Foods with high sugar content are one of the foods that are quite popular with some Indonesian people, this is based on data from the 2018 Indonesian Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) which found that the level of consumption of sweet foods (87.9%) and sweet drinks (91.49%) in Indonesia is very high. Judging from these data, it is not surprising that many Indonesian people suffer from Diabetes.
In 2019, the number of Diabetes sufferers in Indonesia was 10.7 million, because of this, Indonesia was ranked 7th as the country with the highest number of Diabetes sufferers in the world (Source. International Diabetes Federation, 2019). In fact, diabetes sufferers are not only parents, but also children, the Indonesian Pediatrician Association (IDAI) released data that the prevalence of children with diabetes increased 70 times in January 2023 compared to 2010.
As one of the foods that are easily accessible to the public, candy/confectionery is a food made from sugar, so it is one that is quite avoided by diabetics. This is the basis for the development of today’s candy. Recently, there has been a lot of news about students developing candy that is safe for consumption by diabetics.
PT Inasentra itself has produced various types of candy with the sugar free label, where the use of sugar will be replaced by natural sweeteners such as isomalt, stevia and others. Because this candy is safer for diabetics to consume than candy in general. This is a plus point for candy product sales amidst the current rampant cases of Diabetes.
PT Inasentra Unisatya is currently opening Maklon service cooperation for various parties who want to make functional candy. For those interested, please contact us via telephone or email.
