Fat analogs are substances that are structured similarly to fats, but have been modified to reduce caloric content while still providing the sensory characteristics of fat. They are digested more slowly and therefore have fewer calories per gram than fat. Substitutes, mimetics, and extenders do not necessarily have the same characteristics as fat. Analogs have the characteristics of fat, but with fewer calories due to altered digestibility. Substitutes, mimetics, and extenders may have similar characteristics to fat, but they do not necessarily have altered digestibility to reduce the calorie content.
