      Bei PureCircle handelt es sich nach eigenen Angaben um den Weltmarktführer, Marktanteil 80%, des Zuckerersatzstoffes \"Reb-A\".
      \"Reb-A\" ist 150 mal süsser als Zucker und kalorienfrei.
      Beliefert werden von PureCircle u.a. PepsiCo, Cargill, Whole Earth.

      Gestern wurden die Halbjahreszahlen (31.12.08) für das Geschäftsjahr 2008/09 veröffentlicht:

      http://www.londonstockexchange.com/LSECWS/IFSPages/MarketNew…

      Demzufolge sind die Einnahmen zum Vorjahreszeitraum von 14,458 Mio US$ auf 21,564 US$ (+ 49%)und die Gewinne pro Aktie von 0,94 USCent auf 1,55 US$ (+65%) gestiegen.

      Hochgerechnet auf das volle Geschäftsjahr ergibt dies einen Gewinn pro Aktie von 3,10 US$ (= 2,45â¬).
      Der aktuelle Kurs liegt bei ca. 1,75 €, das KGV demzufolge bei
      0,72.

      Wenn man diese Zahlen und die positiven Aussichten im Geschäftsbericht liest, sollte man annehmen, dass man mit dieser Aktie nicht viel verkehrt machen kann, um Gewinne zu erzielen.

      Warum dümpelt sie dann aber bei 1,75 € rum und bewegt sich nicht nach oben? Liegt es nur an der Finanzkrise? Wo sind die \"Holzfüsse\" oder was sind die \"Leichen im Keller\"?

      Haupthandelsplatz ist London (PURE).

      Habe am Wochenende an einer medizinischen Fortbildung teilgenommen.
      Dabei wurde in einem Beitrag über Diabetes mellitus von einem Diabetologen (Arzt für Innere Medizin mit spezieller Weiterbildung in der Behandlung der Zuckerkrankheit)auf den Süßstoff der Stevia Pflanze als Zuckerersatzstoff hingewiesen und ausdrücklich empfohlen.

      In Fachkreisen ist Stevia also schon angekommen.

      Wenn man bedenkt, dass es in jeder größeren Klinik eine spezielle Diabetessprechstunde gibt und sich vorstellt, dass dort womöglich gezielt auf Stevia-Produkte hingewiesen wird, müßte die Nachfrage danach massiv ansteigen.

      Für dieses Einsatzgebiet ergibt sich alleine in Deutschland ein riesiges Käuferpotential; und wenn man England und die USA noch hinzurechnet ergeben sich unglaubliche Möglichkeiten.

      PureCircle als Marktführer von Stevia-Produkten müßte davon überproportional profitieren.

      Es kommen spannende Zeiten auf PureCircle-Interessierte zu.

      Hallo Bettler,

      Mir schien erstmal nur die Geschäftsausrichtung interessant -grundsätzlich dürften solche Art Unternehmen(irgendwelche Art von "Spezialfirmen" in Sachen Nahrung) IMO in Zukunft einige Chancen haben, hatte von Denen Unternehmen schonmal gehört.


      Hab hier noch einen Bericht zu gesehen, also anhand von aktuellen Geschäftszahlen &Bewertungsmassstäben nicht wirklich günstig bewertet, wobei das bei solchen Unternehmen &Stadien auch schwer zu bewerten ist -sollten sie aber die Prognosen erreichen, könnte sich das über die nächsten 2, 3 Jahre stark ändern(habe allerdings inzwischen auch schon eine Menge, Menge, netter, Prognosen gesehen -&was die wert sind, muss man ja versuchen selber rauszubekommen, kann ich hier nichts zu sagen):

      Ich bin in PureCircle investiert und wünsche mir die Zockergilde trotzdem nicht. Möglicher Weise steigt dann der Kurs, aber auf jeden Fall die Volatilität und Beschimpfungen oder Beiträge anderer unqualifizierter Art werden dann auch diesen Thread überschwemmen.
      So wie es jetzt läuft ist es mir auf jeden Fall lieber: langsam aber stetig nach oben - und wenn das Management dann noch einen guten Job mit steigenden Gewinnen liefert, was wollen wir mehr?
      Warten wir also gespannt den nächsten Quartalsbericht ab.

      Also auf den EMI würde ich gar nichts setzen. Das läuft fast immer nach dem Prinzip ab: irgendwo haben die einen Report ausgekramt, der irgendeinem Unternehmen in den Folgejahren meist immens hohe Umsatz- &Gewinnsteigerungen in Aussicht stellt. Deren Prinzip läuft dann eigentlich immer so: Das schnell aufs KGV hochgerechnet(vielleicht noch ein paar Kunden &die rieeesen Zukunftsmärkte angefügt o.ä.), allerdings annähernd keine Reflektierung von Chance vs. Risiko -da man dazu, auf ansprechendem Niveau, nicht in der Lage ist, wird das dann einfach à lá "spekulative Anleger greifen zu"/ein X-Bagger ist sehr gut drin etc. interpretiert.

      Das ist keine Kunst. Das kann so ziemlich jeder -spätestens jedenfalls, wenn er lesen &schreiben kann. :laugh::laugh:


      Die meisten, was ich bisher beobachtet habe, enden als Flops &das deftig. Das soll aber noch nichtmal heissen, daß das alles schlecht wäre(ich find da durchaus ab- &an mal einige auf den 1sten Blick interessant), nur sie machen sich keine wirkliche Arbeit &rücken das nicht ins richtige Licht. Jede Möglichkeit steht nun mal in einem "Spannungsverhältnis" von Chance/Risiko -dagegen hilft auch nicht Weltmarktführer o.ä. zu sein. :laugh:


      Zu PURE -ich hatte die sozusagen auf der "Watchlist für die nächste Neuvorstellung", hat sich aber leider zuletzt zu gut entwickelt, m.E. nach aber ein interessantes Unternehmen. Vielleicht wird das für mich ja auch nochmal was. Hier hätte ich gern mal einen ausführlicheren Bericht drüber.

      Also auffällig ist schon, daß man für solche Unternehmen teilweise abartige Aufschläge zu einer "normalen" Bewertung, anhand von Umsätzen- &Gewinnen, bezahlt, wie hier z.B. zu sehen: www.glglifetech.com/assets/downloads/Corporate-Fact-Sheet-fe… -aber dafür geben solche Geschäftsmodelle halt auch eine ganze Menge Phantasie her.

      Soweit Ich weiß, ist GLG der "vertragliche" Stevia Lieferant für Coca Cola (oder gehört zum teil Cola) -
      Allerdings ist das wohl schon mit in den Kurs einberechnet.Zusätlich legte er Dezember/Janaur die erste Really hin,als das durch die FDA Stevia zugelassen wurde.
      Erste Sprite mit Stevia Versuche sind wohl alerdings nicht so glücklich verlaufen.
      Würde eher auf Pure Circle setzen, sehen flexibler aus und haben sich noch nicht so festgelegt (das kann man positiv als auch negativ werten)

      Angaben ohne Gewähr, hab mich das letzte mal im Januar damit auseinander gesetzt.

In den USA geht es wohl schneller. Hier ist die Zulassung für A95-Stevia bereits erfolgt. Sunwin wird wohl demnächst einen GRAS-Antrag stellen, evt. mit Hilfe ihres Partners Wild flavour.

      PureCircle establishing stevia’s sustainability early on - FoodNavigator - Apr 3, 2009

      - By Jess Halliday -
      www.foodnavigator.com/Financial-Industry/PureCircle-establis…

      "The supply chain for stevia is sound and sustainable, says PureCircle, which is communicating the ethical values behind its high purity Reb-A sweetener in keeping with the natural image.


      Reb-A has atracted huge interest in the last 18 months as a natural zero calorie sweetener. Although European approval is yet to be achieved, Reb-A with 95 per cent or more purity steviol glycosides can now be used in food and beverage products in the key markets of the US, Australia and New Zealand.

      “It is important to start from the very beginning that the supply chain story is nothing to be concerned about,” Dorn Wenninger, corporate VP of supply chain at PureCircle, told FoodNavigator.com.

      Stevia is not a large scale commodity crop like corn and sugar. Rather, the average size of a stevia plantation today is less than one hectare – and Pure Circle currently has 15,000 hectares contracted in Kenya Paraguay, Columbia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand and China.

      “Stevia is a cash crop in rural environments, in today’s commodity market that is very favourable,” Wenninger said. The company is able to give a firm price to farmers a minimum of one year in advance, an assurance that enables them to make decisions on what to grow.

      He declined to give precise figures, saying it is market driven, depends on the country, and is hard to generalise. But he said that the assured income helps discourage rural migration to the cities in search of better job prospects.

      “Stevia is being met enthusiastically, there is no shortage of growers looking to grow it."


      Coordination

      The model for coordinating so many small farmers is unique in every country. In some places PureCircle works with well-established cooperatives whose members grow a variety of crops, including stevia; in others, it works with community committees; and in others, such as China, government offices have been set up especially for stevia.

      The company also runs model farms to which it invites farmers, cooperatives and governments for demonstrations on good agricultural practices and increasing yields. In each country there are between three and five experts, who have PhDs or masters degrees in agronomy and carry out visits to individual farms, as well as local support workers who can number in the hundreds.

      One of the challenges of working with such a huge number of farmers is quality control. However PureCircle is a vertically integrated company, which enables checks throughout the whole process – from propagation of plant material, through to farming, extraction of steviol glycosides, and purification.

      “We do every one ourselves, and people on the ground can check every stage of production.”


      Extraction locations

      Over the last 30 years the main market for stevia has been in Japan and Korea. This means that, historically, a large part of the world’s stevia crop is grown in Asia, and it makes sense to carry out the extraction close to the growing area. PureCircle’s main extraction plant is in JiangXi, China, which has a capacity of 45,000 tonnes of leaf.

      While for now PureCircle has to transport stevia grown in the Americas and Africa to Asia for extraction, local extraction capability is in the pipeline as it expects to break ground on two new facilities in Kenya and Paraguay in the next six to 12 months.


      NGO cooperation

      Wenninger is on the international board directors of an NGO called Amigos de las Americas, which carries out public health projects in Central and Southern Americas.

      One of Amigos’ development projects is San Pedro in Paraguay, one of the largest Stevia growing areas. PureCircle has recently made a $25,000 donation to allow volunteers to take part in community projects here – such as the building of new stoves.

      Traditionally the people use wood burning stoves to cook food, but their inefficiency means they contribute to unnecessary deforestation. The new stoves still burn wood, as the intention is not to interfere in traditions, but they do so more efficiently.

      In time, PureCircle expects to offer the opportunity for its own employees to volunteer in the projects. Wenninger said the company will also “definitely look at other NGOs in other countries”. "

      Is stevia’s market potential limited by cost? - AP-Food Technology - 22-Apr-2009

      - By Caroline Scott-Thomas -
      www.ap-foodtechnology.com/Publications/Food-Beverage-Nutriti…

      "Stevia’s expense compared to other sweeteners is a major market limitation, according to a new paper on the stevia market, although industry players say they are working to bring its price down.


      There has been much excitement about the promise of stevia as a natural alternative to artificial zero-calorie sweeteners, particularly since the FDA issued its non-objection in December that the stevia-derived sweetener Reb A is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) as a food additive. That decision led to a spate of Reb A-sweetened product releases, including ones from beverage titans PepsiCo and Coca-Cola.

      The paper, from business research organization KnowGenix, said: “There are several limitations to the growth of stevia markets. The key ones relate to economics as stevia products are currently more expensive than other high-intensity sweetener products.”

      This is a view supported by California-based sucralose distributor ISI. The company’s director of sales and marketing Bassam Faress told FoodNavigator-USA.com: “Of course stevia is a challenge. But there’s such a difference in price that we’re not really worried.”

      However, he added that prices for both stevia-derived sweeteners and sucralose vary so widely between manufacturers that it is difficult to pinpoint exactly how big the price difference is.

      Head of international marketing at PureCircle Angus Flood would not disclose the price of the company’s PureVia-brand Reb A but said: “The PureCircle view is that we aim to optimize value in use, which isn’t just about cost reduction…We are committed to providing this as a mainstream ingredient.”

      He added that part of bringing it into the mainstream does involve trying to lower its price in relation to other sweeteners.

      “The main thing is scale,” he said. “It’s that common business principle: The more you sell, the cheaper it becomes to manufacturers. It’s all about building scale and availability…We understand that if we can respond to – and drive – market demand, that will bring the price down.”


      Other challenges

      The KnowGenix paper added that there are also challenges for stevia in terms of finished product consistency and its reported “distinct aftertaste”, although there has been concerted effort from various companies to eliminate these effects.

      Several major flavor companies, for instance, including Givaudan, Comax and Symrise, have developed ranges of bitter blockers, flavor maskers and sweetness enhancers specifically for use with stevia.

      The paper, entitled Stevia as an Alternative Sweetener – Promise and Challenges, was prepared by KnowGenix in collaboration with the Center for Management Technology ahead of CMT’s Stevia World Conference, due to take place on May 14 and 15 in Shanghai, China.

      The paper covers the entire stevia sweeteners market, not only high-purity Reb A.

      The researchers have said they are seeking industry feedback on the paper, which is available via www.cmtevents.com . "

      Cargill develops flavor solutions for stevia - FoodQuality - Apr 28, 2009

      - By Caroline Scott-Thomas -
      www.foodqualitynews.com/Publications/Food-Beverage-Nutrition…

      "There are now even more options for food manufacturers seeking to reformulate with stevia-derived sweeteners, as Cargill becomes the latest to launch a flavor range to deal with their potentially problematic aftertaste.


      The licorice or bitter flavors associated with the Reb A stevia extract – also known as rebiana, or rebaudioside A – have presented difficulties for companies wishing to use the sweetener, and flavor companies have been trying to find ways to mask it without detracting from the perceived benefits of its natural status.

      Cargill said that it is taking a dual-layered approach, starting with its patented technology examining taste responses to Reb A “at a cellular level” and then developing flavor solutions based on these findings.

      The company said that its new flavor solutions are suitable for cereal, yogurt, ice cream, confectionery and “various beverage applications including carbonated soft drinks and flavored water that benefit from a natural, reduced calorie product positioning.”

      Technical director at Cargill Flavor Systems Dr Paul Kim said: “Cargill’s ability to quickly develop these flavors builds on a broad product portfolio from masking technology to sweetness enhancing flavors for rebiana sweetened foods and beverages. Cargill Flavor Systems taps into the world-class technology pool that no other food ingredient or flavor company can offer.”


      Other options

      Cargill is the latest in a long line of firms to investigate possible solutions for flavor masking and sweetness enhancement for food and beverage applications with Reb A.

      In a similar announcement in February, Givaudan said that it was in the process of applying for patents related to what it claimed was its discovery of the bitter taste receptors triggered by the sweetener – technology that would form the basis of its flavor solutions for stevia.

      Other flavor firms, including Symrise and Comax, have also developed ranges of bitter blockers, flavor maskers and sweetness extenders specifically for use with stevia. And Reb A supplier PureCircle joined with flavor company Firmenich in January, in order to capitalize on the ingredient’s potential as a flavor enhancer, as well as to speed its commercial use by using Firmenich’s flavor masking and sweetness enhancing technologies.

