JUST LIKE SUGAR®
TABLE TOP SWEETENER
BAKING TIPS
Product Number AR160GR-2
Just Like Sugar® Table Top sweetener has the same sweetening power as sugar ounce for ounce. The product is measured by volume and not by weight. If your recipe calls for one cup of sugar use one cup of Just Like Sugar®
Just Like Sugar® pH level in some recipes may drop under 3.5 and will change from a long chain length polymer to a shorter chain product. This makes the product a fructan instead of what is described as fiber. So in reality you get a change but in terms of calories, of carbs, of glucose reactions there is no change. The only change that might be noticeable would be a lowering of the gel structure in high content levels, i.e. 30% by weight.
For butter replacement: When butter is replaced there is a need for the addition of an emulsifier. It is suggested to add a small amount of something like Soya lecithin or Arrowmatic Peco 505 or Arrowmatic Arrowgel. To get a similar flavor if needed add some very small concentration (1/4 oz per 400# of flour) of buterol which is the flavoring in butter. There is also a need to cut the salt content and shorten the creaming stage.
Just Like Sugar® will absorb 3.5 times its weight in liquid such as water, milk etc. In some recipes you may have to add more liquid to obtain the desired consistency.
The fiber in Just Like Sugar® acts as its own thickening agent. In some recipes there will be no need to add thickeners such as Baking Powder, Corn Starch or Cream of Tarter.
