Sweeteners

Our comprehensive range of sweeteners is designed to meet the diverse functional and sensory needs of food and beverage formulations. From crystalline fructose to rice syrup and beyond, we offer a broad range of dextrose equivalents (DE), providing a diverse sensory experience. Available in liquid and powder formats, we help you 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 processability.

Sweeteners – Liquid

Our liquid range includes glucose syrup, high-maltose syrup, and reduced-sugar options, tailored to deliver solubility, stable viscosity, and consistent sweetness in a wide array of food and beverage applications. These syrups provide excellent functionality as humectants, binding and bulking agents, particularly in confectionery, sauces, and bakery products. With various dextrose equivalents (DE), 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 dextrose monohydrate, spray-dried glucose, maltitol, and more. 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. Our sweetener range gives you precise control over formulations, whether you need fast dissolution or low moisture for sensitive products, we deliver reliable performance with clean-label appeal.

Sweeteners FAQ

The information provided in this FAQ is for general informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice. For questions related to health, nutrition, or medical conditions, please consult a qualified healthcare provider.

Do sweeteners spike insulin?

Most non-nutritive sweeteners, such as stevia, sucralose, 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.

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 non-caloric 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 consume 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.
