How our sweetener solutions met Latin American beverage market demands

One of our global customers, a leader in the sparkling beverages market, wanted to create low-sugar versions for multiple regional brands in Latin America. Following the introduction of stricter sugar regulations in various countries within the region, the customer wanted to create a low-calorie, low-sugar product – while retaining the taste and mouthfeel that consumers know and love.

The fast pace of sugar tax laws, meant their R&D teams needed our help and expertise with local ingredients and legislation to produce quickly winning solutions that also remained on budget – in terms of delivery time and cost objectives.

Using sweetener solutions to replace sugar content

Our SPLENDA® Sucralose offered the perfect solution. Its excellent taste profile can be used in low-pH formulas without stability concerns. It was the sweetener of choice - with a taste profile that is very similar to sugar and it maintains its sweetness over a long shelf life, unlike some other no-calorie sweeteners.

The customer ran a pilot trial before launching the product – and success! A new low-sugar version of the beverage was born

Our Application Scientists, Product Managers, Technical Service and Sales teams worked with the customer in our labs to formulate, test and validate beverages using new sweetener solutions to replace sugar content. The customer ran a pilot trial before launching the product – and success! A new low-sugar version of the beverage was born!
