It is particularly valuable in the production of low calorie foods. Developed and manufactured by Danisco Sweeteners, Litesse is unique in being only partially metabolized by the body. The result is that Litesse contributes only 25% of the calories of sugar, and only 11% of the calories of fats. It can also improve the mouth-feel and texture of calorie reduced foods. Litesse is very versatile allowing calorie reduction, sugar replacement, and fat reduction. Litesse has been labeled as fiber in a number of countries around the world for many years. Litesse is used in confections, beverages, frozen desserts, cultured dairy products, baked goods, nutrition bars and fruit spreads and fillings.
