Today’s consumers want it all when it comes to what they eat and drink. That means great taste, preferably without any ingredients they deem undesirable. For food and beverage product-makers, reducing sugar yet keeping the ideal level of sweetness is a huge challenge.
Manufacturers often use a combination of sweetener ingredients in the quest to achieve the right levels of sugar, sweetness and calories. This is the reason for citrose, a sweetener ingredient that enables product formulators to balance the right taste and sweetness with reduced sugar and calories.
How? Citrose provides sweetness synergy with high-intensity sweeteners (HIS) and bulk sugars. The result is the great taste consumers want, with less sugar and calories.
For example, citrose can be used in products marketed as:
- Sugar Free
- Reduced Sugar/No Added Sugar
- Low/No/Reduced Calorie
- No High Fructose Corn Syrup/High Fructose Corn Syrup Free
Citrose is an ingredient complex comprising neohesperidin DC (NHDC) and γ-Cyclodextrin (gamma-Cyclodextrin). The components in citrose are GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) in the United States and approved for use in the European Union.
