a Functions are in addition to serving as a fat replacer.<br />

conventional functional <strong>and</strong> physical properties of fats <strong>and</strong> oils in foods but contribute<br />

few or no calories because of reduced susceptibility to hydrolysis <strong>and</strong>/or absorption<br />

in the lumen. Possible strategies, rationale, <strong>and</strong> examples are as follows:<br />

1. Replace the glycerol moiety of the triacylglycerol with alternative alcohols<br />

(e.g., carbohydrates, polyols, neopentyl alcohol). This ensures steric protection<br />

of the ester bonds. Branching interferes with hydrolysis by pancreatic<br />

lipase. Examples are sucrose fatty acid esters, sucrose polyesters, other<br />
