitol having about 60% less calories than table sugar. For ice cream manufactures, maltitol has a number of advantages. It has just half the calories of sugar but is less efficiently absorbed, giving it a total of 60% less absorbed calories. It does not promote tooth decay, and has a lesser effect on blood glucose, making it suitable for diabetics. It is slightly more expensive than sugar but not excessively so. It can be substituted 1:1 for sugar, so it is easy to work with. It has no aftertaste and in fact is impossible to distinguish from table sugar. If consumed in large quantities it has a slight laxative effect, but one would have to eat at least five large scoops of gelato/day before any possible effect might occur.
Since base made with maltitol contains no table sugar, it is considered sugar free. But our regular paste flavors are made with a small amount of dextrose, which is processed into fructose, a much sweeter sugar, by heating for many hours with lemon juice (citrate), which as you know also contains vitamin C. If you want to eliminate the fructose, please specify sugar-free paste. Some years ago, the European Union changed the classification of sugar-free fruit pastes to No sugar added. This is because there is of course some natural sugar in all fruit although most of it is dextrose. Aside from the EU, no other country requires this labeling, so we use the term Sugar-Free which we think is clearer. ALL DREAM CONES PRODUCTS ARE AVAILABLE IN SUGAR-FREE
