Abstract

New tris (hydroxymethyl) amidomethane and other non-ionic polyols derived from Cannizzaro condensations are reported, which feature molecular masses and carbon atom to hydroxy group ratios similar to those of sucrose; these materials are (in vitro) non- fermentable and accurately reproduce the non-gustatory properties of sucrose, which renders them useful as sugar macronutrient substitutes in low-calorie formulated foods.
