Consumer attitudes and willingness towards sugar reduction trends 

Consumer attitudes and willingness towards sugar reduction trends vary from person to person, but generally, more and more consumers are showing concern and interest in reducing their sugar intake.

They may not believe that sugar reduction products can provide the same taste and quality as traditional products, or they may be unwilling to give up the taste of sweet food.

Although the demand for sugar reduction products is growing, manufacturers also need to continue developing innovative, high-quality sugar reduction products to meet consumer demands for taste and quality.

The advantages and applications of stevia in the sugar reduction market 

The advantages of stevia in the sugar reduction market are:

·  Zero calories: Compared with sugar, stevia has almost no calories, making it an ideal choice for controlling calorie intake.

·  High sweetness: Although stevia is a zero-calorie sweetener, its sweetness is 200-350 times that of sucrose. This means that a small amount of it can achieve sufficient sweetness in applications, thereby reducing calories while maintaining the taste of food.

·  Wide range of applications: Stevia has good stability and can be used in various foods and beverages, including coffee, tea, drinks, baked goods, and candy.

·  Suitable for specific consumer groups: Stevia is suitable for diabetics and those who need to control their blood sugar levels, as well as those who want to reduce their calorie intake.

   In the sugar reduction market, the application of stevia is very extensive. It is used to produce low-calorie, low-sugar, and even sugar-free beverages and foods. It can also be used as a substitute for other sweeteners to produce better-tasting low-sugar products. In addition, due to its zero calorie and harmlessness to teeth, stevia can also be used to produce teeth-friendly products, such as chewing gum and peppermint candy.
