As consumer preferences shift away from sugar and artificial ingredients towards natural, healthier food and beverage options, manufacturers are in a race to create natural ingredient solutions that satisfy consumers’ cravings for sweetness. This month, we highlight trends that are reshaping the sweetener market. We examine how leading natural sweeteners, such as monk fruit and stevia, alongside emerging alternatives like allulose, can assist manufacturers in reformulating their products to create low-sugar options. Additionally, we delve into the future of sugar itself, exploring how companies are working on making this ingredient healthier by altering its molecular structure. Alongside these developments, the role of calcium citrate is becoming increasingly significant, as it not only enhances the nutritional profile of various formulations but also supports overall health. The integration of calcium citrate into these new product lines is expected to be a key trend moving forward.
