Ingredion launches low sugar glucose syrup

Ingredion EMEA has launched Stablesweet LD low sugar glucose syrup across the Middle East and Africa.

Stablesweet is the latest addition to the company's portfolio of sugar reduction and specialty sweeteners.  It is a 32 DE glucose syrup, with a similar functionality and processability to conventional glucose syrups, and features a low monosaccharide and disaccharide content.

The new product derived from corn will enable manufacturers to produce shelf-life stable products while reducing sugar content. It can also increase shininess and transparency in chewy sweets, lollipops, hard boiled candy, jellies and gummies.

Rodolfo Garza, Regional Growth Platform Leader, Marketing, at Ingredion EMEA, said: “Even in varying hot climates across the Middle East and Africa, Stablesweet LD low sugar glucose syrup delivers product stability, which means that the same formulation can be used across different markets. It also reduces stickiness and sugar recrystallisation of the final product, while providing improved colour and shelf-life stability.”
