Ingredion intros high-potency sweeteners at IFT

Ingredion Inc., a leading global provider of ingredient solutions to diversified industries, will introduce its new DULCENT™ aspartame, sucralose and acesulfame potassium (Ace-K) sweeteners at the 2013 Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) Annual Meeting and Food Expo in Chicago, July 14 to 16 at McCormick Place, booth #1629.

“New DULCENT aspartame, sucralose and Ace-K products provide a wide range of functionality and sweetness profiles to meet a broad range of foods and beverages needs,” said Nate Yates, sweeteners business director. “These high potency sweeteners allow formulators to select just the right non-nutritive sweetener for their application, and they give procurement managers a new source from a trusted ingredient supplier.”

Primary applications for the new high potency sweeteners include beverages, confectionery, dairy—especially yogurt and ice cream—and bakery.
