Sugar Substitutes
Xylitol and Erythritol
Xylitol and Erythritol are part of a range of sugar alcohols, or polyols but neither of them are sugars nor alcohols. They provide a sweet taste with fewer kilojoules than table sugar. They are carbohydrates that chemically have characteristics of both sugars and alcohols. However, sugar alcohols do not contain the type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages.
Huletts EquiSweet Erythritol is a low GI and low kilojoule sweetener derived from a variety of fruits and vegetables. Among the sugar alcohols, it has a higher digestive tolerance because about 90% of the ingested Erythritol is readily absorbed and excreted in urine. Its kilojoule value is therefore close to zero, hence it’s considered a low kilojoule sweetener as opposed to Xylitol whose kilojoule levels are not low enough to be legally called a low kilojoule sweetener. Erythritol Sweetener is 60-80% as sweet as sugar. Among the sugar alcohols, Erythritol exhibits many unique features. Erythritol has a higher digestive tolerance compared to all other sugar alcohols because about 90% of the ingested Erythritol is readily absorbed and excreted unchanged in urine. Because 90% is excreted, its kilojoule value is close to zero and it is considered a low kJ sweetener while xylitol is considered a reduced kJ sweetener.
Huletts EquiSweet Xylitol is a low GI sweetener derived from maize corncob fibres and contains no added additives. It is slowly and partially absorbed and metabolised, resulting in very negligible changes in blood glucose levels. Xylitol Sweetener is just as sweet as sugar. It has a reduced kilojoule value which can be helpful in weight control and managing diabetes. It has 40% less kilojoules than sugar. (One teaspoon of sugar contains 67 kJ versus 42 kJ from xylitol). Xylitol is slowly and only partially absorbed in the intestine and too much can cause digestive symptoms such as diarrhoea.
Huletts Syrups and Molasses
Huletts Syrups are made from pure cane sugar, offering rich colour and robust flavour.
Huletts offers an exciting range of traditional and flavoured syrups. They make excellent toppings for pancakes, scones and other tasty breakfast treats. They are also great as ingredients in mouth-watering desserts and sauces because they mix easily, improve product texture and shelf life, retain moisture and they’re perfect for making preserves… There’s a new idea in every squeeze!
Huletts Golden Syrup
The delicious taste of Huletts Golden Syrup brings back sweet childhood memories of Sunday family breakfasts and teatime with friends. A slice of toast, waffles, or even ice cream are better than ever with the traditional sweetness of Golden Syrup. It’s a must-have for baking enthusiasts.
Huletts Maple Flavoured Syrup
Maple Flavoured Syrup first became famous in the USA and Canada for its rich, robust flavour and distinctive smooth texture. Huletts Maple Flavoured Syrup has brought that deliciousness to SA tables. Enjoy the maple goodness in specially formulated recipes that bring out its unique taste, or squeeze it over your favourite breakfast, tea or dessert treat for an even sweeter experience.
Huletts Molasses
Huletts Molasses is traditionally used in baking and cooking, but it can also be used over your daily cereal or porridge, as a spread for crackers or it can be added to smoothies. Basting chicken or turkey with Huletts Molasses will give it a rich colour and taste. Because of its dark and rich colour, stability and flavour enhancing properties, it is often found in a number of familiar foods such as mince pies, puddings, fruit cakes etc.
Huletts Chocolate Syrup
Chocolate Syrup is a rich chocolate flavour that works beautifully on fancy desserts and fun teatime treats alike. It’s smooth and easy to squeeze like all Huletts syrups. Hint: Try decorating that special cake or batch of cupcakes with a few creative squeezes of chocolate flavoured syrup – it’s a great way to get the kids involved too!
How to choose your sugar?
This table will help you to make the right choice of sugar for your cooking and baking
|
TYPE OF HULETTS SUGAR |
CHARACTERISTICS |
WHEN TO USE IT |
WHAT CAN I USE TO REPLACE IT? |
|
Huletts White Sugar |
Larger crystals, pure white colour |
For general use in pastry, cakes and loaves, biscuits and bread. |
You can use castor sugar for all the same applications as you would for standard White Sugar. You can also use Sunsweet Brown sugar but there may be some flavour differences in the finished product |
|
Huletts Castor Sugar |
Finer crystals, pure white colour |
For general use in pastry, cakes and loaves, meringues, biscuits and bread and products such as apple tartlets, chiffon cake and hot cross buns. Also used for decoration and in products where it is consumed in its crystalline form and where standard white sugar would give a coarse feel on the tongue |
You can use standard White Sugar to replace Castor Sugar in some applications but the coarser crystals may affect the mouthfeel of the product |
|
Huletts Icing Sugar |
Sugar that has been ground into a fine powder. It contains a small amount of corn starch to prevent it from lumping |
Used mainly for icing cakes and decoration. There is no point in using icing sugar in products where it is simply going to be included in a dough or batter for baking. |
Difficult to replace as the fine powder imparts particular characteristics to the products in which it is incorporated |
|
Huletts Sunsweet Brown Sugar |
Pale brown raw sugar that contains a small amount of molasses. This imparts a characteristic bittersweet flavour to the sugar |
Used where it gives its characteristic flavour to certain cakes, biscuits and rusks. It may be used for chocolate mud cake, ginger bread, fruit loaves, peanut butter biscuits, brandy snaps, health muffins, health rusks, breads, including rye bread, and macaroons |
You can use standard white sugar if you are prepared to accept a slight flavour change in the product. If you want to retain the characteristic colour of brown sugar, rather use Caramel Brown Sugar |
|
Huletts Caramel Brown Sugar |
Similar to Huletts Sunsweet Brown Sugar but with a small amount of caramel colour added to it and it consequently has a slightly darker colour than standard Sunsweet Brown Sugar. |
Used where the characteristic flavour of Sunsweet Brown Sugar along with a more intense brown colour is required. Huletts Caramel Sugar is used for biscuits and cakes that require colour and flavour, such as whole-wheat scones, whole-wheat loaves and Christmas fruit cakes |
If you specifically need the darker colour then use a mixture of Sunsweet Brown Sugar and Treacle Sugar. However remember that the Treacle Sugar has a strong flavour so only use a small amount of it in the mixture |
|
Huletts Yellow Sugar |
Similar to Huletts Sunsweet Brown Sugar but has a small amount of yellow colour added to it |
Used where the yellow colour is needed in addition to the characteristic flavour of Sunsweet Brown Sugar. It can be used in apple strudel and for preserves such as jams, pickles and chutney |
If you specifically need the yellow colour, use Sunsweet Brown Sugar, just add a few drops of yellow food colour to your mixture to give the right appearance |
|
Huletts Treacle Sugar |
Similar to Huletts Sunsweet Brown Sugar but contains a higher level of molasses. This gives it a darker colour, a stronger flavour and a slightly sticky texture |
Because of the higher molasses content it gives a somewhat different texture and a darker colour to the baked products in which it is used and is also helps with reducing the tendency of baked products to firm and dry out on storage. It may be used for products such as fruit cakes and chocolate fudge cupcakes. It may also be used in microwave baking |
Difficult to replace but you can use any other Huletts sugar and try adding a small amount of Huletts Molasses to your recipe. The molasses has a very strong flavour so you will only need a little of it. |
