Stevia Extract
Essential ingredients in the formulation of reduced-sugar or sugar-free recipes, intense sweeteners are increasingly used in the food industry. Consumers are gravitating towards more natural options, and stevia extracts provide a solution to these trends.
Extracted from the leaves of a small shrub native to Paraguay, “steviol glycosides” are a family of natural molecules that have a sweetness intensity ranging from 60 to 350 times that of sucrose. Non-fermentable and non-digestible, stevia extracts therefore have an almost zero caloric load.

Bulk Sweeteners
Bulk sweeteners are essential elements for reduced-sugar recipes. They help restore bulk while providing sweetness without the calories associated with sugar.
• Xylitol
• Lactitol
Nutrition
Sugars
Sugars are an integral part of the human diet and play various roles: providing sweetness, texture, and acting as a preservative.
The nutritional challenge is becoming increasingly prominent, and today there are alternatives to sucrose that do not compromise on quality.

Fibers
One of the benefits of both soluble and insoluble dietary fibers lies in their positive effects on health: regulating blood sugar and digestion, promoting digestive well-being, and enhancing satiety, among others. Some fibers, known as prebiotics, also influence the composition and activity of our intestinal microorganisms. In addition to their nutritional benefits, fibers are used as bulking agents in applications with reduced sugar and fat content.
