Fat substitute
Fat substitutes are substances that contribute a similar mouth feel, texture, or taste to a food product as normal fat. Some are as caloric as fats, but can be used in smaller amounts, while others are not metabolized and thus make a negligible contribution to the caloric content of the food.
