The Icon Foods SteviaSweet RM95 is a sweetener option for use in clean label snack and bakery applications to provide consumers with a way to elevate products with premium sweetness. The sweetener is made with 95% Rebaudiside M (Reb M) stevia and boasts a flavor profile that's perfectly sweet with no bitter notes, which can be common with stevia-based products. The neutral nature of the sweetener gives it a versatile profile, while also having less sourness, leafy notes, lower astringency and less licorice tastes.
CEO Thom King spoke further on the Icon Foods SteviaSweet RM95 sweetener saying, "With its balanced flavor, SteviaSweet RM95 allows formulators to naturally sweeten with stevia and achieve a clean taste. The result is a flavor remarkably similar to sugar without the need for expensive taste modifiers or maskers, which can also extend development times. This next-generation stevia sweetener will support faster innovation and quicker revenue generation for our customers."
