Our portfolio of sweeteners helps to reduce sugar without sacrificing the sweet taste that consumers love. Many of them offer greater sweetness than sugar, with almost none of the calories. You can use less and achieve more. But sweetness is just one benefit that our sweeteners provide.
We have ingredients that can replicate the bulk, texture, and browning properties of sugar– keeping mouthfeel intact in your formulations. Our insights on consumer sensory and label preferences offer peace of mind when meeting the demands of health-conscious consumers.

Sweet solutions
Solutions spotlight
Sugar replacements that provide differing levels of sweetness and solubility without bitterness, including our groundbreaking SPLENDA® Sucralose and DOLCIA PRIMA® Allulose2. Many are derived from plants, like our stevia ingredients or monk fruit extract.
These offer versatile solutions for enhancing sweetness and texture in food products. Fructose, a naturally occurring sugar, provides a sweet taste with a lower glycaemic impact, while maltodextrin serves as a key bulking agent.
Our range of sweeteners includes flavours with modifying properties (FMPs). These provide modifying properties in certain formulations, improving sweet taste and flavour while reducing bitterness or lingering
Our liquid and dry sweeteners can add bulk, body and optimum sweetness to cakes, biscuits and pastries, and offer fermentable and rheological-control properties; which means they can boost the browning reaction of crusts and biscuits.
We can enhance multiple products with our sweeteners, from soft drinks and juice to isotonic water. They can be used as single ingredient swaps or in advanced combinations; helping reduce calories, provide intense sweetness and reinforce fruity flavours.
Sweeteners are effective in coatings, adding sweet taste and contributing to the gloss and sheen of your breakfast cereal range.
Our diverse range of sweeteners are ideal for boiled sweets, caramels, jellies, marshmallows, chewing gum, fondant, marzipan and fillings. Specifically, our sweeteners enhance fruity flavours and improve chewiness in hard-boiled sweets, gums, jellies and liquorice.
Our nutritive and non-nutritive sweeteners work in multiple dairy products. We can enhance scoopability and sweetness in ice cream, improve softness and re-crystallisation rates in creamy or delicate fruit flavours, or create low calorie versions of consumer favourites.
Sweeteners can provide a range of binding characteristics, which improve chewiness and sweetness in your cereal bars and are also very effective in helping improve sweetness levels in low-calorie and low-sugar snack bar alternatives.
When used in a combination with other ingredients, sweeteners provide great bulking properties in application. They also offer other cost-effective solutions for soups, sauces and dressings.
New ex-vivo research on low- and no-calorie sweeteners finds beneficial or no impact on the gut
We recently partnered with Cryptobiotix, pioneers in preclinical gastrointestinal research, on a breakthrough ex-vivo study to explore the impact of certain low and no calorie sweeteners (LNCS) on the gut in both healthy individuals and those with type 2 diabetes.