      Cargill teamed up with Coca-Cola last year to develop their own stevia-derived product called Truvia, while PepsiCo partnered with the Whole Earth Sweetener Company (a subsidiary of Merisant) to produce its own brand called PureVia.

      Cargill and Merisant received letters of no objection from the FDA in December that their Reb A ingredients were generally recognized as safe (GRAS), effectively opening the floodgates to companies looking to use the natural, zero-calorie sweetener in their products. "

      Interest in the sweetener has been intense, particularly since the FDA issued its non-objection in December that the stevia-derived sweetener Reb A is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) as a food additive.

      Differentiation must be made between rebaudiside A and steviol glycosides in general. Rebaudioside A, also known as Reb A and rebiana, is a high-intensity sweetener derived from the stevia leaf. It is said to be approximately 200 times sweeter than sugar.


      Safety

      The majority of the science around stevia and rebaudioside A are related to its safety. A significant body of research was published online in the peer-reviewed journal Food and Chemical Toxicology (July 2008, Vol. 46, Supplement 1, Pages S1-S92), which found that rebiana - a high-purity Rebaudioside A from stevia - is safe for use as a sweetener for foods and beverages.

      An overview in the journal’s supplement by scientists from Coca-Cola, Cargill, and an independent toxicologist said that the studies found the ingredient met all current JEFCA (Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives) specifications for steviol glycosides.

      “The due diligence of the rebiana scientific program reported in this Supplement reflects a commitment by industry partners to, at long last, fully address regulatory requirements for this naturally occurring sweetener by providing the scientific basis to conclude high purity rebaudioside A (rebiana), produced under current GMP to food-grade standards, is safe and appropriate for introduction into the global marketplace,” they concluded.

      The FDA issued letters of no objection to GRAS (generally recognized as safe) status for stevia-based Reb A at 95 percent purity or above in December.


      Flavour masking

      Scientists have also been exploring ways to mask the liquorice or bitter flavours associated with the Reb A stevia extract. The problematic aftertaste has presented difficulties for companies wishing to use the sweetener, and flavour companies have been trying to find ways to mask it without detracting from the perceived benefits of its natural status.

      Cargill recently announced a dual-layered approach, starting with its patented technology examining taste responses to Reb A “at a cellular level” and then developing flavour solutions based on these findings.

      Comax Flavors released a natural masking flavour in March to mask the bitter aftertaste associated with stevia-derived sweetener Reb A.

      A month earlier, Givaudan claimed that it had discovered the bitter taste receptors for stevia, allowing it to focus its flavour ingredients research on blocking the mechanism of these receptors.

      The company has said that it is in the process of applying for patents related to the discovery.


      Photo-stability

      In September a new study from Coca-Cola reported that its high purity stevia extract (rebaudioside A) does not degrade in beverages on exposure to light. Published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, this research was seen as important for establishing the stability of the Stevia rebaudiana (Bertoni)-derived sweetener rebaudioside A.

      The results also challenge an earlier study from the 1980s that reported significant degradation of rebaudioside A on exposure to sunlight, equivalent to one week of sunlight during the summer.

      Health benefits

      Stevia glycosides (SGs) have been reported to not only sweeten but also have some health benefits, including effects on blood pressure and blood sugar levels. Indeed, these observations formed the basis of a citizen’s petition filed by a Washington DC-based law firm called Coburn & Coffman PLLC.

      The petition, filed in October, focused on § 301(ll) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), and was made on the grounds that SGs have been studied for therapeutic uses, thereby contending that SGs are drugs and therefore cannot be legally added to conventional foods.

      In December, FDA concluded that it had no objection to rebiana, (Reb A) at 95 percent purity or above, having GRAS (generally recognized as safe) status as a general purpose sweetener for food and drink, not just as a supplement.

      Other health benefits include a report from Indian researchers in 2007 that stevia may also be a rich source of antioxidants and may protect against DNA damage and cancer.

      According to findings in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry (2007, Vol. 55, pp 10962-10967), researchers led by Srijani Ghanta from the Indian Institute of Chemical Biology in Kolkata reported that an extract from Stevia rebaudiana leaves was found to contain an abundance of antioxidant polyphenols, including quercitrin, apigenin, and kaempferol.

      Ghanta and his co-workers used methanol and ethyl acetate for the extraction, Subsequent tests showed that the extract could protect against DNA strand scission by hydroxide radicals. "

      PureCircle quadruples stevia extract production in Jiangxi - FoodNavigator - Apr 29, 2009

      - By Caroline Scott-Thomas -
      www.foodnavigator-usa.com/Financial-Industry/PureCircle-quad…

      "Major Reb A supplier PureCircle has quadrupled production capacity of stevia extracts at its Jiangxi plant in China as interest in stevia-derived sweeteners continues to grow.


      The number of companies looking to reformulate or release new products using Reb A, the natural high-intensity sweetener from the leaves of the stevia plant, has boomed since the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued letters of no objection that it was generally recognized as safe (GRAS) in December.

      However, there have been concerns that suppliers could struggle to keep up with anticipated demand.

      Corporate vice president for supply chain at PureCircle Dorn Wenninger told FoodNavigator-USA.com: “Lots of people think – mistakenly – that supply chain will be a major limiting factor for stevia. I will admit that it’s complex…but we started expansion in advance of FDA GRAS, knowing that a lot of these projects take a long time…We will be more than doubling our Reb A production over the next 12 months, aiming to produce 10,000 metric tonnes globally.”

      PureCircle’s Jiangxi plant has been running at full capacity over the past 12 months, producing 1,000 metric tonnes of stevia extract, including other steviol glycosides as well as Reb A. It expects to meet its new 4,000-tonne capacity over the year ahead.

      If it does run at capacity, the expanded Jiangxi plant will produce 1,300 to 1,500 tonnes of high purity Reb A in the next 12 months, Wenninger said.


      Waste and water


      The plant expansion, on a 20 hectare site, includes water recycling facilities, meaning that all water used in producing stevia extracts can be returned to the environment at the same quality level, and an on-site biomass energy facility to provide electricity for the local community.

      “Anyone who is scaling up needs a solution for the biomass,” said Wenninger. “We have outsourced electricity production because we are experts in Reb A, but not necessarily in energy.”

      The expansion also includes a factory to convert residual leaf waste into animal feed, housing for 400 employees, and new warehousing for the 50,000-tonne annual throughput of stevia leaf needed to produce 4,000 tonnes of extract.


      Further expansion

      The upgrade and expansion program at Jiangxi took two years and at a cost of $32m, and Wenninger said that PureCircle is looking to further expand its global production.

      China currently produces 90 percent of stevia leaf over a three month harvest period. By expanding further into South America and Kenya, the company hopes to take advantage of different seasonal harvest times around the globe, to create a year-round supply.

      Expansion of its refining facility in Malaysia is expected to be completed by the end of 2010, doubling Reb A production capacity there from 1,000 to 2,000 metric tonnes a year.


      PureCircle made its initial public offering on the London stock exchange in December 2007, in an effort to raise US$50m to fund expansion. "

      Stevia Leaf Rescues the Soda Pop Industry - Feb 4, 2009

      - by Bill Sardi -
      www.bluecal-ingredients.com/whatsnew/news_sardi.php

      "Long shunned by regulators and ignored by food and beverage processors in the U.S., the natural non-calorie sweetener known as rebaudioside A, an extract derived from the green leaves of the stevia plant, is coming to the rescue of the soda pop industry.

      The current widespread financial crisis has States searching for a way to generate new revenues (New York wants an 18% tax that would put an estimated $400 million in its coffers), and using the guise they are interested in taming the burgeoning diabesity epidemic, States aim to tax sweetened soft drinks, allegedly to reduce consumption.

      Facing such a threat, major soft drink manufacturers have quickly ushered in stevia leaf and its extracts for approval by the Food & Drug Administration, and manufacturers have obtained self-affirmed GRAS status (generally regarded as safe) from a panel of independent experts, which gives assurance it is safe to use in the general population.


      FDA foot-dragging on stevia

      The U.S. is late in adopting Stevia as a sweetener. Natural health advocates have grown wary of artificial sweeteners like aspartame, sucralose and saccharin. Even after stevia gained entrance to the U.S., it could not be labeled as a sweetener, only as a dietary supplement, which stunted its adoption by the public.

      Foot-dragging by the FDA over stevia is just another issue that has not bode well with the public. Up till now, tabletop sweeteners at restaurants have been limited to the artificial molecules, like aspartame and sucralose. This is soon to change.

      The U.S. is decades behind other countries in adoption of stevia leaf as a sweetener. Stevia was first used in South America, and was introduced to Japan in the 1970s and by 1988 it comprised 41% of the sweetener market there. It has been used in soft drinks in Japan for a number of years.

      Rebaudioside A and other Stevia products are approved for general food use in Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, Russia, Israel (as of October 2008), Japan, South Korea, Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and in a few other countries. RebA has been approved for use in dietary supplements in the U.S. since 1995.

      Despite widespread use in foreign countries, with an apparent high safety profile, the Center for Science In The Public Interest has taken exception to the FDA’s quick approval of stevia and its extracts.

      A last-minute scientific stir has been created by FDA approval of stevia extract, with arguments from different quarters that stevia needs more testing or that one study showed it may cause DNA mutations. But the FDA had been evaluating reams of data on stevia for years and only chose to approve stevia under recent pressure from the major soft drink makers. It’s obvious that none of the yellow flags being thrown by scientists have anything to do with public safety since these products have been used in human populations for years without apparent harm.

      Just the 1983 increase in the federal tax on cigarettes saved 40,000 lives per year. Just how many cases of diabetes and obesity will be averted with the introduction of stevia is beyond estimation at this point. Some have heralded stevia as a "new drug candidate for the treatment of type 2 (adult onset) diabetes mellitus." [Metabolism 2006 Dec; 55(12):1674–80] Sadly, health promotion appears to be a secondary issue next to the commercial interests of beverage companies to maintain sales and State governments to raise revenues.


      Taste still rules

      Being forced to use stevia via economic pressure certainly doesn’t give major carbonated beverage manufacturers an image as health advocates, but under the threat of a tax that will surely reduce consumption (estimated 5% reduction in sales), and result in removal of all soda pop from vending machines in public schools, fizzy drink makers are certainly going to let the public know about this healthier option on product labels. Millions of consumers are likely to try the first brands that feature stevia and from there it will be up to the public’s taste buds to judge whether stevia becomes a rage among American soft drink users.

      Not every beverage tastes good with stevia. Citrus drinks work best. A Wall Street Journal article says formulators are still working to produce a desirable cola taste with stevia.

      One thing is for sure, as consumers drink more stevia sweetened drinks, the nation will get a better picture of how much high-fructose corn syrup has contributed to diabetes and obesity. The soft drink industry denies its products have contributed to burgeoning waistlines or high blood sugar.


      Stevia suppliers vie for business

      Recently companies like Blue California (Santa Margarita, California) have been able to extract a fraction of stevia leaf to produce an almost pure extract called rebaudioside A that is 400 times sweeter than table sugar. Blue California’s version of this natural sweetener, called Good & Sweet, is the first 97% extract to achieve GRAS status, and the company is ready to supply 1200 metric tons a year to food and beverage makers. Early on, insiders say Good & Sweet is the best-tasting stevia extract so far.

      Good & Sweet will be offered as a tabletop sweetener under the brand name Bestevia™ to be distributed world-wide.

      There are a lot of companies on Blue California’s doorstep these days, with major announcements that Blue California’s Good & Sweet has been selected by major food and beverage manufacturers anticipated soon.

      The bidding for stevia is vigorous as companies seek to sign supply contracts before all the sources of stevia are depleted.

      Other stevia manufacturers are jockeying for bragging rights. This includes the giant agricultural supplier Cargill, and other smaller players. Malaysia-based Pure Circle claims it can produce 1000 metric tons of stevia extract per year now, with larger amounts soon. Pure Circle offers a 95% stevia extract that has achieved GRAS status.

      Cargill has developed Truvia for Coca Cola, but it is a blended sweetener that provides little stevia extract. Merisant supplies its Whole Earth Sweetener under the trade name PureVia for Pepsi Cola.

      China-based Sunwin Internatural Nutraceuticals already sells its OnlySweet product in 4000 grocery stores, as well as bulk 40% stevia extract.

      Consumers are certain to be confused when they see "stevia" emblazoned on soda pop bottles to attract consumers. Some drinks, being blends, are not solely sweetened by stevia, and some include eryrithritol, which is a natural sugar alcohol.

      On those lists of what things are "in" and what things are "out" in the coming year, place aspartame, sucralose and saccharin on the "out" list, and "stevia" on the "in" list. It’s about time. "

      Stevia’s organic potential is not limited, claims PureCircle - AP-Foodtechnology - May 12, 2009

      - By Caroline Scott-Thomas -
      www.ap-foodtechnology.com/Publications/Food-Beverage-Nutriti…

      "Major Reb A supplier PureCircle has disputed recent suggestions that stevia’s potential for use in organic foods could be limited, although it agrees that certification poses problems.


      In a recent report, Euromonitor International’s head of health and wellness Ewa Hudson questioned whether Reb A can satisfy strict organic demands – from both certification bodies as well as consumers – because of its processed nature and diversified cultivation. An article on this perspective can be found here .

      But PureCircle has contested this view, saying that the industry is currently in discussion with organic certifiers around the world to gain ‘approved non-organic status’ for Reb A. This means that the sweetener could be used in organic products without having to gain full organic certification.

      Angus Flood, head of international marketing at PureCircle, told FoodNavigator-USA.com: “We work with small level farmers who can’t necessarily afford the pesticides. It’s good that stevia is very hardy to grow because in many cases you don’t need them. But it’s not possible to provide certification when we work with over 14,000 farmers.”



      Organic thresholds

      In the US, a food must contain at least 95 percent organic ingredients to be labeled organic and carry the USDA’s organic stamp. Any other ingredients also have to be approved, but they must either be unavailable organically or not able to be certified as such. Similar thresholds exist with different certification bodies around the world.

      “The majority of certifiers are in the 90 to 95 percent range,” said Flood. “…Salt, for example, is not certifiable.”

      He said that the large number of farmers providing the company’s stevia supply means that most of its Reb A will not be certified organic, but added: “We do have organic plantations and we do have organic Reb A, but it’s not for the large beverage makers like PepsiCo. We can’t do that volume. But we will be able to supply that to the organic industry on a small scale.”


      ‘Naturally refined’

      Apart from potential problems stemming from stevia’s diversified cultivation, the Euromonitor report also questioned the refining process for obtaining Reb A.

      Hudson said: “The highly refined stevia-based extracts pushed by industry frontrunners are unlikely to satisfy the requirements of either the discerning organic consumer or the very stringent organic certification bodies.”

      However, Flood said that while Reb A is a refined extract, the crude extract – what is left over after plant fibers and water have been removed – is naturally refined using ethanol.

      “It doesn’t follow that small is beautiful and big is bad,” he said. “Large scale is the consistent, stable, reliable way. Every batch has to be the same, it has to be safe and it has to be natural…We think we can clear a bit of confusion because we are actually doing it.”

      The number of companies looking to reformulate or release new products using Reb A, the natural high-intensity sweetener from the leaves of the stevia plant, has boomed since the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued letters of no objection that it was generally recognized as safe (GRAS) in December.

