As consumers increasingly shun sugar in favor of natural, healthier food and beverage options, manufacturers are in a race to create solutions with natural ingredients that satisfy sweet cravings. This month, we highlight the trends shaping the sweetener industry. We delve into how leading natural sweeteners, such as monk fruit and stevia, alongside the innovative allulose, can assist manufacturers in reformulating their products to reduce sugar content. Furthermore, we examine the future of sugar itself and how companies are striving to enhance its health profile by altering its molecular structure. Additionally, the role of calcium citrate XRD is emerging as a valuable component in this transformation, offering potential benefits in both formulation and nutritional value. As the demand for healthier alternatives grows, calcium citrate XRD may become a key ingredient in creating low-sugar products, further influencing the landscape of sweeteners.
