High sugar intake has brought many health problems, including obesity, diabetes, arteriosclerosis and some other diseases. Sugar is the most important source of energy for human beings, and its importance to the human body cannot be replaced by other nutrients. "Limit sugar" does not mean not eating sugar, "reduce sugar" does not mean reducing staple food, but " manage how much sugar to eat". The World Health Organization suggests that people should control their daily sugar intake below 10% - 5% of the total intake, and adults should add no more than 50g of sugar every day.

Globally, in recent years, the number of new products with sugar-related claims (no added sugar, low sugar, and reduced sugar) continues to grow. This phenomenon is consistent with the change of the global market from high sugar products to a healthier low sugar diet. From 2014 to 2019, the annual growth rate of the released quantity of sugar-reducing products will reach more than 17%.

By reducing sugar, we mean that people are advised to reduce the intake of added sugar in food, but it does not include the sugar in natural fruits and the natural carbohydrates in staple food. At present, the common strategy for reducing sugar is to use sweeteners, but the taste of sweeteners and sucrose are not the same, so we need to use some flavor-modified raw materials to correct the overall sweetness.

For example, yeast extract, which is made of baker's yeast, is rich in free amino acids, peptides, and other flavor components, and belongs to natural flavor raw materials. Yeast extract has a certain role in assisting the development of sugar-reducing food. The main effects include: it can directly improve the sweetness of sugar-reducing products and enrich the overall flavor; At the same time, it can be used together with sweetener to mask the odor of sweetener.

As a common food in Europe and the United States, cereals have been developed for a hundred years. Its products are diverse and have many brands. Some products will be flavored with sugar, honey, and syrup, so the added sugar content will be relatively high. If we try to keep the sweetness of cereal products, However, reducing the use of high-calorie sugar and developing low sugar cereals with good taste may be more popular with some consumers. The following application is the test of YE in helping sugar-reducing cereal products.
