The Chinese patent is aligned with the Company’s other global IP on Reb M production
PureCircle, the world’s leading producer and innovator of great-tasting stevia sweeteners for the global beverage and food industries, was recently granted a Chinese patent directed to its proprietary process for scaling up production of its flagship, next generation Reb M stevia leaf sweetener.
The company’s proprietary process has enabled it to produce its next generation sweeteners in the significant and reliable quantities beverage and food companies require – and to supply these ingredients cost effectively for its customers. These sweeteners work well in a broad range of no- and low-sugar added beverages and foods.
The Chinese patent is aligned with the Company’s other global IP on Reb M production, and serves to further strengthen the company’s position as the world’s leading supplier of innovative stevia ingredients.
PureCircle has 194 patents granted, and approximately 350 patents pending, globally. Beyond patents, and further enhancing its broad-based intellectual property, the company has extensive trade secrets and know-how resulting from years of leading edge R&D and process optimization in the area of stevia ingredients.
