Solves stevia solubility issues in food and beverages
A world leader in ingredient solutions for healthier food and beverages, Tate & Lyle announced a new addition to its sweetener portfolio – TASTEVA® SOL Stevia Sweetener. An internationally patent-protected breakthrough in stevia technology, this addition expands Tate & Lyle’s ability to help customers solve stevia solubility issues in food and beverages and helps deliver on consumer demand for healthier and tastier, sugar and calorie-reduced products.
Starting from the leaf, TASTEVA® SOL is a premium-tasting stevia that has over 200x the solubility of Reb M and D products on the market. TASTEVA® SOL solves solubility challenges often found in beverage concentrates, dairy fruit preparations, and sweet syrups at high sugar replacement levels. It offers exceptionally good solubility, readily dissolving in concentrates, and remaining soluble at low pH.
This innovation is aligned with growing customer and consumer demand as the market value of stevia is expected to increase by 13% in 2026. In 2022, 32% of US consumers were likely or very likely to buy a product that contains stevia leaf extract (up from 29% in 2020).
Papao Saisnith, Senior Director, Global Marketing & Innovation, Sugar & Calorie Reduction, Tate & Lyle says: “TASTEVA® SOL meets consumer needs as it provides a solution for manufacturers looking to formulate great tasting, clean label sugar reduced products where solubility often becomes a challenge.”
