What it is
Not In Regular Preserves is a blend of ingredients designed to mimic the texture and sweetness of traditional fruit preserves without using added sugar. It typically contains a mix of bulking agents, sweeteners, and thickeners to achieve the desired consistency and taste.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use this blend as a sugar substitute in "sugar-free" or "reduced-sugar" versions of jams, jellies, and fruit spreads. It helps provide body, sweetness, and a jam-like texture without the calories and impact on blood sugar associated with regular sugar.
Health notes
Ingredients commonly found in these blends, such as sugar alcohols and artificial sweeteners, have been evaluated by regulatory bodies. The FDA generally recognizes many of these sweeteners as safe (GRAS) when used as intended. JECFA and EFSA have also evaluated various sweeteners and thickeners, establishing safety assessments. Evidence on the long-term health effects of consuming blends of these ingredients at typical dietary levels is still being studied, and some individuals may experience digestive discomfort from sugar alcohols.
