Bioenergy Life Science Launches Rebaudioside-M Sweetener “PureSweet”
Bioenergy Life Science (BLS) has introduced PureSweet™ Reb M as their new natural sweetener which provides consumers with a sugar-like taste experience without any calorie content. BLS developed PureSweet™ Reb M from stevia plants to fulfil consumer needs for natural sweeteners with reduced sugar content. The new sweetener provides outstanding taste quality and maintains stability in various food and beverage applications and nutritional products while supporting the worldwide transition toward clean-label better-for-you alternatives and food product development focused on health and wellness.
Rebaudioside-M Sweetener “PureSweet”:
Bioenergy Life Science developed PureSweet as an ultra-pure Reb M sweetener for food manufacturers seeking food product sugar replacer solutions with authentic sugar flavour. The company developed PureSweet through a proprietary method which eliminates contaminants to solve the problem of finding clean-label ingredients with pure flavour. The zero-calorie natural sweetener PureSweet works well in various product formulations including beverages and baked goods and dietary supplements.
- PureSweet represents an extremely pure version of Rebaudioside M (Reb M) which stems from stevia leaves and delivers 200–300 times the sweetness of regular sugar.
- The product delivers a pure taste experience without any bitter notes or lingering flavours while being calorie-free and allowing deep sugar content reduction in final products.
PureSweet” is made from:
The production of Reb M sweetener happens through three different methods which include Stevia rebaudiana plant leaf extraction and stevia compound bioconversion using enzymes and microbial fermentation of basic sugars. The commercial production of Reb M for large-scale use depends on bioconversion and fermentation techniques because these methods provide both affordability and market accessibility.
- From the stevia plant leaf: The Stevia rebaudiana plant contains Reb M naturally but at extremely small amounts which makes leaf extraction unsuitable for commercial production.
- Enzymatic bioconversion: The conversion of Reb A and other abundant steviol glycosides into Reb M happens through enzyme-based reactions.
- Microbial fermentation: Microorganisms transform basic sugars into Reb M through this production method. The companies Amyris and Manus Biosynthesis employ fermentation technology to produce Reb M from sustainably cultivated sugarcane at affordable prices.
Targeting Sugar reducing formulation:[1]
- The steviol glycoside Reb M originates from stevia leaves. The natural sweetness of Reb M exceeds sucrose by 200-300 times while the food and beverage sector show rising interest in this ingredient.
- McDonagh views Reb M from BLS as an ingredient which extends beyond its role as a sweetener.
- The ingredient serves as a foundation for creating new products. Our proprietary technology enables us to create functional health-oriented solutions which match the changing needs of modern consumers.
- Enables creation of functional, health-conscious product development solutions promoting metabolic wellness and clean-label products
- The ingredient PureSweet functions in low- or zero-sugar product development for sports drinks and energy beverages and coffee beverages and shakes and meal replacements and energy bars and frozen desserts and baked goods and confectionery and dietary supplements including gummies.
Benefits of stevia:
- The market offers stevia which contains 250 times more sweetness than regular sugar.
- Users need to mix stevia with other ingredients and additives because its powerful sweetness produces unpleasant tastes. [2]
- The combination of stevia’s zero-calorie content with its intense sweetness makes it an ideal choice for weight management diet products.
- The plant-based origin of stevia allows its use in vegan products which serve a large and growing consumer base.
