Sugar reduction is an art and a science
Formulate great-tasting reduced-sugar products
We can help you find the right ingredients for your sugar-reduction and functional build-back needs
Formulators have many options for reducing sugar content in their food and beverages, but it can be challenging to know which is best for a specific application. From enhancing sweetness to reducing sugar and calories, or building back texture and stability, different ingredients have different uses. Ingredion’s full portfolio of category-specific sugar-reduction solutions — including functional build-back ingredients, rare sugars, syrups and naturally derived stevia sweeteners — maintains appetite appeal with personalized solutions for your unique application needs.
To determine which of our featured sweetener ingredients is best for you, consider these questions.
- Do I need to reduce sugar or remove it completely?
- Do I need to mask off-notes or achieve flavor synergies?
- How important are label claims such as “sustainable” or “low in calories?”
Ingredion is dedicated to making our full depth of sugar-reduction expertise and broad ingredient portfolio available to food formulators and manufacturers, large or small. And with our global insight and local and regional expertise, the right solution is always within reach.
