After years of successful collaboration resulting in the development of revolutionary new sweetener blend RA99M, Icon Foods has entered into an exclusive North American distribution agreement with China’s BioLotus Technology Lasa Inc.
When it comes to creating the perfect sweetener it's hard to compete with the taste of nature's sugar — but that hasn’t stopped ingredient companies from trying to find alternatives with fewer calories.
Ingredion Incorporated, a leading global provider of ingredient solutions to diversified industries, and SweeGen, a nature-based sweetener company, have jointly announced that BESTEVIA Reb D stevia leaf sweetener has achieved Non-GMO Project Verified status.
"Nowadays, consumers want to enjoy food without feeling guilty and without compromising on taste," says Bas Smit, global and EMEA marketing director, Barry Callebaut.
Sweet Green Fields (SGF) has introduced Optimizer Stevia, a new line of stevia sweeteners designed to meet or exceed the taste profile of standard stevia extracts ranging from Rebaudioside A (RA) 80 to RA97, with up to a 30% lower cost.
To examine the latest scientific evidence related to non-caloric sweeteners, focused on stevia, the Global Stevia Institute is hosting a sponsored symposium on Saturday, April 22 from Noon – 3:00 PM at the American Society for Nutrition (ASN) Scientific Sessions.
Tate & Lyle PLC and Sweet Green Fields announced that they have entered into an exclusive partnership to deliver innovative stevia ingredients and solutions to customers around the world.
