90% of consumers say taste is their top purchase motivator.
Our portfolio of sweetening solutions can help to reduce sugar without sacrificing the sweetness that consumers enjoy. Many of our sweetening solutions offer more sweetness than sugar — and often none or only a fraction of the calories — so you can use less to achieve the same level of sweetness. Replacing sugar can also affect mouthfeel, bulk, texture, browning, and more, so the greatest challenge often lies in delivering a satisfying sensory experience consumers know and love.
Our expert scientists work in partnership with you to find a solution or product that suits your unique needs, and enables you to create extraordinary foods and beverages.

All the taste, all the functionality of sucrose with fewer than 10% of the calories
DOLCIA PRIMA® Allulose tastes and functions like sugar, but has over 90% fewer calories and is 70% as sweet as sugar.
Prima Flavour™ acts as a flavour modifier when used at sub-sweetness levels. It has been shown to mask bitterness and enhance certain flavours.
Allulose occurs naturally in small quantities in foods ranging from fruit juice, tomato juice, figs and raisins to dried kiwi fruit, brown sugar and caramel sauce. In order to produce Prima Flavour™ (allulose) in commercial quantities it is produced from corn using an enzymatic process, without chemical addition.
Prima Flavour ™ (allulose) is FEMA GRAS for use as a flavoring in non-alcoholic beverages to decrease bitter notes, improve taste and flavour notes.
No enzymes or other processing aids are present in the final product. Prima Flavour™ (allulose) contains no preservatives, colour agents, carriers or artificial additives.
This stevia-based product enables a clean, sweet taste and labels as natural flavour (per FDA definition), at an advantaged cost-in-use when compared with other glycosylated stevia extract flavors. ZOLESSE™ Natural Flavour works with stevia sweeteners and astringent flavors to reduce bitterness and linger, helping formulators to achieve the exact taste they need.
Offering selected dextrose equivalent and sugar composition, our liquid and dry sweeteners are ideal for use in bakery applications. Adding bulk, body and optimum sweetness to cakes, biscuits and pastries, our sweeteners also have fermentable and control rheological properties, so can also boost the browning reaction of crusts and biscuits when controlled colour development is needed.
From soft drinks to juice drinks and isotonic water, our portfolio of sweeteners offers effectiveness and flexibility across a diverse range of beverage products. They can be used as brewing sugars, alone as a single ingredient solution or in combination with other sweeteners to reduce calories, provide intense sweetness and to reinforce fruity flavours in fruit juices, nectars and soft drinks.
Our sweeteners can be used to add sweetness to coatings and can contribute to the gloss and sheen of your breakfast cereal range.
From boiled sweets, caramels, jellies and gums to marshmallows, chewing gum, fondant, marzipan and fillings, our diverse range of sweeteners are ideal for use in confectionery. Our fructose and glucose syrups enhance fruity flavours and improve chewiness in hard-boiled sweets, gums, jellies and liquorice.
Our nutritive and non-nutritive sweeteners are ideal for use in your ice cream, desserts, yoghurt and fermented dairy products. Enhancing scoopability and sweetness in ice cream, they improve softness and re-crystallisation rates in creamy or delicate fruit flavours, and can also be used to give yoghurts a great taste, and improved mouthfeel. Sucralose is the ideal ingredient for puddings and custards, helping to create low calorie versions of consumer favourites without impacting taste or sweetness.
Our sweetening ingredients offer cost effective solutions in your soups, sauces and dressings applications, and can also be used with a combination of other ingredients for their bulking properties.
Providing a range of binding characteristics, our sweetening ingredients can improve chewiness and sweetness in your cereal bars and are also very effective in helping improve sweetness levels in low-calorie and low-sugar snack bar alternatives.