      Ich hätte die wenn zu vielleicht etwa max. 1,50 E gern gehabt(allerhöchstens 2E vielleicht noch). Interessant sind sie IMO trotzdem -sollte das planmässig laufen, dann ist IMO bei so einer Art von Unternehmen wahrscheinlich mal eine Ecke mehr als KGV10 drin. Aber nicht vergessen -Bäume wachsen nicht in den Himmel. ;)

      so ist es meistens mit aktien, die extreme relative stärke zum gesamtmarkt aufbauen. keiner kann wissen was die zukunft bringt, deshalb ist es der wesentlichste punkt bei der börsenspekulation überhaupt, dass zumindest im kopf ein stop-sell kurs ermittelt wird, an dem die reißleine gezogen wird.

      Hallo - interessanter Artikel - Stevia wird kommen - über kurz oder lang :-)

      Steuer auf Zucker ! Das wäre sinnvoll - die Lobbies werden Amok laufen

      Aus der Zeit:

      Respekt. Wer aus einem Stoff, den niemand zum Leben braucht, ein Grundnahrungsmittel macht, hat ein staunenswertes Kunststück in Sachen Marketing vorgeführt. Die Zuckerindustrie hat das tatsächlich geschafft.

      Sagenhafte 100 Gramm Zucker verdrücken die Deutschen pro Tag und Kopf. Auch weil die Industrie den süßen Stoff überall dort versteckt, wo er nicht hingehört: in Getränken, Fertigprodukten, Saucen, Wurst ebenso wie in vermeintlich gesunden Nahrungsmitteln wie Joghurt, Müsli oder Cornflakes. Wer nach Ursachen für die grassierende Fettleibigkeit in den Industrienationen sucht – bei den überzuckerten Lebensmitteln wird er fündig.
      Anzeige
      Bitte hier klicken!

      Jetzt aber haben die USA den Zuckerbomben den Krieg erklärt. Einige Bundesstaaten, allen voran Maine und New York, wollen saftige Steuern für die wichtigsten Übeltäter einführen, für Softdrinks und Snacks. Ähnliche Überlegungen gibt es in der Obama-Administration. Denn die industriell geförderte Zuckersucht kostet das Gesundheitssystem Millionen.

      Natürlich steht die amerikanische Getränkeindustrie bereits auf den Zinnen. Doch die Strafsteuer sollte trotzdem kommen – nicht nur in Übersee. Auch in Deutschland könnte so eine fiskalische Ernährungserziehung doppelt segensreich wirken: Indem sie den Zuckerkonsum senkt, verringert sie die hohen Kosten des Krankenstands durch chronische Leiden. Zugleich könnten die Erlöse bei der Sanierung der (momentan leeren) Staatskassen helfen.

      Entgegen den Beteuerungen der Lobbyisten braucht der Körper keineswegs Kohlenhydrate – und Zucker schon gar nicht. Glukose ist zwar ein wichtiger Brennstoff, vor allem für die Muskulatur, und praktisch der einzige Energielieferant für das Gehirn. Der Mensch hat dennoch Hunderttausende Jahre fast nur von Eiweiß und Fett gelebt. Daraus stellt der Organismus im Handumdrehen so viel Zucker her, wie er benötigt. Ohne diese Fähigkeit hätte Homo sapiens die Steinzeit erst gar nicht überlebt – Kohlenhydrate lieferten vor der Agrarwirtschaft nur wilde Gräser und Wurzeln, manchmal auch Bienenvölker.

      Weitsichtig stellte der Ökonom Adam Smith schon 1776 fest, dass Zucker, Rum und Tabak »äußerst geeignete Ziele der Besteuerung« seien. Denn diese Güter würden großflächig konsumiert, seien aber keinesfalls lebenswichtig. Bei den Genussgiften Nikotin und Alkohol folgte man seinem Rat. Die deutsche Zuckersteuer wurde dagegen 1993 abgeschafft. Man sollte sie wieder einführen – für alle Nahrungsmittel, in die mehr Zucker gesteckt wird, als sich für ein Gewürz gehört.

      Stevia reference standards developed for Food Chemical Codex - AP FoodTechnology - 03-Jun-2009

      - By Caroline Scott-Thomas -
      www.ap-foodtechnology.com/Industry-drivers/Stevia-reference-…

      "US Pharmacopeia (USP) has developed a set of new reference standards for stevia-derived sweeteners Reb A and stevioside for inclusion in the Food Chemical Codex (FCC).

      Interest in the use of Reb A in food and beverages in the US has increased sharply following the recent Food and Drug Administration (FDA) letters of no objection to GRAS (generally recognized as safe) status for Reb A – also known as rebaudioside A or rebiana – at 95 percent purity or above.

      The reference standards for Reb A and stevioside are authenticated pure chemicals that food and beverage manufacturers as well as producers can use to substantiate the quality of their ingredients. This helps to protect against low-quality and potentially adulterated ingredients, thereby helping to ensure food safety.

      Vice president of food, dietary supplement and excipient standards at USP James Griffiths said: “As these ingredients are produced all over the world in widely disparate facilities, their authenticity, quality and purity cannot be taken for granted. It is thus important for ingredient producers who want to safeguard their products to demonstrate the quality of their ingredients to their customers. USP is well poised and committed to providing useful tools for enabling interested parties to readily verify new stevia-based sweeteners.”

      The company added that the use of an authenticated reference material allows for a “rapid and unbiased decision” for quality checks and regulators.

      Other tools

      A private agreement for producing reference materials was reached in November between Cargill and ChromaDex, which develops analytical standards for ingredients, to ensure quality and consistency of its Truvia Reb A sweetener, and stevia supplier PureCircle partnered with Cerilliant in March to provide analytical tools to ensure quality benchmarks are met in the production of its PureVia-brand Reb A.

      But USP said that its process differs from these reference standard providers because it has been developed “through an open and transparent process with independent experts”.

      USP has said that its new standards are available now, although the written FCC testing standard for high-purity Reb A is expected to be released on August 31, 2009.

      USP is a private, non-profit, standards-setting organization with the aim of helping to ensure the quality, safety, and benefit of medicines and foods. USP says its standards are recognized and used worldwide. "

      PureCircle expects 420 per cent profit growth - AP FoodTechnology - 08-Jul-2009
      www.ap-foodtechnology.com/Industry-drivers/PureCircle-expect…

      "Pure Circle, supplier of stevia-derived Reb A, is expecting to report a 420 per cent increase in profit in its full year results due to good reception for the first products launched in the US.

      The company listed on London’s AIM in December 2007. It said today that it expects a net profit of at least $11m when it reports its results for the full year ended 30 June in September. Sales are expected to be not less than $62m, up 85 per cent in value terms. Volume-wise sales of the Reb A sweetener look to have increased 130 per cent.

      The boom is being attributed to take up in the US following GRAS notification in late 2008. PureCircle counts beverage giant PepsiCo amongst its 25 customers, and says it is in talks with more than 100 food and drink brands over new product launches. "

      Stevia market needs flavor focus, says Blue California chief - AP FoodTechnology - 04-Aug-2009

      - By Caroline Scott-Thomas -
      www.ap-foodtechnology.com/Publications/Food-Beverage-Nutriti…

      "Industry-wide focus on flavor issues is crucial to the long term success of stevia-derived sweeteners, says the president of Reb A supplier Blue California.

      Taste has continued to be an issue for manufacturers wishing to use Reb A – the sweetener derived from the leaves of the stevia plant – and flavor firms have been scrambling to introduce ‘stevia solutions’ for blocking bitterness and extending sweetness. But Cecilia McCollum, president and CEO of Blue California, says that a strong focus on purity should quash flavor issues.

      She told FoodNavigator-USA.com: “Taste was a real concern for us because we have seen products that have not sold well. When it comes to Reb A, the only reason it exists is because it tastes better than other products from stevia extract…We have an opportunity as an industry to make a real change to give consumers a zero calorie option with great taste that’s also natural.”



      FDA GRAS

      Blue California recently became the third company to receive an FDA non-objection letter that its Good & Sweet Reb A brand is GRAS (generally recognized as safe), effectively entering what has until now been a two-horse race run by Cargill and Merisant, which both received FDA GRAS letters of no objection in December 2008.

      Cargill has its own brand of Reb A, called Truvia, and has collaborated with Coca-Cola, while Merisant, a subsidiary of the Whole Earth Sweetener Company, has released its PureVia brand and is working with PepsiCo.


      Food products

      Blue California, on the other hand, says it is focusing on introducing the sweetener in food products and expects the first product containing Good & Sweet to appear on grocery shelves in August, although McCollum said she is unable to provide further details before its release.

      Blue California self-affirmed its ingredient as GRAS just days before Cargill and Merisant received FDA notification about their ingredients. Major global firms, however, have tended to only accept FDA GRAS as proof of ingredient safety.

      “Our interest in the Reb A market was a bit later than Cargill and Merisant, so we were just a little bit behind,” said McCollum. “Confirmation of GRAS is really a plus. We were in a great position in that we were able to learn from the other dossiers that were coming out…We’re talking science here: We all have to learn for everyone.”


      Production capacity

      She said that for now, Blue California is producing Reb A to meet its customers’ demand, but it could ramp up production at its Jiangxi, China facility to as much as 100 metric tonnes a month if demand significantly expanded.

      In addition, for larger orders, McCollum claims that Good & Sweet has a price “way below that of sugar”, but it is taste that will drive the market forward.

      “Any food or beverage that is sweet without the calories makes sense, especially when you are using a natural sweetener…If something is missing – taste, safety, sweetness, cost – it’s not going to work.

      “But taste is critical. That’s the reason it exists. Otherwise everyone would be using steviol glycosides.” "

      Hi,

      Mir hat jemand ein Canaccord Coverage zu GLG geschickt. Bei Interesse einfach mal die Mailaddresse über BM durchgeben. Da die ja auch schonmal kurz als Konkurenz angesprochen wurden &jemand meinte á là "da ist der Zug schon abgefahren ...", also eine gute Entwicklung haben die zuletzt sicher schon hinter sich -aber das sollte wahrscheinlich auch noch nicht das Ende der Fahnenstange sein.

      PureCircle reviews ‘transformation’, eyes long term - AP FoodTechnology - Sep 23, 2009

      - By Jess Halliday -
      www.ap-foodtechnology.com/Industry-drivers/PureCircle-review…

      "PureCircle has reported a huge boom in sales in the “transformational” 2009 financial year, and has credit facilities that will allow it to expand as stevia sweeteners move towards the big time.

      The supplier of high purity Reb A (rebaudioside A) today reported sales of US$60m in the 2009 financial year (ended 30 June), up from $34.1m in 2008. Sales volumes have soared from 115 tonnes to 266 tonnes.

      In the last year – the year in which Reb A received regulatory approval in the US, Australia, Switzerland and Russia – PureCircle has expanded its Chinese extraction facility to deliver 4000 tonnes; diversified its leaf supply from one country to seven; and set up global sales operations in eight countries across five continents.

      “The last 18 months have been absolutely transformational,” chief financial officer William Mitchell told FoodNavigator.com.

      This huge year saw $63m ploughed into operating assets, which has left PureCircle with a net debt of $47.5m (it ended full year 2008 $16.6m in the black). But Mitchell said the underlying business will be cash generative in a matter of months.

      PureCircle has “a lot of headroom in its debt facilities”, he said, and five year banking facilities were negotiated in May 2009. This means there is scope for even more investment in operations for the sweetener in due course.

      “We believe firmly it will go mass market and become very large, and at that stage when we want to accelerate we will put more investment in.”

      Reb A is expected to be used with sugar in formulations of lower calorie products, and this possibility open up great, mass market opportunities.


      Big time to take time

      With time, market volumes will be “many thousands of tonnes”, while today the industry is talking in hundreds of tonnes. But this scale up will not take one to two years, but “five to seven to ten,” Mitchell predicts.

      The company said: “The next 18 to 24 months are expected to give greater clarity on how fast the large long term market will grow.”

      More insight into development was given by PureCircle chairman Paul Selway Swift, who stated in the financial report: “In the short term, take up depends on the speed of out customers getting new products to market. These launches will inevitably be tougher to programme against the current economic backdrop. Sales growth may therefore be volatile”.

      Mitchell said that the relatively small size of the industry means that a large order of 50 or 60 tonnes of Reb A will mean a sudden surge in sales volumes.

      “At the moment growth is not in a straight line. A big launch will have a big impact until it gets up to scale.”

      Once the industry is up to scale, these deals “will merge into a straight line”.



      Meaningful conversations

      In the full financial year PureCurcle had just one customer, Cargill. It is now also supplying Pepsi and Merisant, and during 2009 made sales to 25 companies.

      Of those 25, 20 were sales of initial trail samples for R&D use, so they were smaller volumes. But the fact that they are buying samples confirms that the discussions are meaningful, said Mitchell.

      Overall, the company says it had “meaningful discussions with over 100 [customers] across all regions and major food and beverage categories”.

      But Mitchell said the regulatory approvals around the world mean that launches will proliferate on a regional basis. It is also expected that Reb A use will grow from beverages into other categories. "

      About Stevia
      Stevia is a plant from the chrysanthemum family that originates from Paraguay in South America. It has been used as a natural sweetener and flavor enhancer for many centuries. In 2008, high-purity (over 95%) Rebaudioside A, a single molecule from the stevia plant, was cleared by the FDA as GRAS (generally regarded as safe) status for use as a sweetener ingredient in beverage and food products. On a weight basis, high purity Rebaudioside A is up to 300 times sweeter than sugar, has zero calories, has a low glycemic index and is heat and pH stable.

      Reassuring numbers on Stevia's Market Potential Shared by William Mitchell, CFO of PureCircle.
      Posted on : 18 Mar, 2009 There’s a lot being said about Stevia, but little available in terms of Solid market figures and concrete projections.

      That’s why we were so excited to discover the video presentation by William Mitchell, CFO of PureCircle, made at the 2nd Agriprods Forum last year in November.

      Mr. Mitchell shared some ground breaking revelations on the market potential of Stevia that we like to share with you. Here are some of the KEY points from his presentation:

      - Stevia will become a major global commodity.- World demand for stevia leaves will exceed 6-8 Million metric tonnes a year in the next ten years.
      - Rebaudioside A (Reb A), an ALL NATURAL zero-calorie sweetener derived from Stevia, can overtake chemical sweeteners in the sweetener markets, because consumers want ‘natural’ products.
      - The markets for Reb A can touch US$10 Billion in a few short years!
      - Reb A sweetener also has the potential to penetrate 20-25% of the sugar market.- Stevia is an exciting cash crop that can promise more returns than coffee, tea and tobacco!

      Will EU Approve Stevia? Experts are saying yes.


      The EU’s ban on stevia places it out of sync with the current global regulatory environment, but it is believed that the EU could grant approval for stevia as early as 2010.

      The European Stevia Association (EUSTAS) which submitted their application to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) believes that the FDA’s decision and JECFA's announcement will influence the EFSA’s decision on stevia.

      When the EU approves Stevia, it will once again create tremendous market opportunities within the stevia sector.

      Stevia-Based Product Successes Fuel New Launch Activity

      http://www.cnbc.com/id/36174213

      OAKBROOK, Ill., April 5, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- PureCircle, the world's leading producer of Natural High Intensity Sweeteners, including Reb A, is pleased to provide this update on the latest developments in the global stevia market.

      Stevia-based product launches continue rapid expansion globally. Thirty-five countries across six continents have now launched a stevia-sweetened product.

