Impact of Maltitol and Sorbitol on Technological and Sensory Attributes of Biscuits

Overconsumption of sugars in diets is associated with many health problems, including dental diseases, diabetes and obesity. However, removing sugar from products such as biscuits is still a challenge for manufacturers and has been limited in Europe since the evolution of the EU regulation in Januar...
