CARBOHYDRATE SUBSTITUTE

摘要

The present invention relates to compositions comprising low Glycaemic Index sugar and a flavonoid for use as carbohydrate substitutes, preferably as a replacement for digestible starch and/or sucrose. Compositions of this type are particularly useful as a sweetener, in the manufacture of foods and beverages, or in the manufacture of medicaments where the compositions are a healthier and therapeutic alternative to sucrose and/or digestible starch.
