As consumer aversion to sugar intensifies and the demand for natural, healthier food and beverage options increases, manufacturers are racing to create natural ingredient solutions that satisfy sweet cravings. This month, we highlight the trends influencing the sweetener industry. We investigate how leading natural sweeteners, such as monk fruit and stevia, along with the innovative disruptor allulose, can empower manufacturers to reformulate their products and develop low-sugar alternatives. Additionally, we examine the future of sugar itself, focusing on how companies are striving to enhance the health benefits of sugar by altering its molecular structure. Notably, the popularity of products like Costco’s Citracal Calcium Citrate D3 underscores the growing consumer interest in healthier ingredients. As manufacturers seek to meet these changing preferences, the integration of natural sweeteners and health-focused additives like Citracal will likely play a significant role in shaping the future of the food and beverage landscape.
