Die neue Verbindung ist die Monk Fruit mit Stevia !!!!!L!L!
In the past, soft drink manufacturers could only choose between full-calorie drinks with sugar and HFCS or zero-calorie diet drinks with artificial sweeteners. Consumers are happy with their zero-calorie choice, yet the full-sugar drinkers don’t like the extra calories and have not chosen diet as an option. Today, we can blend sugar with stevia and create an all-natural, great-tasting, good-for-you soft drink with less than half the calories, giving consumers a new option.”
An alternative nutritive sweetener that lends itself to combination with stevia in these types of drinks is the natural fruit extract Fruit Up from Wild (Carcaixent, Spain).
“When combined with steviol glycosides, Fruit Up offers the opportunity to make natural sweetening claims with an excellent sweet taste profile,” says Paulo Braga, technical manager, food, EMEA, with Univar, which distributes Wild’s Sunwin stevia products and taste-modification technologies in Europe.
Monk Fruit
The only fruit-based calorie-free sweetening system from natural origin available today, monk fruit enables a “sweetened with fruit extract” label claim, which Tate & Lyle says is appealing to consumers.
In terms of applications, Tate & Lyle says PureFruit is suitable for use in beverages, dairy, cereals, confectionery, and baked goods, although at present the beverage and dairy markets are showing the greatest interest.
Monk fruit extract can be blended with other sweeteners, and Layn USA says it sees a strong synergy with stevia. In fact, Layn has developed a patented product, Lovia, which combines the synergistic properties of the two sweeteners.
“The two compounds work in unison together. Whereby Rebaudioside A provides an intense upfront sweetness sensation but may tend to elicit a lingering, undesirable aftertaste, mogroside-V has a notably less intense upfront sweetness but a pleasing and sustained aftertaste,” explains Chris Tower, president of Layn. “Layn has discovered an essential balance in Lovia, effectively leveraging the strengths of each ingredient.”
