New family of Stevia ingredients announced

PureCircle announced a new line of stevia ingredients at the 2015 Institute of Food Technologists Annual Meeting & Food Expo.

The new family of stevia ingredients has been optimized for specific category applications and performs more similarly to sugar.

The PureCircle Matrix Solutions family includes new stevia ingredient Sigma-T, an ingredient with a clean sweetness profile, reduced astringency and bitterness and a sweet aftertaste that performs parity to sugar at mid-level sugar reductions.

"The ingredients significantly outperform first generation Reb A solutions and come from our deep understanding of steviol glycoside research," said John Martin, PureCircle's Global Director for Technical Development and Innovation. "To see them perform similar to sugar on key attributes in our sensory panels is really an accomplishment."

"Understanding the complexity of the leaf and how it works in specific product applications can take up a lot of development resources and time, but these solutions take the guesswork out of stevia development," Martin said.
