Confections are our
Sweet Spot
Confections are the most challenging category for sugar reduction due to the functionality of sugar in the confection matrix.
Our team of experts has developed a portfolio to overcome the formulation challenges and deliver sugar reduced irresistible treats such as gummies, hard candies, and chocolate confection perfection.
Our Taste Modulators take wellness forward in confectionery. Our bitter blockers target multiple bitterants, including theobromine, enabling manufacturers to use more heart healthy ingredients like dark chocolate, in their products.Combining taste modulation with our Signature Stevia technology allows for up to 100% sugar reduction with a taste profile in sweetness and mouthfeel comparable to sugar.
