Technological tests showed that zephyr production is not possible without sugar or sugar substitutes.<\/p>\n<p>Sensory analysis studies were performed on all types of pastilles. Moisture, ash content, caloric content, texture, etc. tests were performed for the best-evaluated candy types and analyzes were performed by interpreting the obtained results.<\/p>\n<p>The various types of sweets matched the safety requirements and were microbiologically safe. Based on the glucose changes in capillary blood test, the obtained results showed that the pastilles without added sugar are more suitable for healthy and type II diabetic volunteers.<\/p>\n<p>Sem Hansen, a student of the Chemistry study programme, was consulted by Dr. Ingrida Kraujutien\u0117 (KUAS) and doc.
