Some current options on the market (monk fruit and apple, for example) are known but they are difficult to handle and/or have limited availability. We want to offer a healthy option which maintains the taste and texture that consumers love in our products.
Waste stream ingredients to lower cost of premium sweeteners; new uses/combination/modification of sweeteners listed below/ cellular agriculture/ precision fermentation/ ingredients used in other industries (pharma, supplements, medical food, etc)
