Specialty ingredients supplier, Nutrinova, will highlight the latest advancements in blending the high intensity sweetener Sunett® (acesulfame K) with the full range of other sweeteners at this year's IFT, as well as focusing upon its reliability as a partner to its customer base with both Sunett and Nutrinova® Sorbates. At booth 1732, visitors can try a selection of different beverages, developed as concepts, in flavored water, juice drinks, energy drinks, dairy drinks, and carbonated soft drinks.

Blends with Sunett are ideal for beverages as they offer a sweet, reliable taste that promotes the quick release of flavors. Customized blending combinations with Sunett offer benefits not only for diet, light and ‘mid-calorie’ drinks but also for traditionally positioned, fully-sugared carbonated soft drinks, iced tea, fruit-flavored beverages and dry mixes. In addition to drinks, Sunett can be applied in candy, gums and chocolate, dairy and baked goods, dips and dressings, table sweeteners, and a range of vitamins and pharmaceutical products. 200 times sweeter than sugar and characterized by a fast-acting impact sweetness, Sunett remains stable through a broad range of pH values and temperatures. Nutrinova’s patent portfolio for Sunett covers its production process and various acesulfame K applications.

Graham Hall, President & Chief Operating Officer at Nutrinova Inc., comments: “We continue to see very strong demand for Sunett at this time, which is being driven by the strength and performance of both the product and our operation, as customers seek reliable quality solutions from suppliers. Nutrinova is Committed to Quality.”

Nutrinova is more than just a supplier of food ingredients. The company is committed to achieving the highest quality products while ensuring food safety and security. Today’s globalization of markets, on the one hand, opens up new sources for ingredients but, on the other hand, increasingly creates the demand for international food quality, safety and security standards, on which customers can rely. At Nutrinova, ‘Food Safety and Security Management’ is an extensive concept with the aim of identifying and eliminating potential defects and risks throughout our whole supply chain - from the purchase of raw materials to the delivery at our customers’ facilities. Within this management concept, the ‘Food Safety’ and ‘Food Security’ aspects are primarily covered through the FPA-SAFE and BRC Global Food Standard audit. Additionally, the ‘Food Security’ aspect is reflected by Nutrinova’s C-TPAT membership. Every supplier of food ingredients should be able to guarantee food manufacturers close traceability - for the safety of manufacturers, food products and consumers.

Nutrinova will also feature its range of premium quality sorbates at the booth with representatives available to discuss the benefits using Nutrinova Sorbates brings to its customer base.
