Energy sweetener

Cargill’s Xtend Isomaltulose is a fully digestible, sustained energy sweetener that can be used in beverages and foods where extended energy is desired. It is obtained from sucrose by enzymatic conversion and has the same energy value as sucrose, but is digested at a slower rate and is completely absorbed, resulting in sustained release of energy. Additionally, the U.S. Food and Drug administration has announced that it will allow the claim that isomaltulose does not promote tooth decay.

Delivering Protein in Great Tasting, Everyday Foods

This webinar will feature an overview of a range of every day foods and review formulating techniques that will enhance the nutritional quality of these foods – particularly regarding adding protein – but also covering gluten-free and vegan approaches. We’ll cover items from breakfast, lunch and dinner – including snacks & beverages and a 100% gluten-free, vegan pizza!

As the North American beverage market continues to experience growth, the categories fueling this performance are not the top performers of yesteryear. Instead the future vision for the beverage industry is coming from smaller factions.
