PureCircle introduces Sigma-Beverage, a stevia ingredient that performs similarly to sugar at deep calorie reductions so formulators can create beverage solutions while reducing development time by 30-50%.
“Beverages have provided a challenge for formulators because of the high sweetness max,” said John Martin, PureCircle’s Senior Director of Global Technical Innovation.
“To achieve that high level of sweetness with stevia can often result in linger and a strong, sweetness aftertaste,” said John Martin, senior director of global technical innovation.
“However, by selecting the steviol glycosides that provide a very clean, sugar-like taste with a reduced linger, we have been able formulate a stevia ingredient that really works well for the challenges of beverage applications.”
Sigma-Beverage joins PureCircle’s Sigma-Tea and Sigma-Dairy, all of which are outperforming first generation Reb A solutions on taste and have been developed through the company’s predictive modeling technology.
