Key Summary:
- Potency: Up to 50x sweeter than sugar.
- Function: Used primarily as a bulking agent or base for complex sweetener systems.
- Key Benefit: Cost-effective entry point for Monk Fruit labeling.
Our Monk Fruit MV 5% is a lightly concentrated extract, offering a mild, natural sweetness profile. This lower-potency grade is highly valued as a base ingredient in formulations where bulk, color, and a low level of sweetness are required without impacting ingredient costs excessively.
Industrial Advantage & Use
Best utilized in formulations requiring a blend with polyols (like Erythritol or Maltitol) to create a powdered, zero-calorie "sugar substitute." It's also ideal for functional drinks where a neutral color and minimal flavor impact are needed.
Health & Manufacturer Benefits
- Clean Label: Allows for a desirable 'Monk Fruit' ingredient listing.
- Zero Calorie & Zero GI: Meets the requirements for zero-sugar, diabetic-friendly products.
- Blending Base: A stable, cost-effective powder for dry mix blends.
Powdered Blends
Primary ingredient in powdered retail sugar substitutes when blended with fillers.
Liquid Syrups
Used in liquid drops and bulk syrups for foodservice and industrial use.
Neutral Carrier
Acts as a neutral, stable carrier in spice and savory seasoning blends.
Cost Optimization
Used to provide foundational sweetness when cost management is critical.
Key Summary:
- Potency: Up to 150x sweeter than sugar.
- Function: Provides balanced sweetness with good taste performance.
- Key Benefit: Versatile, workhorse ingredient for sweetening in mass production.
The MV 15% grade offers a noticeable increase in sweetness intensity, making it far more efficient than the 5% grade. This is AltSugar's most popular industrial grade, providing excellent functional performance across various food and beverage matrixes.
Industrial Advantage & Use
Ideal for reducing the volume of Monk Fruit needed in large-scale beverage production, dairy products, and baked goods. Its concentration delivers significant sweetness without requiring excessive blending agents, simplifying the final ingredient declaration.
Health & Manufacturer Benefits
- Dosage Efficiency: Requires a lower usage rate than the 5% grade for the same sweetness level.
- Minimal Off-Notes: High acceptance in taste panels; very low perceived bitterness.
- pH Stability: Extremely stable across wide pH and temperature ranges (essential for UHT and pasteurization).
Key Summary:
- Potency: Up to 250x sweeter than sugar.
- Function: Used as a primary sweetness driver in concentrated formats.
- Key Benefit: Drastically reduces ingredient volume and logistics costs.
This high-purity grade (MV 25%) is classified as a high-intensity natural sweetener. It is suitable for applications that require maximum sweetness with minimal bulk, making it crucial for cost-effective freight and manufacturing processes.
Industrial Advantage & Use
Primarily used in concentrated liquid flavor bases, pre-mixes, and high-volume industrial batches where minute dosage accuracy is key. Ideal for sugar-reduced or zero-sugar carbonated soft drinks, flavored waters, and concentrated juice preparations.
Health & Manufacturer Benefits
- Micro-Dosing: Requires very small doses, minimizing overall raw material handling.
- Flavor Neutrality: Lower risk of impacting the finished product’s flavor profile compared to lower grades.
- Maximum Sweetness: Delivers high sweetening power while maintaining natural source compliance.
Key Summary:
- Potency: Up to 400x sweeter than sugar.
- Function: Specialized application where sweetness is needed without any residual Monk Fruit taste.
- Key Benefit: Purity minimizes fruit flavor, maximizing sweetness efficiency.
Our MV 50% extract is an ultra-premium, ultra-concentrated product. This level of purification ensures the cleanest possible sweetness, making it the highest-performing Monk Fruit ingredient on the market, used for precision flavor matching.
Industrial Advantage & Use
Reserved for advanced flavor houses and products sensitive to minor off-notes, such as premium dairy alternatives, clear beverages, and high-end confectionery. This grade offers maximum control over the final taste and stability.
Health & Manufacturer Benefits
- Highest Purity: Guaranteed low impurity levels, resulting in virtually no bitter aftertaste.
- Taste Optimization: The preferred tool for replacing sucrose perfectly in complex systems.
- Logistics Savings: Lowest usage rate minimizes inventory and shipping costs dramatically.
Key Summary:
- Potency: Up to 450x sweeter than sugar.
- Flavor Profile: Closest to sugar, with minimal to zero traditional Stevia bitterness.
- Key Benefit: Premium, high-performing zero-calorie sweetener for beverages and dairy.
Rebaudioside M (Reb-M) is the most sought-after component of the Stevia leaf, known for providing the cleanest, most sugar-like sweetness profile. AltSugar's Reb-M is high-purity, guaranteeing superior flavor and functional stability, even at high usage rates.
Source & Process: Targeted Extraction
Our Reb-M is extracted using advanced techniques (often involving fermentation or targeted leaf extraction) to maximize the concentration of this specific glycoside while minimizing bitter-tasting components like Reb-A, ensuring optimal taste performance.
Industrial Advantage & Use
Reb-M is a non-negotiable choice for premium sugar-free carbonated beverages, sports drinks, and dairy products where flavor integrity is paramount. Its solubility and heat stability also make it perfect for high-temperature processing like UHT milk and canned goods.
Health & Manufacturer Benefits
- Superior Taste: Provides the gold-standard in clean, zero-calorie sweetness, critical for mass consumer acceptance.
- High Stability: Excellent shelf-life stability in both low and high pH environments.
- Sugar Reduction: The high sweetness allows for drastic sugar reduction or complete replacement.
