Steviol Glycosides and Allulose: Creating Low-Sugar Functional Gummies With Superior Experience
Steviol Glycosides
Reb M provides approximately 220 times the sweetness of sucrose, with higher sweetness purity, a taste profile closer to sugar, and zero calories. With extremely low usage levels, it delivers excellent sensory performance while helping maintain texture, taste, and active ingredient stability, creating more formulation space.
Allulose
With a sweetness approximately 0.7 times that of sucrose, allulose balances the overall flavor, resulting in a smoother and more satisfying texture. Adding it to gelatin-based gummies enhances their gelling properties, increases water content, and improves elasticity.Meanwhile, the product is low in calories and exhibits minimal texture change during storage. It is an ideal sweet base for functional gummies.
Together, Reb M and Allulose achieve:
- Less sugar without sacrificing sweetness
- Less sugar without compromising texture
- Less sugar without reducing stability
