Sugar-threat or challenge: An Assessment of the impact of technological developments in the high - fructose corn syrup and sucrochemicals industries.

By: Thomas, Clive.
Material type: materialTypeLabelBookSeries: IDRC - 244e. Publisher: Ottawa : International Development Research Centre, 1985Subject(s): Sugar | MolassesSummary: This study assesses the threat to the traditional role of sucrose as the leading sweetener brought about by several technological innovations and the challenges afforded by similar innovations in sucrochemistry. The major threat derives from two sources: the commercialisation of high sucrose syrup made from corn and its possible extension to other carbohydrate sources and the development of a new generation of noncaloric sweeters, principally aspartame.
