WESTCHESTER, Ill., June 27, 2023 – Ingredion Incorporated (NYSE: INGR), a leading global provider of specialty ingredients to the food and beverage industry, introduces PureCircle^™ Clean Taste Solutions – zero calorie sweetening solutions tailored to specific applications to deliver ideal eating and drinking experiences.

“Removing sugar and artificial sweeteners in product formulation is not one-size-fits-all,” said Nate Yates, global platform lead for sugar reduction at Ingredion. “PureCircle^™ Clean Taste Solutions are designed to streamline product formulation by delivering unique sweetness profiles required by food and beverage brands. Our team of experts helps our customers to develop the best sweetening experience and quickly bring them to market.”

PureCircle^™ Clean Taste Solutions can provide clean-tasting sweetness across several categories including beverages, dairy, tea, coffee, sports nutrition, bakery, confectionary, savoury, sauces and dressings. PureCircle^™ by Ingredion has the broadest portfolio of stevia sweeteners. These new solutions utilise more of the stevia plant for increased performance and cost in use.

“It is widely acknowledged Reb M is the best tasting glycoside on the market, but what we’ve seen is there is no one universal stevia solution across food and beverage categories,” Yates continued. “These stevia solutions go one step further by harnessing more of the synergies between molecules in the stevia leaf, including Reb M, to create the best possible taste outcome for specific applications for up to 100% sugar reduction.”

There have been significant advancements in stevia sweeteners in recent years to improve taste performance, sustainability and availability of rare stevia molecules. PureCircle is the world’s leading producer and innovator of stevia ingredients, and is the only stevia supplier to offer all of the major stevia production technologies.

Last year the Company published a peer-reviewed lifecycle assessment, which demonstrated the sustainability advantages of stevia when compared to other sweeteners like sugar on a sweetness equivalence basis.

"Ingredion is the world leader in texturising. Today, we combine this expertise and legacy with our PureCircle^™ Clean Taste Solutions, allowing our partners to deliver the eating and drinking experiences that consumers love," shares Navneet Singh, Vice President Commercial, SRSS & Systems, Asia Pacific. "Work with our experts at Ingredion Idea Labs^® innovation centres and leverage our broad range of ingredients – sweeteners and FMPs with clean label options. We offer an end-to-end service model to deliver a total taste and texture experience that caters to the needs of consumers in every market.”
