Creating Sweet Spot®
Sweet Spot® is a healthy sugar alternative, delivering the perfect balance of sweetness and health.
Sweet Spot® is a healthy sugar replacer made from cane sugar through a patented, proprietary enzyme process that converts sucrose into short-chain fructo-oligosaccharides (sc-FOS). These sc-FOS occur naturally in vegetables such as onions, asparagus, and tomatoes, as well as in various fruits, wheat, and grains.
Technically, fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS) is a healthy form of sucrose in which one, two, or three additional fructose units are added via β-2,1-glycosidic linkages to the fructose unit of sucrose. Sweet Spot® represents the future of sweeteners, offering low calories and a very low glycemic index while delivering the same great taste as sugar.
Sweet Spot® is a healthy sugar alternative, offering natural sweetness, fewer calories, and a low glycemic index without compromising taste.
The functional and physical attributes of Sweet Spot® make it an excellent choice for a wide range of food and beverage applications aimed at sugar reduction, fiber enrichment, and maintaining a low glycemic index. Its unique formulation ensures that products retain the desirable characteristics of traditional sugar, including sweetness, texture, and mouthfeel, while also enhancing overall flavor. Additionally, Sweet Spot® provides humectation, helping to retain moisture and extend the freshness of baked goods, confectionery, and other food products. Its versatility allows for seamless integration into various formulations, making it a superior alternative to conventional sweeteners.
