Swiss Research unveils Shugr 5X and Shugr 10X
Shugr, which is 99.5% natural, is made from sugars that occur naturally in such good-tasting healthy foods as fruits, vegetables, corn and dairy products.
29/04/05 Shugr, which is promoted as the world's first natural, zero-calorie sweetener that tastes, cooks and bakes like cane sugar, is now available to commercial users in two highly efficient new formats: Shugr 5X and Shugr 10X The two new products were announced this week by the manufacturer and marketer of Shugr, Swiss Research, Inc. of Los Angeles, CA, a Health Sciences Group company.
Shugr 5X and Shugr 10X are ideal formats for formulating cookies, desserts, beverages, baked goods - even compressible tablets. Economical and yet a close match to cane sugar, Shugr 5X and Shugr 10X dissolve easily and demonstrate good binding properties as well as great taste.
Shugr, which is 99.5% natural, is made from sugars that occur naturally in such good-tasting healthy foods as fruits, vegetables, corn and dairy products. Called erythritol, maltodextrin and tagatose, these natural sugars provide a clean and delicious sweet taste. Erythritol is commonly found in melon, grapes, mushrooms and soy. Maltodextrin is derived from corn sugar, which is non-GMO and gluten-free. Tagatose comes from dairy products, but does not affect people who are lactose intolerant. Tagatose also provides an added health benefit - prebiotic fiber that promotes intenstinal health, much the way yogurt does.
All of these ingredient carry a GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) designation for food safety from the US Food & Drug Administration. The remaining one-half of one percent (less than .005 gram per teaspoon) is a trace amount of sucralose which adds a final high note to the extraordinary sweet taste of Shugr. Shugr does not contain any aspartame, cane sugar, acesulfame-K, saccharin, high fructose corn syrup, neotame, fructose, honey or stevia.
