Compositions and methods for producing elevated blood levels of ketone bodies and modifying metabolic function in a mammal. Compositions include at least one ester of S-beta-hydroxybutyrate and/or a mono- or di-ester of S-1,3-butanediol and at least one ketone body component. The ketone body component includes beta-hydroxybutyrate, acetoacetate, or both. The beta-hydroxybutyrate is R-beta-hydroxybutyrate, S-beta-hydroxybutyrate, or both. When the ketone body component is S-beta-hydroxybutyrate, the 1,3-butanediol is R-1,3-butanediol, S-1,3-butanediol, or both. Compositions may comprise a keto stack of multiple forms of ketone bodies.

A sweetening composition comprising sucralose and a purified extract of stevia.

A sweetening composition comprising sucralose and a purified extract of stevia.

Provided is a low-carbohydrate wheat flour mix containing 25 mass % or greater of a dietary fiber material, 3 to 30 mass % of gluten, 1 to 20 mass % of starch derived from an underground plant part, and 60 mass % or less of wheat flour, all with respect to the total mass of the mix. Preferably, the low-carbohydrate wheat flour mix further contains 0.1 to 1 mass % of an emulsifier. The low-carbohydrate wheat flour mix contains dietary fiber, which leads low-carbohydrate and low-calorie, and can be used in the production of bakery food products, deep-fried food products, and sauces in the same manner as for ordinary wheat flour.