      According to Mintel, in 2010, 102 new products sweetened with stevia have been launched, with 37 new products launched in March alone.

      Japan remains the global leader in stevia product launches, with the United States, South Korea, and Brazil showing increased activity in the month of March. Key categories that have benefitted from the use of stevia this month include beverages, dairy, confectionery, and sauces.

      The new "green" stevia table top category continues to grow share behind more than $70 million in media spending to date. Stevia has now surpassed both saccharin and aspartame in terms of dollar sales share and has partially contributed to the 2% decline in sucralose dollar sales compared to the same period in the prior year.

      This continued momentum in the marketplace is underscored by the unparalleled successes achieved by initial products to hit the market.

      Tropicana's Trop50 juice has "the highest repeat purchase after trial than we (PepsiCo) have ever experienced. Not just in juice but across all of our beverage (portfolio)," said Massimo d'Amore, CEO of PepsiCo Beverages America at its investor meeting held on March 23, 2010. To continue the momentum with Trop50, new flavors were launched to extend consumption occasions beyond breakfast, tapping into the afternoon and snack occasions, which have also proven to be successful.

      SoBe Lifewater's launch of zero-calorie, naturally sweetened beverages is evidence of how line extensions can reinvent a leading brand. Recent Nielsen data indicates that its zero-calorie skus represent four out of the top five skus for the brand. As a result, this month, the brand introduced two new zero-calorie items to the portfolio - SoBe Lifewater B-Energy in Black Cherry Dragonfruit and Strawberry Apricot varieties.

      With proven success in the juice and hydration category, PepsiCo has now announced the planned introduction of stevia into the market-leading Gatorade brand, with the formulation of Natural G2 for the U.S. market. Stevia-sweetened G2 is already enjoying initial success in Mexico.

      Additionally in March, Kraft introduced a new line extension of its Crystal Light drink mix called Crystal Light Pure Fitness. The Pure Fitness line contains no artificial sweeteners. It consists of Strawberry Kiwi, Grape, and Lemon Lime varieties, each with just 15 calories per serving.

      To add to the tea category, Starbucks has announced plans to launch a line of naturally sweetened, zero-calorie Tazo iced teas using stevia. The first three all-natural varieties will be available in April 2010. Already available in the iced tea category is Lipton 100% natural iced tea and green tea sweetened with stevia, which was launched in February by the Pepsi Lipton Tea partnership.

      The momentum for stevia continues in the confectionery category as well. In the U.S. Ragold has re-introduced Velamints, which is now naturally sweetened with stevia. The company also plans to launch stevia-sweetened Velamints in other markets later this year.

      In Switzerland, Villars Maiitre Chocolatier, a Swiss chocolate manufacturer with a philosophy of not using any artificial colors or flavors, launched a low-in-sugar, 70% cacao chocolate bar that is the first chocolate bar sweetened with stevia. And in France, Abbaye de Sept-fons, launched NutriChoco a chocolate grain-based product made for making hot chocolate or desserts that are naturally low in calories.

      "We are very encouraged to see the expansion of stevia-sweetened products in 2010. The continued movement into more countries, broader categories, and bigger brands, with excellent business results, is a great sign that the mainstreaming of stevia is accelerating," said Jason Hecker, Group Marketing Director of PureCircle Limited.

      Stevia herb shakes up global sweetener market
      5 April 2010

      Monday, 5 April 2010

      http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/stevia-herb-shakes-up-global-sweetener-market-1936518.html

      A sweetener derived from the South American herb stevia is taking the global marketplace by storm, promising a zero-calorie product that also has the appeal of being natural.


      The global market for stevia sweeteners has already hit 500 million dollars following US regulatory approval and could reach 10 billion dollars in a few years, according to market research firm Mintel.

      Stevia, which originated in Paraguay but has been used for decades in Japan and other Asian nations, got a major boost when the US Food and Drug Administration cleared the use of a stevia extract called rebaudioside A (Reb-A) in December 2008.

      Since then, stevia-based sweeteners have been adopted by big food and beverage giants such as PepsiCo, Coca-Cola, Nestle, Danone, Unilever and others, and are on its way to becoming a household name.

      "Reb-A suppliers report huge growth in a market that is set to explode," Mintel said in a recent report.

      "Reb-A and stevia is projected to penetrate 20 to 25 percent of the global sugar and sweetener market, which is currently still growing."

      Others say the product comes at the right time with concerns growing in the United States and elsewhere about obesity linked to sugary soft drinks and other products.

      "In an era with serious political and social and health ramifications of sugar and high-fructose corn syrup, stevia's new 'natural' label will give it a prime spot as the holy grail of sweeteners," says food policy consultant and blogger Naomi Starkman.

      The Reb-A extract from stevia is an estimated 300 times sweeter than sugar, which means it is generally mixed with other ingredients for bulk and to ensure proper sweetening dosing.

      It is being used in zero-calorie drinks or foods or reduced calorie items such as Coca-Cola's Tropicana unit's Trop50, which replaces sugar with a stevia extract called PureVia, produced by Malaysian-based PureCircle Limited.

      "There is no other solution in the marketplace that can do what stevia can do," said Jason Hecker, group marketing director for PureCircle.

      "It has a low glycemic index, so it can be used by diabetics and in diet products... and the product is natural."

      The largest producer of stevia leaf is China, which has long supplied extracts widely used for sweeteners in Japan, where stevia has been used since the 1970s.

      PureCircle buys the leaf from small farmers in various locations around the world, and operates its own farms in Paraguay and Kenya.

      "Stevia is a wonderful sustainability story, it does help small independent farmers," Hecker said.

      Another major stevia producer is US-based Cargill, which gets supplies through Canada's GLG Life Tech and markets the Truvia brand of Reb-A called rebiana used in Coca-Cola's Sprite Green, Odwalla drinks and other products including most recently, a yogurt mix from Breyer's.

      "Consumers are more interested than ever in knowing where their food comes from and how it is made, continuing to ask for better-tasting, low-calorie, natural products. Truvia brand is answering that demand," said Zanna McFerson, a Cargill assistant vice president.

      Most European Union countries still prohibit stevia, with the exception of France, which last year authorized a two-year trial period for certain stevia extracts.

      Stevia producers hope for a favorable ruling this year from EU safety officials, and note that it is approved in many countries including Australia, New Zealand and Switzerland.

      Yet stevia still has skeptics as well. Some claim it was hastily approved in the waning days of the administration of president George W. Bush as a favor to soft drink companies, after being banned for many years.

      "It's hard to know whether stevia is safe or not, as research is minimal," says Marion Nestle, a professor of nutrition at New York University, who argues that it may be a stretch to call stevia products "natural".

      "We can debate whether a chemical sweetener isolated from stevia leaves is really 'natural' but here's another problem: stevia doesn't taste like sugar," she said.

      "Companies have to fuss with it to cover up its 'off' taste. And they must do so without detracting from the perceived benefits of its natural status."

      Sunwin macht gerade eine kleine Erholungspause vor dem nächsten Schub nach Norden.

      In der Zwischenzeit tröste ich mich mit dem tollen Ausbruch hier bei Purecircle:

      diesen Ausbruch hatte ich vor einigen tagen angekündigt

      http://aktien.onvista.de/snapshot.html?ID_OSI=19023951&SEARC…

      Wie aus einem "Chartlehrbuch", über 15 % in einer Woche von 245 auf aktuell 285 GBp - und ich glaube es geht direkt weiter zum Test des ATH (bei 297) und der eher psychologischen Marke von 300 GBp.

      Mit einem positiven EFSA Urteil sollte hier dann zumindest einen Test der oberen Aufwärtstrendgeraden bei 320/330 geben.

      Das ist auch zugleich mein realistisches KZ für Ende April bei Purecircle. Das wären dann nochmal etwa 15 %, die ich für wahrscheinlich halte. Möglicherweise gibt es im Falle eines EFSA "OK" sogar einen Hype via Medien, dann ist auch mehr möglich.

      Aber die obere Aufwärtstrendgerade halte ich für sehr wahrscheinlich.

      hatte ich vorher im Sunwin Thread gepostet, passt aber hier noch besser:


      --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      http://aktien.onvista.de/kennzahlen/fundamental.html?ID_OSI=…

      Das KGV wird für 2010 liegt bei 27,7. Wer aber den Mintel Report von letzter Woche gelesen hatte (hatte 2 links dazu gepostet), der kann annehmen, dass das KGV wohl spürbar darunter liegen wird.

      So gesehen aber immer noch recht "teuer". Aber wie das nun mal ist bei einem Wachstumwert, darf man nicht Fehler machen, und ein Umsatzzahl des aktuellen jahres als alleinigen Indikator für eine Beurteilung ob "billig" oder "teuer" heranziehen.

      Ausserdem sind die 60 Mio für 2009 !!! Wir haben bereits 2010 !
      Anfang des jahres ist Purecircle mit dem US-Zuckerriesen Imperial Sugar ein JV eingegangen. Die 60 Mio Umsatz sind Geschichte (!)aus 2009 Der Umsatz in 2010 wird wohl deutich höher liegen. Einserits wegen des Wachstums, andererseits, weil 2009 doch das schärfste Krisenjahr war, in dem die allgemeinen Investistionen den Tiefpunkt hatten.

      Das KGV für Purecircle für 2011 wird mit 8,5 geschätzt. Wenn das geschäft aber so weiterbrummt, dann wird auch das darunter liegen.

      Wenn dann aber noch eine EU-Zulassung bereits in 2010 kommt, wovon ich nach meinen Recherchen ausgehe, dann wird das KGV von Purecicle für 2011 wohl eher Richtung 5 oder gar darunter gehen.

      Und das kann man dann wirklich nicht mehr "teuer" bezeichnen.

      Meine Antwort daher: nein, ich finde Purecirlce nicht zu teuer (sonst wäre ich auch nicht investiert). Und sollte einne EU Zulassung kommen in 2010, werden die grösseren Investoren den Marktführer bevorzugen, nicht den OTC Wert Sunwin. Sunwin muss erst beweisen, dass es nun mit der FDA Zulassung ähnliche verträge abschließen kann wie Purecircle. Ich glaube, dass wird kommen und daher bin ich auch in Sunwin dick drinnen. Aber die grösseren Investoren werden zumindest vorerst weiterhin den Marktführer bevorzugen als einen kleinen OTC Wert (Sundwin).

      Die Tatsache , dass Sunwin noch "klein" ist, eröffnet wiederum höheres Wachstumspotential. Beiden haben unterschiedliche PROs, die voll durchschlagen werden, wenn nun hoffentlich bald die EFSA Entscheidung kommt.

      PureCircle names Euro RSCG Chicago its integrated AOR
      Mary Elizabeth Hurn
      March 31, 2010

      http://www.dmnews.com/purecircle-names-euro-rscg-chicago-its-integrated-aor/article/167063/

      PureCircle, a producer of natural sweeteners, has named Euro RSCG Chicago its integrated agency of record.

      The agency will work to raise awareness of the benefits of PureCircle's products, said Jamie King, co-president of the agency.

      “At the crux is really creating and building a broader consumer awareness and appreciation for stevia and the multiple benefits it provides,” King explained. Stevia plants, used to make sugar substitutes, are better known as sweetleaf.

      Euro's work will include consumer-facing and business-to-business initiatives. A goal is to raise food manufacturers' interest in using stevia in their food and beverages.

      King added that the companies are finalizing their plans, but they will use traditional, digital and direct channels.

      PureCircle distributed an RFP in the fourth quarter of last year. The deal was signed at the beginning of this month, King said. He declined to specify the budget.

      There was no previous AOR. Previously, PureCircle worked with London agency Still Waters Run Deep on a campaign basis.

      PureCircle also announced March 31 that it named Ketchum its PR AOR.

      “The teams have demonstrated a clear understanding of our target audiences and have already generated strategic ideas and marketing plans that will help us further partner with our customers, to accelerate the mainstreaming of [our] products,” Jason Hecker, group marketing director of PureCircle, said in a statement

      Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 39.363.303 von Popeye82 am 19.04.10 19:57:48Bin zwar auch noch nicht dabei, aber habe einen interessanten Link aufgemacht:



      Stevia rebaudiana ist auch unter den Namen Süßkraut, Süßblatt oder Honigkraut bekannt. Es ist eine ursprünglich aus Südamerika stammende Pflanze. Sie wird bereits seit Jahrhunderten von den Indianern zur Zubereitung von Speisen und Getränken sowie als Heilpflanze verwendet. Insbesondere süßen die südamerikanischen Ureinwohner ihren Mate-Tee mit den grünen Blättern der Stevia-Pflanze. Auch in Asien ist der natürliche Süßstoff als Zuckerersatz verbreitet. In der Europäischen Union ist Stevia oder Steviosid zurzeit nicht als Lebensmittel oder Lebensmittelzusatzstoff zugelassen. Der Grund hierfür liegt wohl in den Interessen der Zuckerindustrie. Es gibt Studien zur gesundheitlichen Verträglichkeit mit gegenteiligen Aussagen.

      Die Kontroverse um Stevia beginnt 1995 mit der Veröffentlichung der Forschungsergebnisse von John Pezzuto und Mitarbeitern vom Pharmazie College der Universität Chicago, Illinois, USA. Ihre Untersuchungen ergaben, dass ein Steviosid-Stoffwechselprodukt, das Steviol, in Gegenwart zweier stoffwechselanregender Substanzen mutagen, das heißt potentiell Krebs erregend, wirkt. Finanziert wurde diese Studie vom Chemie-Riesen Monsanto.

      Monsanto ist mit dem hochgiftigen Aspartam in den Lebensmittelmarkt
      eingestiegen.
      Aspartam wird für 90 verschiedene Erkrankungen verantwortlich gemacht, vor allem in Gehirn bzw. Zentralem Nervensystem.

      Aber Monsanto gehört zu Rumsfeld und Rockefeller,
      dagegen kann so schnell keiner an.

      Google mal Aspartam, tückischerweise wird Aspartam unter einigen
      anderen Namen vertrieben.

      Kaugummis, Colas, Essensergänzungsmittel, (Foodsupplements)
      Süßigkeiten für Kinder, sogar Nestle mischt das Zeug in einigen Produkten bei.verrückt

      Pure Circle (WKN A0M887) gibt die US Zulassung für den Steviasüßstoff SG95 bekannt. Der neuartige Süßstoff besteht aus den Rebaudiosiden F und D, die beide eine Novität am Süßstoffmarkt darstellen. Neben Reb A 95, stellt SG95 eine weitere, hochkonzentrierte Süßstoffalternative dar.

      Q: www.biotech-invest.com

      also die innovationskraft von pure circle schlägt auf jeden fall positiv zu buche, nicht zuletzt haben die eine forschungskooperation mit einer calif. uni.
      das hohe kgv ist halt zu bemängeln, aber wo kriegt man qualität scohn zu schnäppchenpreisen.

      interessanterweise wurden am heuten tage gleich 2 corporate news veröffentlicht:
      teil 1 war die aussicht auf die zahlen von 2010, die, wie bereits bekannt, nicht gut ausgefallen sind. umsatz stagniert, gewinn sinkt. allerdings wurde soetwas bereits in einem unternehmensbericht von ende 2009 erwartet. in diesem thread gibts irgendwo nen link dazu. etwa seite 4 oder 5
      teil 2 war die ankündigung eines joint venture mit einer britischen zucker firma für den europäischen und den afrikanischen markt. soetwas hat pure circle bereits mit imperial sugar für den us markt.

      Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 39.880.805 von LongIsland am 27.07.10 09:46:02FTSE In-depth: Sour profits at PureCircle
      By Geoff Foster
      27 July 2010, 9:32pm


      Jam tomorrow company PureCircle crashed 64.5p or 23.5% to 209.5p on a profits warning.

      The Malaysia-based natural sweetener maker warned that full-year profitability will be below last year as it has been running under capacity and investing heavily. In other words, an investment splurge aimed at turning it into a global company had severely damaged its hopes of raising profits.

      PureCircle warned that revenues, which investors had expected to grow by about 50% this year to £65m, would be flat thanks to the failure of a 'trading partner' to make any sales. Profits, meanwhile, would fall below 2009 lev¬els following 'significantly increased investment' on production, sales and marketing.

      It appears the board's strategy to build a large global business on the back of its natu¬ral sweeteners, derived from the stevia plant, has failed miserably.

Auch wenn Purecircle momentan Probleme beim Gewinnwachstum hat haben sie gezeigt, dass sie in der Lage sind internationale F&B-Konzerne wie Danone und Unilever als Kunden zu gewinnen. Genau das, wovon Sunwin träumt aber bislang nicht erreicht hat.

Die GRAS-Zertifizierungen vom März brachten sunwin auf Augenhöhe mit den Marktführern GLG life tech und purecircle. Die bevorstehende EU-Zulassung für Stevia wird für sunwin sehr vorteilhaft werden, da Wild hier schon stark verteten ist. Die Abstossung der Tiermedizinsparte war auch ein Schritt in die richtige Richtung. Die finanzielle Situation ist ein weiterer Pluspunkt von sunwin und wird sich positiv auswirken.

Der Zusammenarbeit mit dem "ausgewiesen guten Vermarktungspartner" hat seit der Vereinbarung im Februar 2009 bisher für Sunwin keinen messbaren Erfolg gebracht. Vielleicht sollten sie sich lieber auf die Tiermedizinsparte konzentrieren statt diese abzustossen.

      Meine Meinung zu dem hohen Risiko von Sunwin habe ich ausführlich im "Faktenthread" begründet (Seite 18). Seitdem hat sich nichts signifikant geändert.

      Erst durch die FDA-Zertifizierungen im März kam sunwin auf Augenhöhe mit den Marktführern in Sachen Stevia. Die Zulassung von Stevia für die EU, die spätestens bis Mitte 2011 kommen sollte, wird sunwin einen großen Schub nach vorne bringen.
      Die Abstossung der Tiermedizinsparte war richtig!

      Purecircle investing in USA - Purecircle is member of HWCF

      Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation Announces PGA as 100th Member: PGA of America Extends Impact of
      Posted by mincho2008
      Friday, 13 August 2010
      The "Michelle Obama effect" continued to grow interest and support for efforts to curb obesity as the Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation (HWCF ) announced today that The PGA of America has become the Foundation's 100th member.


      The HWCF reported that due to the First Lady's personal leadership and her "Let's Move!" campaign, public awareness concerning the problem of childhood obesity is at an all-time high. "Let's Move!" has created a first-of-its-kind focus and synergy throughout the country as companies, non-profits and sports organizations join together to collaborate and expand the reach of the energy balance message.


      "We are extraordinarily pleased to announce The PGA of America as the 100th partner of the Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation," said David Mackay, chair of the Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation and CEO of Kellogg Company. "Our commitment and dedication to reduce childhood obesity aligns well with The PGA's many programs, such as the recently announced 'Let's Move On Course.' We are delighted to team with them as we work collaboratively in the fight against obesity."


      The PGA's "ad hoc" league of junior programs, conducted by the 41 nationwide Sections and grass roots PGA Professionals throughout the country, is the sport's largest outreach to juniors. In 2009, PGA Professionals hosted more than 38,000 junior camps nationwide with more than 550,000 kids participating. The PGA announced earlier this year it would use this network to help support the "Let's Move!" initiative.


      "Golf is a great way for families to get outside, walk a beautiful golf course and make fitness fun," said PGA of America President Jim Remy. "The PGA of America wants juniors and their families to recognize the health benefits associated with walking the course when they play. We're delighted to be joining the Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation as another way to support the First Lady's mission to reduce childhood obesity."


      The PGA has demonstrated its commitment to promote physical fitness nationwide through its "Play Golf America" campaign, aimed at increasing participation among new and existing golfers and growing the number of people who play the game. The PGA's Family Golf Month, conducted in July, features golf courses which offer a series of programs to learn and play golf as a family. These programs, such as Family Golf Clinics, Family Golf Days and Kids Play Free aim to make golf accessible and affordable for everyone.


      The PGA of America's decision to join the HWCF is a natural extension of its commitment to health and fitness. Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh determined the total caloric expenditure for a round of golf (18-holes) is approximately 2,000 calories for walking and carrying clubs. Walking 18 holes can also meet the daily recommendation of 10,000 steps (five miles). Health and fitness experts advocate that taking 10,000 steps per day will improve overall fitness and help control weight gain.


      About The PGA of America


      Since 1916, The PGA of America's mission has been twofold; to establish and elevate the standards of the profession and to grow interest and participation in the game of golf. By establishing and elevating the standards of the golf profession through world-class education, career services, marketing and research programs, the Association enables PGA Professionals to maximize their performance in their respective career paths and showcases them as experts in the game and in the multi-billion dollar golf industry.


      By creating and delivering dramatic world-class championships and exciting and enjoyable golf promotions that are viewed as the best of their class in the golf industry, The PGA of America elevates the public's interest in the game, the desire to play more golf, and ensures accessibility to the game for everyone, everywhere. The PGA of America brand represents the very best in golf.


      The Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation is a first-of-its kind coalition that brings together 100 retailers, food and beverage manufacturers, sporting goods and insurance companies, restaurants, trade associations and NGOs, and now its first professional sports association. The Foundation focuses on activities in the schools, the workplace and the marketplace to promote healthy weight among Americans by balancing the energy they consume with the energy they expend through physical activity.

      Tereos and PureCircle to Market High Purity Stevia Extracts in New JV
      Source: PureCircle
      22/09/2010

      Sept 22 - PureCircle, the world's leading producer of high purity stevia products, is pleased to announce that Tereos and PureCircle Limited have announced the launch of Tereos PureCircle Solutions and the signing of a wider binding Co-operation Agreement between Tereos and PureCircle.

      Daily News Alerts
      - We respect your privacy -
      Tereos, global player in sugar, starch based products and alcohol, is the second largest producer of sugar in Europe and through Guarani, a Tereos Internacional subsidiary, is the largest exporter of high grade refined sugar from Brazil.

      PureCircle is the global leader in the production and marketing of high purity stevia extracts.

      Tereos PureCircle Solutions

      Tereos PureCircle Solutions will develop and market a portfolio of high purity stevia extracts and innovative sweetening solutions combining sugar and stevia extracts. This will enable to address major food and beverage companies' needs in terms of launching reduced calorie products.

      Tereos PureCircle Solutions in Europe is a 50:50 joint venture between Tereos and PureCircle. The Board of Directors and management team will be drawn from the two companies. The joint venture Tereos PureCircle Solutions will market the products across its core markets of France, Belgium, Czech Republic and Italy, as well as non-exclusively in a number of other European markets, including Switzerland.

      Operating from Tereos offices in France, Tereos PureCircle Solutions will access Tereos' facilities, application centre and distribution infrastructure. This will be supported by PureCircle's global stevia supply chain, R&D and innovation leadership.

      The Co-operation Agreement

      The binding Co-operation Agreement confirms Tereos and PureCircle's commitment to develop a wider international strategic partnership, also aiming at selling high purity stevia extracts and innovative sweetening solutions to the fast growing Brazilian market. Because of Guarani's position as Brazil's premier exporter of high quality refined sugars, this partnership would access strong international markets.

      The Co-operation Agreement will also enable the main Boards of Tereos and PureCircle to access wider strategic opportunities as they arise. This is likely to include development of high purity stevia extracts and glucose based sweetener combinations.

      With this partnership, Tereos will be able to answer to market trends for calorie reduction with natural origin products providing its customers with both sugar and stevia extracts to elaborate sweet and tasty goods.

      Moin.
      Ich bin Gestern durch einen Bericht im Fernsehen erstmalig auf STEVIA aumerksam geworden.
      Bräuchte jetzt ein wenig Hilfe bei der Suche nach Informationen. Nicht über STEVIA selbst.
      Nur zu Unternehmen die damit ihr Geld verdienen.
      Wer hat die beste Ausgangsposition?
      Wo finde ich verbindliche Zahlen ?
      Einige Links würden mir helfen.
      Vieleicht steige ich dann auch ein.
      Danke im voraus.

      Bei purecircle kommt eine Nachricht nach der anderen und Kurs sackt ab
      :confused:

      Braunschweig 23.09.10
      Nordzucker vor Gründung eines Joint Ventures mit Stevia-Produzent PureCircle
      Die Nordzucker AG, Braunschweig, beabsichtigt, mit dem weltweit größten Stevia-Produzenten PureCircle, Kuala Lumpur/Malaysia, ein Joint Venture zu gründen. Ziel der Zusammenarbeit ist es, natürliche, innovative und zugleich kalorienreduzierte Süßungsprodukte zu entwickeln und zu vermarkten.

      „Wir freuen uns auf die Zusammenarbeit mit PureCircle und sehen ein attraktives Marktpotenzial für neue, komplett natürliche Süßungsmittel aus Zucker in Kombination mit Stevia. Dies ist eine sehr sinnvolle Erweiterung unserer Kernkompetenz in Zucker“, erläutert Vorstandsvorsitzender Hartwig Fuchs die Gründe für das Engagement. Das künftige Portfolio aus Zucker-Stevia-Mischungen zielt vor allem auf Anwendungen in der Lebensmittel- und Getränkeindustrie ab.

      Der CEO von PureCircle, Magomet Malsagov, ergänzt: „Es ist klar, dass sich unsere weltweiten Kunden natürliche, kalorienreduzierte Süßungsmittel überall auf der Welt wünschen, um ihre vorhandenen Zuckeroptionen zu ergänzen. Als wir uns in Europa nach Partnern umgeschaut haben, lag die Wahl von Nordzucker auf der Hand.“

      Das neue 50:50-Joint Venture wird sich auf die Märkte in Zentral-, Ost- und Nordeuropa konzentrieren.

      Eine Zulassung für Stevia für den europäischen Markt steht noch aus und wird voraussichtlich für die erste Jahreshälfte 2011 erwartet.



      Hintergrund:

      Der Nordzucker Konzern mit Hauptsitz in Braunschweig ist Europas zweitgrößter Zuckerhersteller und produziert darüber hinaus Bioethanol sowie Futtermittel aus Zuckerrüben. Europaweit bilden 18 Produktions- und Raffinationsstätten technisch, logistisch und geographisch ein leistungsfähiges Fundament für den weiteren Erfolgskurs. Knapp 4.000 Mitarbeiter engagieren sich konzernweit für exzellente Produkte und Services.

      Pure Circle (www.purecircle.com) ist Weltmarktführer in der Produktion hochreiner Stevia-Produkte. Geschätzt mehr als 80 Prozent aller weltweit vertriebenen Reb A oder anderer hochreiner Stevia-Produkte werden von PureCircle produziert. Stevia wird mittlerweile in 16 Ländern in Südamerika, Afrika, Asien und den Vereinigten Staaten angebaut und bietet der Landwirtschaft in jeder Region eine nachhaltige Einnahmequelle. Die Unternehmenszentrale ist in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia). Die Aktien des Unternehmens werden im LSE AiM index gehandelt.

      Stevia ist eine Pflanze aus der Familie der Chrysanthemen und stammt aus Paraguay in Südamerika. Sie wird seit vielen Jahrhunderten als natürliches Süßungsmittel und Aromaverstärker genutzt. 2008 erhielt das hochgradig reine (mehr als 96 Prozent) Rebaudiosid A, ein einzelnes Molekül aus der Steviapflanze, von der Food and Drug Administration (FDA) den Status GRAS (generally regarded as safe, dt: allgemein als sicher geltend) für die Verwendung als Süßungsmittel in Nahrungsmitteln und Getränken. Im Hinblick auf das Gewicht ist Rebaudiosid A 300 Mal süßer als Zucker, kalorienfrei, besitzt einen niedrigen glykämischen Index und ist hitze- sowie pH-beständig.

      Eine weitere Frage.
      Wenn mittlerweile große Konzerne wie Coca Cola Stevia auch syntetisch herstellen können und diverse Patente darauf besitzen, wozu benötigt man dann noch die Pflanze???
      Mal abgesehen von den Leuten die nur Öko zu sich nehmen.
      Beschränkt doch das Potential ungemein..

      DöhlerGruppe: strategische Partnerschaft mit PureCircle – innovative Ingredients auf Basis von Stevia

      PureCircle, mit Sitz in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, und die DöhlerGruppe, Darmstadt, kündigen eine neue globale strategische Partnerschaft an. Kernpunkt der Zusammenarbeit ist die Entwicklung von innovativen Ingredients bzw. Süßungslösungen auf Basis der Stevia-Pflanze.

      Stevia (Süßkraut, Süßblatt, Honigkraut) wird wegen seiner starken Süßkraft traditionell in vielen Kulturen als Süßstoff verwendet. Die in den Blättern enthaltenen Stoffe Steviosid und Rebaudiosid sind als intensive natürliche Süßungsmittel zwischen 40- und 300-mal süßer als Saccharose. Stevia-Blätter enthalten so gut wie keine Kalorien und bieten sich als pflanzliche Alternative zu herkömmlichen Süßstoffen an. Bisher ist Stevia in der EU nicht als Lebensmittelzusatz zugelassen, es wird erwartet, dass sich dies demnächst ändert.

      PureCircle und DöhlerGruppe gehören in ihrem jeweiligen Geschäftsbereich zu den Marktführern. PureCircle ist der weltweit führende Hersteller und Vermarkter von natürlichen Stevia-Süßungen. Döhler ist ein weltweit führender Hersteller, Vermarkter und Anbieter von Ingredients und Ingredient Systems für die Lebensmittel- und Getränkeindustrie – von Aromen und Emulsionen, natürlichen Farben und Health Ingredients bis zu Fruchtzubereitungen, alkoholhaltigen und alkoholfreien Getränkebasen oder Süßungssystemen.

      Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 40.243.194 von mojo60 am 30.09.10 19:26:42"Aber wie soll man als Lebensmittelgigant von Stevia profitieren? Auf eine seit Jahrhunderten bekannte Pflanze kann man schließlich kein Patent anmelden: Jeder darf sie anbauen und vermarkten.

      Also kam man auf eine geniale Idee: Man gewinnt einen der Stevia-Süßstoffe, Rebaudiosid A, auf chemischem Weg und meldet auf diese Methode sowie auf die chemisch behandelten Substanzen eine Reihe von Patenten an. Die reine Pflanze bleibt als Lebensmittel verboten, der chemisch gewonnene Bestandteil hingegen wird zugelassen - und man kann Millionen mit den neuen patentierten Süßstoffen verdienen.

      es geht bei diesem artikel um die tatsache, dass sich auf die pflanze kein patent anmelden lässt, allerdings auf die (chemische) methode aus der pflanze das glykosid (reb a, rebaudiosod, etc) zu gewinnen.

      vereinfacht: es geht darum die chemischen prozesse zu patentieren die für die süßstoffgewinnung nötig sind.

      reb a kannst du nur gewinnen, wenn du steviablätter hast

Jede Verkaufsorder wird dort zu Kursen weit unterhalb der Gürtellinie an den Mann gebracht. Nie wieder ! comdirect ist da viel, viel transparenter !

