This agreement combines high quality, traceable and responsibly-sourced raw materials with industry-leading innovation for Layn’s sweetener solution products. 

Simplistica ingredient systems are optimized solutions from TIC Gums that leverage the best technologies hydrocolloids, starches, plant proteins and sweeteners have to offer.

The presentation dove deep into the ways consumers are attempting to avoid sugar in their diets. Efforts include drinking water instead of caloric beverages; eliminating certain foods and drinks from their diet; removing table sugar from food and drinks; utilizing nutrition fact labels to find products with less sugar; and using low-calorie sweeteners to substitute sugar.

Dairy manufacturers are reevaluating their relationships with sweeteners.

Visitors to DSM’s IFT Booth S2849 can try AVANSYA™ Reb M in a sweetened yogurt application, where the new sweetener has enabled a 100% reduction in added sugar. AVANSYA™ Reb M, with its sugar-like sweetness, allows producers to achieve a zero-added-sugar product while maintaining a preferred taste profile in the application. 

The development of on-demand digital support reflects the company’s long-standing commitment to innovation. The virtual lab, available at insideidealabs.com and first developed to serve the US beverage segment, makes Ingredion Idea Labs science-based problem solving more readily available to customers pursuing increased agility and speed to market. 

Looking to reduce or eliminate sugar in a new food or beverage product? Today’s food scientists have many sweetener options from which to choose. Ben Fleischer, CEO and founder of Pyure® Brands LLC, Naples, Fla., explains why Pyure stevia products represent an optimal choice for sugar-reduction endeavors.

SweeGen’s unique production process starts with the stevia leaf and uses a proprietary technology to achieve high purity levels of Reb D. Sensory mapping, obtained through a trained sensory panel, shows that Reb D has a sugar-like sweet taste and has a sweetness onset and sweet linger (also called “sweetness time intensity”) that is closer to sugar than other stevia products. In 2017, the U.S. FDA issued a No Objection Letter for BESTEVIA Reb D stevia leaf sweetener for use as a general-purpose, non-nutritive sweetener for foods and beverages (GRN No. 715).

Cargill has officially started producing EverSweet™, a zero-calorie, next-generation sweetener made with two of the best tasting sweet compounds found in the stevia leaf, Reb M and Reb D.

Second-generation stevia extracts were all about high-purity Reb A. In contrast, today’s third-generation stevia extracts are based on better tasting steviol glycosides with the highest commercial value, Reb A, B, C, D and M.
