Sweeteners

Nutrinova’s Sunett® Acesulfame potassium is the corner stone of innovative sweetening systems, providing sugar-like taste without the calories.

Consumer trends towards reducing sugar intake and calories have led Food, Beverage and Pharmaceutical manufacturers to adapt their formulations. These sugar reduction goals are achieved by using innovative sweetening systems, wherein combinations of high intensity sweeteners are used to mimic the taste of sugar. Nutrinova’s Sunett® Acesulfame potassium plays an important role in these systems by complementing the taste characteristics of other sweeteners.

In pharmaceutical products Sunett® is not only used to reduce sugar, but also to make drugs with bitter active ingredients more palatable, thereby improving patient compliance.  It is widely used in orally administered medicines such as syrups, granules, tablets, and medicated chewing gum.

Nutrinova discovered and commercialized Sunett® Acesulfame potassium, a high intensity sweetener that is 200 times sweeter than sugar. Its excellent stability and solubility make it easy to use. Produced in Germany, Sunett® is extremely high quality and available in several grades and particle sizes making it useful in foods, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and oral care applications.

Preservatives

Ever since the discovery of the anti-microbial properties of sorbates, Nutrinova is leading the way in making sorbic acid and potassium sorbate available to a wide variety of industries.

Ensuring safety of products over shelf-life, is critical to manufacturers and consumers alike. Adding a preservative is key to preventing microbial spoilage over time. Nutrinova is serving the food & beverage, feed, pharma and personal care and cosmetic industry with the preservatives sorbic acid and potassium sorbate for over 50 years. More recently, in search for more consumer- and environmentally friendly preservatives and driven by regulatory changes, manufacturers of household cleaning products and adhesives discovered the benefits of potassium sorbate.

The high purity and safety of Nutrinova’s sorbates makes it ideal as a pharmaceutical excipient in a variety of drugs such as syrups lotions and ointments.

Nutrinova supports the preservation needs of its customers by delivering superior quality sorbates. We ensure future use in the various industries by actively working with regulatory agencies.
