Application & Processing Fit
Beverage Manufacturing: Integrated into carbonated soft drinks, functional drinks, and liquid refreshment mixes.
Confectionery Processing: Utilized in sugar-free candy manufacturing, chewing gum bases, and tableted confections.
Dietary Supplements: Used in supplement powders, nutritional products and other formulated products where high-intensity sweetness is required.
Dry Blend Formulations: Suitable for dry-mix food products requiring rapid dispersion and uniform mixing characteristics.
Sweetening Performance & Formulation Characteristics
Relative Sweetness: Delivers a sweetening potency approximately 200 times higher than standard sucrose by weight.
Caloric Contribution: High sweetness intensity allows low use levels and can reduce the amount of sweetener required.
Taste Profile: Provides a clean, sugar-like taste profile without lingering chemical aftertastes.
Particle Size & Supply Forms
Powder or Granular Supply: Available in powder and granular forms to suit different production processes, from dry blending and premix preparation to controlled dosing in finished-product manufacturing.
Formulation Compatibility: The selected physical form can be matched to the buyer's handling process, mixing equipment, and product format to support consistent incorporation into food and beverage formulations.
Dry Blending: Powder form is suitable for premixes and powdered formulations where uniform distribution with other dry ingredients is required.
Granular Handling: Granular material can be considered for applications where reduced dust generation and easier material handling are preferred during weighing and production.
Packaging, Storage & Shelf Life
Packaging Specifications: Packaged in 25 kg fiber drums or multi-layer paper bags lined with food-grade polyethylene film to block external moisture.
Shelf Stability: Retains full chemical and physical stability for up to 24 months from the manufacturing date under proper conditions.
Storage Conditions: Must be stored in sealed containers within a cool, dry environment to prevent moisture uptake and caking.
Handling Precautions: Keep packaging tightly closed during storage to avoid environmental humidity exposure and material degradation.
