Jok n Al Orange Marmalade

These have been designed with the diabetic diet very much in mind, although their low calorie value (approximately one quarter of that of regular jams) will also appeal greatly to people who are seeking low energy jam substitutes for weight control or for other reasons.

Sucrose (sugar) has been replaced in these products by a combination of polydextrose, fructose and sucralose. Sucralose is an artificial sweetener derived from sugar. Fructose has a relatively low glycemic index value so is absorbed slowly into the bloodstream, and polydextrose and sucralose have virtually no effect on blood glucose levels.

A priority during product design has been to give these jam spreads an attractive appearance and spreadable texture, while maintaining a clean fresh fruit taste.

Just enough preservative has been added to give the products good keeping qualities once opened, as they do not possess the inherent resistance to yeasts and moulds which is imparted by high sugar levels.
