Abstract

Modern people prefer foods and snacks with high sugar content, and as the consumption rate increases, the obesity rate worldwide is increasing every year, along with its severity. Therefore, in this paper, the reduction of the sugar content in jam was experimented with, which is a problem due to its high sugar content, and to report the possibility of healthy functional rice jam by using Palmyra palm sugar, a natural sweetener consumed by diabetic patients. As a result of the experiment, Palmyra palm sugar, which lowered the sugar content to 45%, showed a high antioxidant effect and overall preference for rice jam, suggesting that it could be a potential health functional rice jam, and it is expected to be an opportunity to increase the frequency of palm sugar intake.
