Sweeteners in shrimp crackers? What are the roles of stevia and licorice? 【Basic Knowledge】

What are the three reasons why sweeteners are used in shrimp crackers, as indicated by the ingredient label?

■Is it true that sweeteners are used in shrimp crackers? Shrimp crackers are often thought to be made only from shrimp, wheat flour, salt, and sugar, but when looking at the ingredient list of certain products, various materials are used, including starch and coloring agents, as well as natural sweeteners like stevia and licorice. ■Why add sweeteners to shrimp crackers? Sweeteners serve three purposes: enhancing umami, enriching texture and flavor, improving preservation, and reducing calories. They are used not just to add sweetness but also as components that affect texture and shelf life. ■I see, this product also contains natural sweeteners! It has been revealed that natural sweeteners like stevia and licorice are used as ingredients in familiar shrimp crackers. Torii also handles stevia and licorice.
