By GlobalData“We see this as a real opportunity since most beverage and food companies do not have a deep knowledge of stevia technology to make it work easily. In order to replace sugar or artificial sweeteners with stevia in different beverage and food applications, we need to use different types of BlendSureTM with natural flavours in different combinations to develop the best taste.
“Stevia is a high intensity sweetener and its density is light and can be difficult to apply in beverage and food production. We have seen similar problems also occur for reduced sugar volume in food applications. We have addressed all of these problems or challenges and can now provide our customers with the best solutions for zero or low calorie naturally sweetened food and beverage products.”
