A NATURAL & HEALTHY SWEETNESS SOLUTION
To be successful packaged food and beverage products first have to taste great, but consumers are also more concerned than ever about making natural and healthy choices.
With monk fruit, “better for you” and “great-tasting” finally go hand in hand.
For years food and beverage companies have been looking for natural alternatives to sugar. Monk fruit is a solution that delivers natural, great-tasting low-calorie sweetness. Consumers trust fruit because they associate it with healthy, delicious sweetness. Monk fruit provides a natural source of pure sweetness with the goodness of fruit, and because it’s concentrated there’s often room for other product enhancements like additional complex carbohydrates, fibers and whole grains.
Monk fruit juice concentrate is a natural fruit juice that is 15-20 times sweeter than sugar. With a clean flavor profile and no lingering bitterness, monk fruit juice concentrate is an ideal solution for reducing or replacing added sugar in foods and beverages where a juice ingredient is preferred.
Concentrated monk fruit infusion is the product we developed for the UK and EU market which complies with the specification accepted by UK FSA and Ireland FSAI as a not novel food. Like our monk fruit juice concentrate our concentrated monk fruit infusion is 100% natural, with a clean flavor profile and no lingering bitterness. This makes it an ideal solution for reducing added sugar in foods and beverages where a food ingredient rather than food additive is preferred.
Monk fruit extract is a powdered fruit extract that is 150 to 200 times sweeter than sugar with a clean flavor profile and no bitter aftertaste. Monk fruit extract is supplied in a convenient, concentrated powder form and can be used to reduce or replace sugar in a wide range of foods and beverages.
The monk fruit juice concentrate, concentrated monk fruit infusion, and monk fruit extract are all made with a simple, natural process using a combination of hot water infusion and multi-step filtering to concentrate the pure sweetness of the fruit.