      Review: Sprite Green
      Mar 16th, 2010 by Steve
      http://www.bevreview.com/2010/03/16/sprite-green/


      In late 2008, Coke announced a reduced calorie version of Sprite called Sprite Green, first introduced in New York and Chicago.


      Per Coke's press release about the new drink, Sprite Green "has 50 calories per 8.5-ounce serving and 5% lemon juice. Sprite Green was created to appeal to active young adults and will be launched in two U.S. cities this month in distinctive 8.5-ounce aluminum bottles. Initial availability will be limited to teen and young adult-oriented locations and events with a broader rollout planned for early 2009. Sprite Green complements the Sprite brand's leading lemon-lime and zero-calorie lemon-lime sparkling beverages."

      The big hype about Sprite Green is the use of Truvia, which is the trade name for a version of a stevia-based sweetener created by The Coca-Cola Company and Cargill. Using what they consider a "natural sweetener" (there's some debate on that), you can lower the calorie count on a typical bottle of Sprite.


      Sprite Green aluminum bottle
      We were able to find a bottle of Sprite Green here in Chicago, though it did not look anything like the aluminum bottle illustration that Coke provided when they announced the drink. Our version was packaged in a 12 oz. green glass bottle with a narrow neck. A pretty sharp look… if you ignore the ugly plastic twist cap on top.

      Upon opening the bottle, well, it smells like Sprite. It even looks like Sprite, with that clear, bubbly appearance. But what about that all-important taste experience?

      Upon first sip, it's actually pretty good. Tastes pretty much like the Sprite you know and love. But then the floor drops out and you realize that your are on some gruesome amusement park ride of flavor doom! Now, granted, this is a diet beverage, so a non-attractive taste is to be expected. But given that this drink has a stevia-powered aftertaste, maybe I wasn't expecting exactly what my mouth was saying… which was pretty much, "what did you just do to me?"

      The aftertaste ruins Sprite Green. At first, it's not really there like most diet beverages. It sort of sneaks up on you. But this delayed rancidness makes up for it in the end. The taste is actually quite dry and cleanish as far as texture, however the flavor is very bitter and non-food-like. Almost like you accidentally swallowed some hair spray. It's an odd collection of substances that sort of sit on your tongue, waiting to be scrubbed off. I can now understand why Sprite Green has been launched in "limited markets" and isn't really taking the country by storm. Yuck!

      However, if you are still interested in this drink, you'll find that a 12 oz. bottle contains 70 calories, 160 mg of sodium (Wow… that's quite a bit!), and 18 g of carbs (17 g of which are sugars). The drink is caffeine-free.


      Sprite Green
      Carbonated water, lemon juice from concentrate, sugar, natural flavors, sodium polyphosphates, sodium citrate, potassium sorbate (to protect taste), rebiana (stevia extract), salt, malic acid, ascorbic acid (to protect color)

      The combination of stevia and sugar makes Sprite Green sort of a hybrid drink when it comes to sweeteners. Hmm, where have we seen this before? Oh, that's right… Coca-Cola C2 and Pepsi Edge. Anyone remember those drinks from 2004? They crashed and burned, not only based on taste, but also on need. In the end, they weren't. The same seems to be true regarding Sprite Green. It's a beverage without a real purpose.

      That said, I really wish Sprite Green was better than it tasted. Those used to the aftertaste experiences of diet sodas may welcome it more than we did, however if we were looking for a lemon lime-flavored drink with the benefits of stevia, we'd probably choose Zevia over Coke's entry.

      Hallo Zusammen,
      sehr interessante Kurssituation von Purecircle und Sunwin derzeit. Wenn ich alles zusammenfasse was ich bisher gefunden habe, hat Sunwin den Nachteil, daß sie sich zu wenig verbünden während Purecircle mittlerweile mit klassischen Zuckerherstellern so verbandelt ist daß man in Frage stellt ob das Unternehmen nicht hierdurch gelähmt wird. Und zuletzt, GLG Life Tech, nach wie vor eine Zitterpartie die zumindest langfristig stabil ist.
      Habe nach wie vor keine Erklärung gefunden warum Purecircle und Sunwin derzeit so nach unten rutschen. Woran liegts?

      Coca-Cola applies to food safety body on new sweetener
      Viveat Susan Pinto / Mumbai November 10, 2010, 0:29 IST

      http://www.business-standard.com/india/news/coca-cola-applie…


      In what will be a first for an Indian company, the local unit of beverage giant Coca-Cola has applied to the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) for permission to use stevia, a natural sweetner, in its products.

      Coca-Cola, in a joint application with Malaysian company, Pure Circle, which specialises in extraction of natural goodness from plants, has requested for use of stevial glycosides (commonly called stevia) singly or in combination with allied nutritive sweeteners sucrose, glucose and fructose. The application was made a month before.


      A total of 15 product categories have been included in Coca-Cola's application to the regulatory body, say sources. A mail to FSSAI on the beverage major's application remained unanswered till the time of going to press.

      Stevia is also awaiting approval from CODEX Alimentarius, an international body created by the Food and Agriculture Organisation and the World Health Organisation, for its usage across product forms.

      Coca-Cola's move is likely to set off a wave of applications from allied companies, say beverage industry sources.

      In recent months, FSSAI has notified the use of additives Acesulfame potassium (also called Acesulfame K) and sucralose or Splenda as a di-blend in carbonated water. This paves the way for their use as substitutes to sugar in carbonated drinks such as Pepsi, Thums Up and Coca-Cola.

      A di-blend means the two additives will be used in combination with each other, helping manufacturers achieve a sweetness level closer to sugar. Individually, say food science experts, additives are considered sweeter than sugar. In combination, manufacturers can achieve the "profile of sugar" far more than when additives are used standalone.

      But critics argue that stevia is a better alternative to the above. "It is herbal in nature, extracted from a plant called stevia rebaudiana," says Vibha Varshney, health researcher at New Delhi-based Centre for Science and Environment. "While Acesulfame K, Splenda, Aspartame, etc are synthesied chemicals that are carcinogenic or cancer-causing. There are few studies to establish the safety of Acesulfame K and Splenda, though Aspartame has been extensively studied.”

      ISC Partners with H-E-B to Debut New Sweeteneriscnewsroom | Nov 10, 2010

      http://www.iscnewsroom.com/2010/11/10/isc-partners-with-h-e-…

      With a long history of collaboration, Imperial Sugar Company (ISC) and H-E-B are once again coming together, this time to launch a new and unique all-natural sweetener.

      Steviacane™ by Natural Sweet Ventures LLC, is a collaboration between ISC and PureCircle, a global leader in the production of high purity stevia products. San Antonio, Texas-based H-E-B, one of the largest independent food retailers in the nation, has agreed to be the first to introduce steviacane™ to consumers at select stores in Austin, Houston and San Antonio.


      Source: Google Images
      “We appreciate the necessity of working closing with trusted retail partners like H-E-B because they are a pipeline to our customers,” said Jeana Hines, Director over Consumer and Food Service Sales and Marketing. “By joining forces, we can build brand loyalty for Imperial Sugar products while providing our retail partners with innovative sweetener solutions that will appeal to their customers.”

      The dynamics and complexity of today’s marketplace are forcing retailers and manufacturers to pursue innovative strategies to leverage growth by creating a better shopping experience for shoppers. Working together also makes it possible to develop better promotional vehicles, enhance in-store support, and develop innovative, value-added offerings for both parties.

      Last year, ISC and H-E-B joined together to debut Imperial Sugar’s all-natural line of Baker’s Supreme Frosting mixes, which were enthusiastically received by customers who loved the rich and home-made taste of the frostings plus the total convenience of the product.

      To support the launch of the all-natural sweetener and encourage trial by consumers, Imperial Sugar is working with H-E-B to coordinate in-store samplings as well as placement of a feature piece on the benefits of steviacane™ in My H-E-B Texas Life magazine, which is published monthly by the grocer.

      H-E-B has placed its first order for steviacane™ and it will be available at select H-E-B stores beginning the week of November 8.

      Stevia - a great hype or a great hope?By: Dean Best - 18 November 2010 18:20


      Stevia was a topic on many an exhibitor's lips at the Health Ingredients expo in Madrid this week.

      The natural, low-calorie sweetener has been around for decades in parts of Asia and Latin America but, since US regulators cleared its use in food and drinks in 2008 and with a decision from the EU around the corner, more and more manufacturers are studying its application in a range of products.

      We've detailed the growing noise around stevia at length over the last few months, from the confidence that Cargill has in the sweetener's potential to the deals signed by suppliers like PureCircle and GLG Life Tech as they prepare for what they believe will be growing demand from manufacturers and consumers.

      Cargill was at the HiE expo to showcase its Truvia brand of table-top stevia sweetener and the US food giant remained excited about the ingredient's potential.

      Not everyone at the Madrid show, however, was as bullish about the prospects for stevia.

      Food ingredients group Beneo, part of German sugar giant Suedzucker, has launched sugar replacement products containing stevia. Claudia Meissner, the company's communications manager, said the industry has started to recognise the difficulties of working with the ingredient.

      Beneo, she said, had been working with stevia since the 1980s and now uses it alongside other ingredients, like bulk sweeteners, in beverage products and confectionery.

      "People have discovered that it's not so easy to apply," she said, noting concerns over the ingredient's impact on taste. "It's not so easy to work with."

      Meissner acknowledged the industry interest in stevia but said there was "hype" around the ingredient. "Maybe you will prove me wrong and stevia will be the business in 15 years but I don't think so," she insisted. "It will find its place and may be the sweetener of choice in certain applications."

      Over at the PureCircle stand, there was a recognition of the noise around stevia and the challenges in using the ingredient. "Stevia is much more complex than people think," PureCircle technical director Sidd Purkayastha told just-food.

      However, Purkayastha said PureCircle was keen to assert its determination to drive the sector forward.

      "We are very much committed to it but we don't see it as a product-of-the-month kind of deal," he said, insisting stevia had a bright future.

      "We don't look at stevia as a niche product; we look at it much bigger than that," he said, arguing that the ingredient will usurp aspartame in the list of intense sweeteners. "Stevia has the potential that aspartame does not."

      ich rechne damit, dass sich in den nächsten 3-5 monaten die eu zulassung einstellen wird.
      das wird einen mehrere wochen andauernden hype auslösen, es wird sich dann zeigen wer welches stevia produkt im petto hat und damit den markt austesten wird.
      der jahresabschluss im sommer 2011 wird dann zeigen, wohin die reise mittelfristig geht.
      auf lange sicht, ein mit sicherheit interessanter titel

      Die haben einen hervorragenden Vermarkungspartner und sind praktisch schuldenfrei.
      Mehr als 10 Mio cash sollten für die "Aufbruchstimmung" nach der Zulassung reichen...
      Ich bin der Meinung, dass sunwin für die EU-Zulassung bestens aufgestellt ist!

      Stevia gains foothold in French tabletop sweeteners market
      Interview with Jordi Ferre
      Corporate VP Sales & Marketing, PureCircle USA Inc

      23-Nov-2010, duration 05:00
      The stevia industry’s best guess on approval in Europe is currently around July 2010, according to PureCircle VP sales and marketing Jordi Ferre, and in the meantime the food and beverage sector is watching closely the unfolding market in France.

      French food and beverage manufacturers have been able to use stevia sweeteners with a high purity of Reb A since September 2009, as the French government opted to take advantage of a two-year window in advance of anticipated approval for the whole EU.

      Ferre says the view of the French market is ‘so far so good’, with stevia making especially good gains in the table top sweeteners. He says it has already achieved a 20 per cent share in that market – an even higher percentage than in the US.

      Other hot spots of innovation have been in yoghurts, and in the beverage sector where giants such as Coca Cola have been trying out stevia sweeteners in drinks with lower sugar and lower calories.

      PureCircle receives new patents for stevia production methods
      09-Dec-2010

      Related topics: Natural sweeteners, Financial & Industry, Sweeteners (intense, bulk, polyols)

      PureCircle has announced that it has been granted three new patents by the US Patent and Trademark Office for the methods it uses to produce its stevia-derived sweetener ingredients.

      There are several variations on extraction and purification technologies for producing high-purity Reb A and other stevia extracts. PureCircle said these latest patents cover a range of processes and methods that pre-date other published patents for manufacturing processes and product applications related to commercial production of high purity stevia extracts, and date back to December 21, 2004.

      The new patents cover the technologies that can be used to manufacture high purity steviol glycoside extract SG95 as well as other sweet components, including stevioside and Reb A, the company said. PureCircle said that these elements could not be produced on a commercial scale with earlier technologies.


      PureCircle CEO Magomet Malsagov said in a statement: "The publication of these patents confirms clearly our prior science across the high purity stevia industry and underpins our global market leadership. The USA patent grant is a strong endorsement in PureCircle as the right partner of choice for our strategic customers and sugar partners. PureCircle continues to invest in the science of high purity stevia and we have a strong portfolio of applications in development."

      The company added that the approval of the new patents gives it “a strong position to operate freely with its market pioneering processes and defend its patents against any potential infringements across all aspects of the high purity stevia industry.”

      Imperial Sugar returns to profit in 2010

      By Caroline Scott-Thomas, 05-Jan-2011

      Related topics: Food finance and prices, Financial & Industry, Carbohydrates and fibers (sugar, starches)

      Imperial Sugar Company returned to profit during fiscal 2010 as its Port Wentworth refinery continued to boost production following a 2008 explosion, although its losses widened in Q4, the company said.

      Imperial Sugar reported net income of $136.86m for the 2010 full fiscal year ended September 30, compared to a net loss of $23.18m in 2009. The fourth quarter saw net income dip to $2.3m from $0.2m for the prior year period, as a result of higher raw sugar prices, which more than offset higher refined prices, the company said.

      President and CEO John Sheptor said: “As production rates at the Port Wentworth refinery increased during the year, we identified facility and process modifications necessary to return the refinery to historical operating levels. We completed the last major modification in October 2010, and output improved significantly. While production days and fixed costs had a negative impact on fiscal 2010 results, the improvements that we have made should lead to sustained results at higher rates in 2011."

      Imperial Sugar saw a 74 percent increase in net sales from $522.6m to $908m during the year, which it said was partly due to the increase in production at its Port

      Wentworth refinery, as well as increased refined sugar prices.

      Thirteen people were killed and nearly 50 were injured in a dust explosion at the Port Wentworth sugar refinery in Georgia in February 2008. The facility produced about nine percent of the United States’ refined sugar supply for the full fiscal year prior to the disaster.

      Stevia/sucrose joint venture

      Imperial Sugar also formed a joint venture called Natural Sweet Ventures with stevia firm PureCircle in February 2010, which it said was consistent with its strategy to expand its range of value-added natural sweetener offerings.

      Sheptor said: “Our Natural Sweet Ventures initiative provides an exciting opportunity to expand our portfolio of all natural sweeteners. Customer interest in our stevia/sucrose products under the Steviacane brand name has been encouraging.”

