With low calories, our product is 98% pure by HPLC and 1,500–1,800 times sweeter than sucrose. If you process it at high temperatures, it will stay steady at pH 2.0 to 7.0. Food, drinks, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and animal nutrition use our sweetener in more than 40 countries. It's approved by ISO 9001, ISO 22000, HACCP, FAMI-QS, Halal, and Kosher.

What Makes This Citrus Aurantium Extract Sweetener Different?

Unique to the product is a hydrogenated form of the bitter orange flavonoid neohesperidin. A high-intensity sweetener leaves behind metallic or astringent aftertastes, but this substance changes and enhances flavor.

Another common recipe problem is hiding bitter tastes from coffee, vitamins, and minerals. This sugar substitute fixes that issue. To be different from aspartame, it has a pure sweetness that lasts a long time and a cooling effect that comes up slowly.

The crystalline powder C28H36O15 is white to off-white and mixes easily with water and alcohol. In order to make sure heat processing is stable, the melting point is between 152°C and 155°C. Not making you gain weight and having almost no effect on your blood sugar levels make it a product that is great for diabetics and keto-certified.
