    How Sweet is SweetBiotix®?

    The Flavor and Sensory Science Center at the University of Reading carried out a recent study. Six SweetBiotix® customized oligosaccharides developed from high intensity sweeteners were compared to sucrose. The study used a trained expert panel of ten experienced panelists and demonstrated:

    • The customized oligosaccharides showed sweetness of between 140X and 223X that of sucrose at equivalent concentrations
    • Customized oligosaccharides derived from Stevia showed a large reduction in bitterness whilst not affecting its sweetness