      OVERALL HIGH PURITY STEVIA MARKET UPDATE

      Key Market Data

      The Key Market Data table is based on Nielsen USA consumer retail sales for the Food Drug and Mass (FDM) channels for the quarter to 30 September 2010:

      Source (2): PureCircle analysis of products launched using high purity stevia, excluding table top sweetener category



      High Purity Stevia Market update

      · Annualised USA consumer sales for products using high purity stevia amount to US$1bn : just 21 months after the market opened following FDA approval

      · Growth of US$507m (104%) compared to comparable quarter to 30 September 2009

      Q3 2010


      $995

      Source: Nielsen retail sales data for stevia labeled products in the FDM channels for the quarter to 30 September 2010, adjusted by PureCircle for non FDM distribution channels, and then annualized.

      · Stevia table-top sweeteners continue to win market share in the USA and France.

      · Qualitative data from other markets, such as Mexico, France, Australia shows consumer sales increasing at similar rates

      · Analysis of the ingredient usage by non table top food and beverage companies indicates that PureCircle is direct or indirect supplier to more than 94% of the products by both volume and value: it is clear that a mass volume industry could not be developing without PureCircle's scaled production

      · The Company estimates that the $1bn USA consumer sales translates into an annual consumer usage of 150 tonnes high purity stevia in the USA

      · Qualitatively the USA usage volumes imply a global consumer usage of about 200 tonnes, compared to about 50 tonnes a year ago: a volume growth rate of 300%

      · Allowing for retailer store and distribution inventory, annual global Food and Beverage manufacturer usage is estimated at about 250 tonnes

      New Product launches

      Since 30 June 2010 new product launches across different product categories with high purity stevia have included:

      · USA: SteviaCane Table top , True Lemonade, Arizona Kidz, Wish-Bone salad dressing, Archers Farms Tea, Silk Soymilk extensions, Wonder Smartwhite Bread, Hansen's Natural Drink Mix, FRS Energy drink

      · Latin America: Lala Yomi (Mexico), Canderel Verde (Mexico), Svetia (Mexico), Ste+ (Paraguay), Agua de Bes (Paraguay) and Neotevia (Brazil)

      · France: Ligne de Beghin-Say aux Extraits de Stevia, Taillefine yogurts, Fanta Still, Joker Vital nectars, Breizh Cola, PureVia and Canderel Green table top sweeteners,

      · Australia: Schweppes Carbonated Mineral Water, Orangeade and Limeade drinks, Schweppes Cordial , Lipton Tea and Go Coco flavoured water

      · Other countries: Fanta line extensions (Turkey), PureVia (New Zealand)

      Our contracts and market analysis show that PureCircle is the supplier for the principal part of the new launches

      Market intelligence suggests that more new product launches are being planned in all regions.

      PURECIRCLE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT UPDATE

      Since 30 June 2010 the Company has continued to secure additional sales contracts and new invoicing customers.

      · We have secured a global supply contract with another of the world's largest ten Food and Beverage companies, making PureCircle direct supplier to seven of the top ten such companies.

      · We have 23 new direct invoicing customers, taking the total to more than 130.

      PureCircle sales update

      · The Group's sales for FY 2011 will be second half weighted including the call-off timing of committed volumes. The Company is expecting to report sales of $13m in the first half to 31 December 2010.

      · Analyst consensus estimates for FY 2011 sales are in the range $69m to $78m. As at 31 December 2010 the Company has invoiced, committed and FY2011 pipeline sales totaling $50m.

      · The balance is work in progress which will be updated on a quarterly basis, with the next update in March 2011.

      · As clear market leader, the Company's sales growth is expected to mirror the strong accelerating growth in consumer usage evidenced by the Nielsen data.

      · In particular, usage increases as products using stevia mature in their life cycle (eg products use more at an established launch stage than at R&D stage). The Company will benefit from having more customers further developed in their product cycles than in prior periods. This is illustrated in the table below, showing the number of direct customers at each stage of the product launch cycle at 31 December 2010 and 2009 respectively

      Cargill plans UK launch of natural sweetener


      http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/Cargill-plans-UK-launch-reu…

      LONDON (Reuters) - Agribusiness giant Cargill plans to launch Europe (news) 's first natural tabletop sweetener in Britain later this year with hopes of boosting the sweetener market by nearly 20 percent over two years.

      The world's largest private company said on Wednesday it is linking up with Associated British Foods (Dusseldorf: 719064.DU - news) to distribute its Truvia zero calorie sweetener when the European Union gives the green light for the product made from the stevia plant.

      The U.S. group plans its launch in Britain from September onwards to break into the UK's annual 50 million-pound low-calorie sweetener market led by Merisant's aspartame-based Canderel and Tate & Lyle (TATF.EX - news) 's sucralose product Splenda.

      "We hope there will be a sigh of relief from the consumer that at last there will be a natural sweetener available," said Zanna McFerson, Cargill's assistant vice president for the group's health and nutrition division, in an interview.

      The sweetener comes from the stevia plant, which is grown for Cargill in Argentina, Paraguay and China and competes with artificial sweeteners such as saccharin as well as aspartame and sucralose, and also with other stevia sweetener groups like PureCircle Ltd (PCRTF.PK - news) .

      Although the product sells for around a 30 percent premium to competing sweeteners, McFerson believes its natural tag will attract consumers and looks forward to other European launches in France, Germany, Italy and Spain in the future.

      The European Food Safety Authority said in April last year that it deemed sweeteners from stevia to be safe for use in food and beverages and full approval by the EU is expected from September, Cargill said.

      Truvia was launched in the United States two years ago and has grabbed a 9.5 percent share of a tabletop sweetener market worth $685 million (£432 million) annually, and also grew the whole sweetener market category by 18 percent over two years.

      "There is no reason we cannot grow the sweetener market here by 18 percent over two years, to add 10 million pounds to sweetener sales," said Tony Lucas, marketing director at AB Foods' Silver Spoon's sugar and sweetener business.

      After regulatory approval the product will be distributed by Silver Spoon's network to UK supermarkets and other outlets.

      Imperial Sugar Prepares to Exhibit at Key Trade Shows

      iscnewsroom | Feb 28, 2011

      Employees with Imperial Sugar Company’s sales force as well as the research and development group are preparing to exhibit at several high-profile, food-related trade shows taking place next month around the country.

      Beginning in March, the team from Imperial Sugar will be visiting major trade shows for food manufacturers and suppliers as well as chefs and confectioners. These venues provide Imperial Sugar with an opportunity to promote its portfolio of specialty sweeteners as well as introduce steviacane™, a new, innovative sweetener that combines the best properties of stevia and cane sugar to create a product that has the same great sugar taste but with only one-third the calories.


      Gail Lange
      With the growing consumer demand for healthier foods, combined with the new 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recently announced, which advise the public to consume less sugar, food manufacturers, suppliers and those involved in research and development, are looking for solutions that will reduce the amount of sugar in their products but not sacrifice taste.

      “These trade shows provide us with an excellent opportunity to meet with our customers and well as cultivate relationships with potential new customers,” said Gail Lange, general manager new business for Imperial Sugar. “In addition to promoting our existing line of specialty sweeteners, we are really excited to further introduce our first all-natural sweetener that is already a hit with consumers.”

      The first stop on the schedule is the Southeast IFT Food Industry Expo taking place on March 1, in Atlanta, Ga, which will be attended by major food manufacturers and suppliers in the region. Gail, along with Beth Smith, business development manager – industrial channel for Imperial Sugar, and Kim Vance, customer service manager, will be attending the show.

      Gail, joined by Darrell Gerdes, manager of research and product development for Imperial Sugar, will remain in Atlanta to exhibit at the Research Chefs Association (RCA) Annual Conference and Culinology® Expo from March 2-5. The show provides Imperial Sugar with an opportunity to reach leading professionals for food research and development. Its members are the pioneers of the discipline of Culinology™ – the blending of culinary arts and the science of food.

      Imperial Sugar will also participate at Natural Products Expo West in Anaheim, Calif. from March 11-13. Expo West is the world’s largest natural, organic and healthy products trade show and provides an excellent platform for Imperial Sugar to promote steviacane™, highlighting that it’s an all-natural, low-calorie sweetener solution made from cane sugar and stevia. In addition to steviacane™, Imperial Sugar will also be featuring Baker’s Supreme Frosting, its all-natural, premium frosting mix, and its convenient-to-use Redi-Measure pouches.

      Finally, the Imperial Sugar team will exhibit at the International Association of Confectioners (PMCA) Annual Production Conference, which will be attended by candy manufacturers and confectionery industry suppliers looking for new sweetener solutions to flavor their products. The conference will take place in April in Lancaster, Pa.

      “We invite anyone attending these trade shows and expos to come by our booth and sample our products,” said Gail. “They won’t be disappointed.”

      Braunschweig 21.03.11
      Nordzucker und PureCircle haben Joint Venture NP Sweet gegründet
      Die Nordzucker AG, Braunschweig und PureCircle Limited, Kuala Lumpur/Malaysia haben am 18. März 2011 ihr Vertriebs- und Marketing-Joint-Venture NP Sweet A/S gegründet.
      NP Sweet befasst sich mit der Entwicklung und Vermarktung eines Produktportfolios, das die natürlichen Vorzüge des Zuckers mit den Eigenschaften von Stevia-Produkten kombiniert, um der steigenden Nachfrage des Markts nach kalorienreduzierten, aber natürlichen Süßungsmitteln gerecht zu werden. Das Joint Venture NP Sweet vertreibt seine Stevia- und Steviasucroseprodukte (eine Kombination aus Stevia und Zucker) an Kunden aus der Lebensmittel- und Getränkebranche in Nord- und Osteuropa.
      Dr. Niels Pörksen, Agrarvorstand der Nordzucker AG, erläutert: „Seit unserer Ankündigung im September 2010, dass wir Gespräche mit PureCircle führen, gab es nur positive Reaktionen unserer Kunden. Sie möchten Zugang zu Stevia und Steviasucrose haben, die eine ideale Ergänzung unseres aus Zucker bestehenden Kernsortiments darstellen.“
      Das Joint Venture setzt auf Synergien beider Partner. NP Sweet profitiert von Umfang, Vertriebskanälen und Zuckertechnologie von Nordzucker und Nordzucker von der Stevia-Technologie und den Produktinnovationsfähigkeiten von PureCircle.
      General Manager Lars Bo Jørgensen, NP Sweet: „Wir sind davon überzeugt, dass unsere Steviasucrose-Konzepte für Lebensmittel- und Getränkehersteller überall dort hoch effiziente Lösungen darstellen, wo geschmacklich exzellentes Süßen mit bereits vorhandenen Produktionsmöglichkeiten kombiniert werden soll. Unsere Kunden profitieren in hohem Maße von den einzigartigen und individuell überaus leistungsstarken Plattformen unseres Partners in dem innovativen Bereich der Stevia- und Sucrose-Anwendungstechnologie für eine umfassende Palette an Lebensmitteln und Getränken. Unsere Technologien werden durch integrierte Lieferketten unterstützt, so dass wir unseren Kunden Nachhaltigkeit und Rückverfolgbarkeit vom Anbau bis zur Anwendung gewährleisten können. Das kann kein anderes Unternehmen.“
      Beide Partner betrachten das Joint Venture NP Sweet als wichtigen Wachstumsantreiber, sobald die Zulassung durch die EU-Kommission vorliegen wird. Die Zulassung wird noch vor Ende 2011 erwartet.
      NP Sweet hat den Hauptsitz in Kopenhagen, Dänemark. Die Produktion von Steviasucrose wird sowohl in Skandinavien als auch in Deutschland stattfinden. Die Führungsmannschaft wird aus allen Regionen zusammengestellt, in denen Nordzucker aktiv ist.
      Jordi Ferri, Corporate Vice President, Sales & Marketing, Pure Circle betont: „Wir freuen uns sehr über die Art und Weise, wie sich diese Partnerschaft mit Nordzucker entwickelt. NP Sweet ist für Betreuung und Belieferung des Markts jetzt schon gut aufgestellt - noch bevor die EU-Zulassung dann später im Jahr vorliegen wird.“

      Stevia ist eine Pflanze aus der Familie der Chrysanthemen und stammt aus Paraguay in Südamerika. Sie wird seit vielen Jahrhunderten als natürliches Süßungsmittel und Aromaverstärker genutzt. 2008 erhielt das hochgradig reine (mehr als 96 Prozent) Rebaudiosid A, ein einzelnes Molekül aus der Steviapflanze, von der Food and Drug Administration (FDA) den Status GRAS (generally regarded as safe, dt: allgemein als sicher geltend) für die Verwendung als Süßungsmittel in Nahrungsmitteln und Getränken. Im Hinblick auf das Gewicht ist Rebaudiosid A 300 Mal süßer als Zucker, kalorienfrei, besitzt einen niedrigen glykämischen Index und ist hitze- sowie pH-beständig. Die EU-Zulassung für hochreine Stevia ist für 2011 geplant.

      Steviacane™ Proving Popular Among Consumersiscnewsroom | Mar 30, 2011

      This past weekend, shoppers at select H-E-B stores in Austin, Houston and San Antonio had another opportunity to sample steviacane™, a new, all-natural, low-calorie sweetener launched at the end of last year by Imperial Sugar Company. The comprehensive sampling program has been effective in raising visibility for the innovative new sweetener and highlighting the fact that it contains no artificial ingredients and has an authentic cane sugar taste.

      In January, Imperial Sugar provided consumers with the first opportunity to sample steviacane, timing it with the start of the New Year, when many people were making resolutions to eat healthier. Imperial Sugar partnered with H-E-B to sample steviacane in the retailer’s brand of Ready to Brew Tea. The response from consumers was overwhelmingly positive, with many individuals expressing the desire for more natural, reduced calorie sweetener options that don’t have a bitter or artificial taste.

      H-E-B also featured steviacane in its monthly, in-store consumer publication, My H-E-B Texas Life Magazine, which provided shoppers with an opportunity to learn more about steviacane and contained a healthy smoothie recipe using the sweetener.

      According to Penny Kosut, Business Development Manager for Imperial Sugar Company, “Customers who sampled steviacane at H-E-B stores were given a sample packet of steviacane to take home and perhaps try in their favorite beverage or maybe cereal. We also supported the samplings with a free standing insert coupon to further encourage consumers to purchase steviacane and taste the difference for themselves.”

      As a result of the sampling in January, Imperial Sugar saw a 50 percent increase in sales in the time period surrounding the demonstrations.

      The most recent round of sampling took place at 54 stores in the Austin, Houston and San Antonio areas. This time shoppers had a chance to try steviacane on fresh strawberries lightly covered with the sweetener. Feedback from shoppers who tasted the steviacane was once again positive.

      Due to its growing popularity, Imperial Sugar is in talks with other large retailers to expand distribution of steviacane to regional markets and eventually make it available across the country.

      In London heute im Tief bei 104 Pennies gehandelt. Für einen ersten Einstieg scheint mir der Preis gut, wenn ich bedenkte dass sie vor einem Jahr noch bei über 300 pennies gehandelt wurde.

