Sweeteners

Our comprehensive range of sweeteners is designed to meet the diverse functional and sensory needs of food and beverage formulations. From high-purity crystalline maltitol to spray-dried glucose and beyond, we offer sweeteners across the full spectrum of dextrose equivalence (DE), providing varying levels of sweetness, solubility, and reactivity. Available in liquid, powder, and solid forms, our sweeteners deliver consistent performance in applications requiring bulk, binding, humectancy, or tailored sweetness profiles. Whether you’re developing sugar-reduced, functional, or clean-label products, our solutions ensure optimal taste, texture, and processing compatibility.

Sweeteners – Liquid

Our liquid sweeteners range includes glucose syrups, high-maltose syrups, and reduced-sugar options, tailored to deliver smooth solubility, stable viscosity, and consistent sweetness in a wide array of applications. These syrups provide excellent functionality as humectants, bulking agents, and binding ingredients, particularly in beverages, confectionery, sauces, and bakery products. With options across varying DE levels, our liquid sweeteners offer control over sweetness intensity, browning, and texture. Their ease of integration and process stability make them a reliable choice for high-throughput production environments.

Sweeteners – Powder

Our powdered sweeteners include spray-dried glucose, maltitol powders, and other carbohydrate-based sweeteners in finely milled formats. Ideal for dry mix applications such as instant beverages, bakery premixes, nutritional powders, and tableted supplements, these ingredients offer excellent flowability, dispersibility, and shelf stability. Available in a wide range of DE values, our powdered sweeteners enable precise formulation control for sweetness, solubility, and rehydration behavior. Whether you’re seeking rapid dissolution or low-moisture content for sensitive applications, our powders provide reliable performance and clean-label appeal.

Sweeteners FAQ

Do sweeteners spike insulin?

Most non-nutritive sweeteners, such as sucralose, stevia, and aspartame, do not significantly raise blood glucose or insulin levels when consumed in typical amounts. However, research is still evolving, and some studies suggest that certain sweeteners may have subtle effects on insulin response in specific individuals. For example, sucralose has shown variable results—some studies report no impact, while others suggest a mild insulin spike when consumed with carbohydrate-rich meals. Sugar alcohols like maltitol and sorbitol can cause a modest insulin response, as they are partially absorbed. Overall, for most people, sweeteners used within recommended guidelines are unlikely to cause significant insulin spikes, especially when compared to regular sugar.

Are sweeteners bad for you?

Sweeteners, both natural and artificial, are not inherently bad for you when consumed in moderation. In fact, many are used to help reduce overall sugar and calorie intake, which can support weight management and reduce the risk of conditions like type 2 diabetes. Low- and no-calorie sweeteners such as stevia, sucralose, and erythritol are approved by global food safety authorities and are considered safe at recommended intake levels. However, overconsumption or heavy reliance on sweeteners—especially in highly processed foods—may have unintended effects, such as changes in gut microbiota or increased cravings for sweet tastes. The key is to use sweeteners thoughtfully as part of a balanced, varied diet.

What are artificial sweeteners?

Additive sweeteners are ingredients added to foods and beverages to impart sweetness without necessarily providing the same caloric content or functional characteristics as traditional sugars like sucrose. They can be either nutritive (such as sorbitol, maltitol, or glucose syrups) or non-nutritive (such as sucralose or stevia), and are used to enhance flavor, reduce sugar content, or improve product stability. Additive sweeteners are carefully selected based on desired sweetness intensity, solubility, stability under processing conditions, and regulatory acceptance. They play a critical role in developing sugar-reduced, diabetic-friendly, and clean-label products while maintaining taste and sensory appeal.

Which is worse sugar or artificial sweeteners?

The health impact of sugar versus artificial sweeteners depends on context, quantity, and individual needs. Excessive sugar consumption is linked to obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and dental decay due to its high calorie content and effect on blood glucose. Artificial sweeteners, while calorie-free or very low in calories, are often used to reduce sugar intake but have sparked debate over long-term health effects. Current research suggests that approved artificial sweeteners are generally safe when consumed within recommended limits, though some studies raise concerns about their impact on gut health and appetite regulation. Ultimately, moderation is key—neither excessive sugar nor heavy reliance on artificial sweeteners is ideal, and a balanced approach using a mix of natural and reduced-calorie options is often the healthiest strategy.
