Purpose
This experiment is to observe the affect that substituting sugar with a sugar replacement does to the texture and taste of marshmallows.

Hypothesis
Null Hypothesis: There will be no difference
between the control and the experiment trial.

Why splenda?
1. Low calories
2. Good replacement for diabetic consumers and people trying to cut kcals.
3. Claims heat stability
.
Splenda Sugar
1tsp = 16 cal 1tsp = 1.6 cal

Method
Using Splenda to replace sucrose in making the confection marshmallows, a recipe which calls for sugar syrup to be
brought to a high temperature.

Obstacles
The first trial of Splenda marshmallows came out too soft and watery.
The Splenda marshmallows shrunk and turned brown due to application of excessive heat.
The Splenda trial had a little color difference compared to the control.

Solutions
Adding food coloring to both batches.Cook both products for 10 min. instead of 15. Add 1 T more gelatin to the Splenda batch.Refrigerate both trials overnight before
serving.

Expectation
The Splenda marshmallows will be too soft. The Splenda marshmallows will not hold its
shape for long. Many will prefer the control sugar
marshmallow’s taste &
texture.

Conclusion
From this experiment we learned that our null hypothesis were disproved that there was a difference between the variable and control’s texture and flavor.
Yet our expectation of the control being significantly preferred was denied.
