Bayn Europe launches new sweetener blend

Swedish natural and healthy sweeteners manufacturer, Bayn Europe, has developed a new sweetener blend, Eureba 918, based on a selected steviol glycoside composition.

The taste profile of this sweetener blend can be enhanced by the use of the taste modifying properties of dietary fibres.

Owing to a lesser content of Rebaudioside A (RebA), Eureba 918 is said to be a cost-effective way of developing sugar-reduced products.

Bayn Europe product director Suzanne Preddie-Atterby said: "The components of EUREBA 918 resulted in a familiar sweet taste profile and gave the sugar-reduced products a better overall sensory profile, as well as a higher solubility.

"We have found that EUREBA 918 works exceptionally well in many applications, such as sauces, fruit preparations, chocolate syrup, dairy products and beverages."

Many believe that steviol glycoside compositions containing a high level of the steviol glycoside RebA have a better taste profile, Bayn’s sensory analysis proves that this is not always true.

Bayn Nordic sales director Ange Mertner said: "EUREBA 918 stands out as a great choice of high-intensity sweetener for food and beverage applications.

"Aftertaste and lingering sensations have always been an issue with intense sweeteners, but as seen in our sensory analysis comparison, these side effects are reduced in EUREBA 918.

"The possibility to lower the price by using EUREBA 918 compared to other high purity RebA based sweeteners is an advantage for producers that always have cost in use in mind through product development to product launch."
