Tate & Lyle adds ERYTESSE Erythritol to sweetener portfolio
Ingredient offers full sugar-like taste experience.
Tate & Lyle PLC has announced an addition to its sweetener portfolio: ERYTESSE Erythritol. Through a strategic partnership distribution agreement with a leading supplier of erythritol, this addition expands its ability to help customers deliver on consumer demand for healthier sugar- and calorie- reduced products.
ERYTESSE Erythritol has 70% the sweetness of sucrose and a similar temporal profile, with zero calories. It can be used in a range of categories, including beverages, dairy, bakery, and confectionery. Erythritol fits well into the brand's existing portfolio and can be used alone or in combination with natural sweeteners, like stevia and monk fruit, and high potency sweeteners like sucralose. It offers a full sugar-like taste experience and helps customers formulate sugar reduced foods and beverages at an acceptable cost in use. It can also be used to create sweetening solutions for manufactured food products, including bulking and mouthfeel when sucrose is reduced or removed. In addition, it offers good stability in high levels of heat or acidity during processing, making it suitable for a host of formulations.
