CHEERS FOR NATURAL SWEETNESS
H2-Luo monk fruit and allulose blended sweetener from Adallen Nutrition is uniquely enhanced through a proprietary co-crystallization process that integrates the two ingredients into a more uniform, functional sweetener solution. Monk fruit provides clean, natural sweetness and strong label appeal, while allulose contributes sugar-like bulk, creaminess and mouthfeel essential for dairy applications, according to the company. Through co-crystallization, the sweetness profile becomes more balanced and consistent, helping minimize aftertaste while improving dispersion, stability and flavor delivery in yogurt, ice cream, flavored milk and creamers. The result is a reduced-sugar dairy solution that delivers improved texture, smoother sweetness and a more authentic sugar-like sensory experience.

Apura Ingredients helps dairy brands reduce sugar without compromising creamy taste and mouthfeel. Through its partnership with EPC Natural Products Co., Apura offers Savarin 100PN, an advanced flavor modulation technology designed for yogurt, milk-based beverages and protein-forward dairy applications. Savarin 100PN helps balance sweetness, enhance creamy dairy notes, improve mouthfeel and mask unwanted offnotes often associated with natural sweeteners and functional ingredients such as plant-based proteins, the company says. Combined with Apura’s portfolio of sweetening solutions, including SteviaMAX and allulose, dairy formulators can create reduced-sugar products with a more rounded, indulgent and consumer-friendly sensory experience.

Cargill’s stevia portfolio delivers next-generation sweetness solutions for reduced-sugar dairy applications. The company’s ViaTech stevia leaf extract includes leaf-based solutions optimized for dairy. It also offers EverSweet stevia sweetener, produced via fermentation, for access to Reb M and Reb D — two of the best-tasting steviol glycosides only present in very small quantities in the stevia leaf. For more complex systems such as high-protein products, EverSweet stevia sweetener + ClearFlo natural flavor enhances sweetness dynamics and mouthfeel, improves solubility and sweetener dissolution, helps mask protein offnotes and enhances characterizing flavors like chocolate or fruit. By leveraging these comprehensive sweetening solutions, Cargill helps customers create indulgent sensory experiences that meet consumer demand for great-tasting, lower-sugar dairy and dairy-alternative products, the company says.
