Sugar reduction is a major trend in the food industry, as consumers demand healthier and more natural products. However, reducing sugar in food applications can be challenging, as it affects not only the taste, but also the texture, shelf life, and functionality of the product. That’s why you need Scoular, a leading supplier of food ingredients that can help you achieve the sugar reduction you want, without compromising on quality or performance.
Consistent functionality
Scoular offers a range of natural and alternative sweeteners and fibers that can be used to replace or reduce sugar in your applications. The functional properties of these ingredients enable them to perform like regular sugar, maintaining the integrity of your final product and preserving its original qualities for stability and consistency.
Improved nutrition
Whether it’s allulose which exhibits a lower glycemic response value with almost zero calories or soluble corn fiber that brings a fiber boost with a lower blood glucose curve, Scoular has the ingredient portfolio and the expertise to help you formulate and enhance the overall nutritional profile of your final product.
Desired sensory experience
A key challenge in sugar reduction applications is the common side effects of negative taste, texture and/or mouthfeel. With Scoular sweetener and fiber solutions, we can provide ingredients to support sugar reduction goals while maintaining or in some cases improving the sensory experience for your customers.
Clean labeling
As the clean label trend continues to gain momentum, offering products that feature simple, recognizable ingredients, that come from natural or organic sources, are free from GMOs and allergens, and function without the negative health effects that can come from some artificial offerings is crucial. Scoular offers a variety of solutions to help you meet consumer demand.
