Sugar substitutes face unique challenges related to taste, texture, and functionality in the bakery and confectionery. Despite these challenges, manufacturers are actively experimenting with formulations to create sugar-free or low-sugar variants of cakes, cookies, and candies to cater to health-conscious consumers.

Substituting sugar with alternative sweeteners can alter the texture and mouthfeel of products. Maintaining the desired softness in cookies, moistness in cakes, and crispiness in candies without sugar poses a complex challenge.
In addition, the dairy industry has embraced sugar substitutes in producing low-fat and sugar-free versions of yogurt, ice cream, and other frozen desserts.
