Natural, Artificial & Polyol Sweeteners – Foodchem’s Global Food Ingredient Solutions
Foodchem, a leading Chinese food ingredients brand and one-stop solution service partner, proudly announces its comprehensive global sweeteners portfolio, now available for worldwide distribution. Catering to the growing demand for low-calorie, functional, and specialty sweeteners, Foodchem provides bulk supply, certified quality, and technical support for the food, beverage, confectionery, dairy, pharmaceutical, and health industries.
Foodchem’s sweeteners portfolio includes natural sweeteners, artificial sweeteners, sugar alcohols, and bulk carbohydrates, all optimized for sweetness, performance, and application flexibility.
Natural & Zero-Calorie Sweeteners
- Allulose (~70% sweetness of sugar): Low-calorie sugar substitute for beverages, bakery, ice cream, and confectionery. Supports browning in baking and provides a sugar-like taste.
- Stevia (200–300× sweetness): Plant-derived, heat-stable, ideal for sugar-free drinks, tabletop sweeteners, and diet foods. Blends well with Ace-K for a natural taste profile.
Artificial Sweeteners
- Aspartame (E951, ~200× sweetness): Best for soft drinks, dairy products, and tabletop sweeteners. Heat-sensitive, suitable for cold applications.
- Sucralose (~600× sweetness): Heat-stable, suitable for baking, beverages, and sugar-free products. Compatible with other sweeteners.
- Acesulfame Potassium (Ace-K, E950, ~200× sweetness): Often blended with aspartame; used in beverages, dairy, and sugar-free confectionery.
- Sodium Saccharin (E954, 300–500× sweetness): Soft drinks, tabletop sweeteners, and processed foods; cost-effective.
- Sodium Cyclamate (E952, 30–50× sweetness): Typically combined with other sweeteners for beverages and candies.
Sugar Alcohols / Polyols
- Xylitol (1× sweetness): Tooth-friendly, used in sugar-free chewing gum, candies, and dental products.
- Maltitol (0.9× sweetness): Sugar-free chocolates, candies, bakery; low glycemic impact and moisture-retaining.
- Sorbitol (0.6× sweetness): Humectant and stabilizer for candies, chewing gum, and toothpaste.
- Isomalt (0.5× sweetness): Anti-crystallization property, ideal for sugar-free candies and decorative sugar work.
Bulk Sugars / Functional Carbohydrates
- Maltodextrin (~10% sweetness): Soluble bulking agent for beverages, bakery, and sauces.
- Dextrose Anhydrous & Monohydrate (70–75% sweetness): Energy source for beverages, confectionery, and fermentation.
- Liquid Glucose (~75% sweetness): Viscous syrup used in candies, bakery, ice cream, and soft drinks; prevents crystallization.
- High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS 42 & 55, 42–55% fructose): Provides consistent sweetness and viscosity for soft drinks, bakery, and processed foods.
- Polydextrose (~0.25× sweetness): Low-calorie dietary fiber and prebiotic, ideal for sugar-free beverages, bakery, and functional foods.
