Nestle, which is currently attempting to secure a patent for its new idea, explained that the breakthrough involved changing the structure of sugar so that it tastes sweeter.

As a result it is possible to reduce the amount needed without any perceivable difference in taste.

Products using the new type of sugar are set to begin appearing in shops by 2018.
