And if they want to keep sugar in their diet, NUTRIOSE® has half the calories of sugar and no taste of its own. So adding NUTRIOSE® to your food won’t affect the sweet taste of sugar while reducing it.

NUTRIOSE® is an ingredient and excellent bulking agent, so it can be used as a sugar replacement with a 1-for-1 ratio in most applications. Furthermore, NUTRIOSE® works well in combination with high intensity sweeteners such as sucralose, aspartame, and Reb A (STEVIA). A combination of NUTRIOSE® with a high intensity sweetener can offer a combined solution of sweetness, nutrition and health.