      Salty Steviacane™ Lastest Innovation from Imperial Sugar

      iscnewsroom | May 10, 2011


      Darrell Gerdes, Manager of Research and New Product Development
      The idea for a salty steviacane™ blend first came to Darrell Gerdes, Manager of Research and New Product Development for Imperial Sugar Company, when he was selecting a candy bar at a local convenience store last fall, not far from the company’s Port Wentworth plant.

      “I saw a PayDay candy bar and thought why can’t we make a salty version of steviacane™ that would give that same great sweet and savory flavor but with reduced calories,” recalls Gerdes.

      Tennessee Hammond, Specialty Product Manager, joined Gerdes in developing and testing the product made through a proprietary co-crystallization process that combines stevia, sugar and sea salt. The new, all-natural product is targeted to consumers, as well as the snack food industry for use in products such as popcorn, candy bars and even potato chips.

      Not only does the product have reduced sugar calories but because sea salt has such a strong flavor, consumers will need to use less to get the same taste, reducing their intake of sodium.

      The salty steviacane™ joins Imperial Sugar’s growing portfolio of sweetener solutions that are part of the company’s growth strategy to develop and market healthy and all-natural sweetener alternatives based upon its proprietary processing technology.

      According to Gerdes, “After we began work on the salty steviacane we immediately saw many additional possibilities for using the blend. There are blends of cinnamon and sugar on the market but the proportions come out all wrong because sugar and cinnamon have different densities so consumers never get the exact flavor they crave. We have combined steviacane and cinnamon in a compound crystal so that every granule has the same correct proportion and great taste.”

      Gerdes and his team are researching other possible savory and spicy versions of steviacane™, including jalapeno and garlic flavored blends.

      The plan is to offer the salty steviacane™ in an easy-to-use shaker so that consumers can conveniently sprinkle on popcorn, baked beans, corn-on-the cob, sweet potato fries, or virtually hundreds of other uses.

      This past March, attendees to the Research Chefs Association annual conference were the first to be given an opportunity to sample the salty steviacane™ on popcorn. The snack was a big hit among the chefs and food scientists at the conference. The popcorn snack made with the blend was also sampled at the recent Black Expo in Savannah, Ga., and was again very popular among show visitors.

      Imperial Sugar plans to continue sampling the salty steviacane™ at food and industry trade shows this summer, along with several other of its savory and spicy steviacane™ blends, including at the IFT Annual Conference & Expo in New Orleans and the Fancy Food Show in Washington, D.C.

      The new sweetener option is produced at the Compound Crystallization station at the Port Wentworth refinery, and will be marketed through Natural Sweet Ventures, a partnership between Imperial Sugar Company and Pure Circle Ltd.

      Innovative products and applications at IFT 2011

      Posted: Monday, May 16, 2011 4:17 pm

      For the 3rd year, Döhler-Milne Aseptics (DMA) and Milne Fruit Products together are presenting innovative products at IFT. This year’s focus is on sugar reduced carbonated soft drinks, still drinks and juice beverages, cereal- & malt-based beverages, nectars and juices as well as a new generation of premium tea drinks.

      For the segment of Carbonated Softdrinks (CSD) and Still Drinks/Juice Beverages DMA has developed a complete range of modern CSD applications using MultiSweet® Stevia. DöhlerGroup and the market leader for Stevia, PureCircle, have entered into a global strategic partnership for Stevia-based sweetening systems. In this partnership DöhlerGroup delivers customized solutions with an excellent sensory balance.

      Highly developed flavour technologies such as “Sweetness Improving Technology” (SIT) and “Sugar Replacement Technology” (SRT) are opening up new opportunities for carbohydrate reduction – with a taste especially close to that of sugar at the same time. At IFT 2011 DMA presents also the proprietary Sugar Replacement Technology (SRT) for silent use.

      In the area of Fruit Juices and Nectars, DMA is showcasing innovative product applications, leveraging the advantages of backward integration in fruit processing of DöhlerGroup and Wyckoff Farms. Samples for tasting and to discuss are combining superfruits and domestic fruits and a new “Enerjuice” with 300 mg/litre of natural Caffeine.

      An integrated range of technologies from extraction, brewing, fermentation to concentration is the basis of an unique cereal- and malt-based product portfolio. These bases constitute pure, acid-stable building blocks which can be incorporated into a wide variety of beverage compounds, making it ideal for beverage producers without using a final filtration step. Thus the beverage industry can easily participate in current trend products which are ranging from “Malt & Fruit” drinks with elderberry or mango to varieties like “Malta con Leche”.

      Furthermore DMA is showcasing a New Generation of Premium Tea Drinks which are developed by DöhlerGroup in close cooperation with Plantextrakt. These new high quality tea drinks offer authentic and full tea taste. All products are made from freshly-brewed tea, which is not concentrated. The new concept appeals perfectly to the trends of naturalness and authenticity.

      .WOW! Nutrition, a pioneer and leading sweetener manufacturer in Brazil, has launched 100% Stevia, a new line of sweeteners under the Doce Menor brand featuring high purity stevia and the stevia by PureCircle® trust mark.

      Doce Menor offers a variety of zero calorie sweeteners, and 100% Stevia marks their latest product line to be naturally sweetened with stevia, adding great tasting, natural sweetness to foods and beverages without adding calories. The new product line’s natural sweetness comes from stevia by PureCircle®, a great tasting, natural ingredient derived from the stevia plant.

      “We are proud to be working with Doce Menor to develop their great tasting 100% Stevia sweetener. Stevia by PureCircle® is contributing to healthier diets for consumers around the world by naturally sweetening food and beverage products,” said Jason Hecker, Vice President of Global Marketing PureCircle Limited. “With consumers demanding more natural and lower calorie options, stevia by PureCircle® delivers a great tasting ingredient that addresses both these needs.”

      100% Stevia is the newest addition to the growing number of food and beverage products that carry the stevia by PureCircle® trust mark, which is currently being licensed by leading brands in the US, Latin America, Europe and Asia across more than 50 food and beverage products. The trust mark serves as a symbol of quality and reliable sourcing for consumers and is supported by such activities as PureCircle’s We Grow Joy campaign (steviapurecircle.com) and the Global Stevia Institute (www.globalsteviainstitute.com)

      “We have already had great response from trade and consumers following the launch of our new natural 100% Stevia sweetener line,” said Lígia V. Hernândez, Marketing Manager of WOW! Nutrition. “Stevia by PureCircle® allowed us to create a great tasting, all natural sweetener and provided a point of difference from the current stevia sweeteners in the Brazilian Market and thus enhancing the communication to our consumers and opinion leaders.”

      100% Stevia is nationally distributed in Brazil in powder and liquid form, supported by a national marketing campaign. WOW! Nutrition is the second largest sweetener manufacturer in Brazil with brands such as Doce Menor, Assugrin, and Gold.

      PureCircle Announces New Breakthrough Natural Flavor Modifier
      June 3, 2011

      Chicago, IL /PRNewswire/ - PureCircle (LSE: PURE), the world's leading producer and marketer of high purity stevia products, announces the launch of a new natural flavor modifier under the trade name NSF-02. The technology for the new product is patented and proprietary to PureCircle Limited.

      NSF-02 is designed specifically to work well in combination with PureCircle's high purity stevia sweeteners, Reb A and SG-95, and sugar or high fructose corn syrup, enhancing flavor, sweetness and taste of food and beverages. The combination of sugar or HFCS with NSF-02 and PureCircle's high purity stevia sweeteners delivers a range of better tasting, low cost, natural product formulations, with reduced calories. As a result, the company expects positive impacts on sales of Reb A and SG95, while generating revenue from NSF-02 on its own.

      PureCircle received clearance from regulators in the United States and a number of other countries and has now begun to market this new technology globally. With food and beverage manufacturers increasingly seeking natural flavor and sweetness enhancer solutions, the new technology fills a clear need in the marketplace. NSF-02 is the first of many new natural flavor systems in the PureCircle pipeline as part of the new PureCircle Flavors™ product line.

      Commenting on the launch, Magomet Malsagov, Chief Executive Officer of PureCircle Limited, said, "PureCircle continues to demonstrate that we are first and foremost an innovation company, with a proven track record of successfully discovering, manufacturing, and marketing new technologies, such as Reb A and SG95. NSF-02 is the first natural flavor that is break-through in its ability to help stevia, across various applications, to naturally reduce calories in the food and beverage industry."

      After scaling its production in FY 2010 to demonstrate successfully that it can support large brand adoption of high purity stevia, the Group has temporarily reduced its production levels to run down its inventory to better match current demand and to improve operating cashflows. Inventory reductions are being achieved across the supply chain from leaf to finished goods.

      In addition, the Group is reconfiguring its production capacity to better suit its portfolio of products, now enlarged with the launch of the new PureCircle Flavors product line, including NSF-02.

      In the FY 2011 results, the Group is expecting to book one-off costs relating to these changes of $10-15m, not all of which is cash. Group operating cashflows and net debt at 30 June 2011 are expected to be in line with expectations. The actions being taken are expected to improve operating cashflow by more than $20m in the period to 30 June 2012.

      Commenting on the one-off charges, William Mitchell, the Group CFO said "The reduction in production levels is temporary as we align inventory to the current market and further improve operating cashflows. The reconfiguration of some production assets provides for flexibility to produce an enlarged product portfolio which is expected to improve future earnings".

      Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 41.663.752 von Simonalex am 17.06.11 18:20:13Mit rund 145 Mio € Marktkapitalisierung ist PC damit aber immer noch ziemlich teuer!! Mittlerweile ist ja nicht mal mehr ein Gewinn zu erwarten. Wenn ich mir dann noch vorstelle, dass der inflationäre Dollar die Gewinne in Zukunft weiter drücke könnte, dann wird eine gerechtfertigte Erholung des Aktienkurses wohl wenns schlecht läuft noch bisschen auf sich warten. Und Sunwin ist da keinen Deut besser. Man muss sehen, so schnell wies geht sein Geschäft auch auf Europa und Indien zu stützen - wie PC ja selbst schreibt. Dass das von der Zulassung abhängt ist freilich klar.

      Jedenfalls bin auch ich auf PC wieder aufmerksam geworden, jetzt, wo der Kurs so gefallen ist. Dennoch finde ich die Aktie noch weit! zu teuer! Und das noch nicht mal vom EPS aus gesehen, sondern einfach von der Bewertung der Aktie an der Börse. Trotz Phantasie (die ja nun weicht) ist das stattlich. Der Kurs liegt zwar derzeit ziemlich genau auf dem NAV, aber selbst bei einer Rückkehr zum EBITDA von 2009 haben wir noch ein KGV von rd. 10. Und dies ist ja bekanntlich nicht zu erwarten im FY 2011.

      Wenigstens hat man hier mittlerweile eher eine genaue Vorstellung, was man mal erreichen will, wenn ich das Ganze mal mit Sunwin vergleiche. Dort wird ja seit Jahren vor sich hingedümpelt und gewurschtelt. Während ich derzeit nun mein Stevia, welches ich in den USA bestelle (mit den vorhandenen, vom Kostengesichtspunkt her gesehen effektiven Möglichkeiten) von GLG oder PC bestelle, so erhält man OnlySweet noch nicht mal mehr auf Ebay, gescheige denn über Amazon. Da macht es PC schon besser.

      Bin mal gespannt, wenn mein Truvia eintrifft, das wird für mich der erste Vergleich von hochwertigem Stevia zu OnlySweet sein. Das Zeug was man hier in Europa/Schland bekommt ist ja zum Fürchten. Da schmeckt man die Enzyme ja förmlich raus.

      Bin gespannt, wie es weitergeht. Danke an Apo, dass Du noch dabei bist und so fleißig informierst.

      PureCircle Announces Global Distribution Agreement with Firmenich for Breakthrough Natural Flavor, NSF-02

      PureCircle (LSE:PURE), the world's leading developer, producer and marketer of high purity stevia ingredients, announces today a multi-year global distribution agreement with Firmenich, the world's largest privately-owned fragrance and flavor company, to accelerate the commercialization of the company's new breakthrough natural flavor, NSF-02.

      Earlier this month, PureCircle announced the launch of its new PureCircle Flavors product line including NSF-02.

      http://www.purecircle.com/news/general-news/purecircle-annou…

      NSF-02 is designed specifically to work well in combination with PureCircle's high purity stevia sweeteners, Reb A and SG-95, and sugar or high fructose corn syrup, enhancing flavor, sweetness and taste of food and beverages. The flavor modifier, in combination with PureCircle's high purity stevia sweeteners, delivers a range of better tasting, low cost, natural product formulations, with reduced calories.

      Under the agreement, Firmenich will have exclusive rights to commercialize NSF-02 both as a stand-alone ingredient and within the company's flavor systems. PureCircle will retain rights to distribute directly in select accounts. Also, as part of the agreement the two companies will further collaborate on marketing and regulatory activities that will accelerate the adoption of the new flavor modifier across global markets, beyond the US where NSF-02 has FEMA GRAS status.

      Commenting on the collaboration, Magomet Malsagov, Chief Executive Officer of PureCircle, said:

      "Globally, we continue to see great momentum toward natural reduced calorie formulations. We recognize the importance of continuous innovation to ensure we provide our customers' advantages as they launch new products and reformulate existing ones. Combining PureCircle's flavor innovation and stevia portfolio with Firmenich's world class expertise in incorporating sweetness enhancement and flavor masking ingredients will accelerate the adoption of our new innovation globally."

      Patrick Firmenich, Chief Executive Officer of Firmenich, added:

      "As an industry leader in research and innovation, we are committed to helping our client's improve the nutritional profile of their products without compromising on taste. Building on our earlier stevia sweetener partnership with PureCircle, we continue the pursuit breakthrough flavor solutions that fulfill the desires of consumers around the world, who are looking for great tasting, low sugar, low calorie foods and beverages."

      EU STANDING COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION FOR EU APPROVAL :look:



      PureCircle (LSE: PURE) the world's largest producer and marketer of high purity stevia today provides a stevia market update concerning proposed EU regulatory approval of high purity stevia.

      PureCircle notes that at its 4 July 2011 meeting, the EU Standing Committee on Food Chain and Animal Health voted to recommend the approval of high purity stevia for use as a food ingredient throughout the EU. This is an important milestone in the process for high purity stevia to achieve full EU approval. The Standing Committee has also recommended that the temporary French approval be extended to ensure no disruption in the France market.

      The next step in the regulatory process for high purity stevia is scrutiny of the proposed regulations by the European Parliament. If these next steps progress well, then it is likely that high purity stevia will be allowed to be used as an ingredient in the EU by November 2011.

      Commenting on the Standing Committee vote, PureCircle CEO Magomet Malsagov said "This is an important milestone on the path to securing approval for high purity stevia in the important EU market. We know that there is strong consumer and Food and Beverage demand for stevia in Europe. We look forward to being allowed to supply that demand before the end of 2011".

      ("PureCircle" or the "Company")

      TRADING UPDATE


      PureCircle (LSE: PURE) the world's largest producer and marketer of high purity stevia today provides a trading update in respect of its second half to 30 June 2011 (2H FY 2011). The Company's results statement for the full year FY 2011 will be announced on 26 September 2011.

      Sales

      In 2H FY2011 sales are expected to be 70% ahead of 2H FY 2010 at about $40m; in line with market expectations. Sales in 2H FY 2011 are underpinned by fulfillment of the contracted volumes with the Company's strategic beverage account and by continued strong growth in Reb A & SG95 volumes to the Group's increasing number of other customers worldwide. In addition the Group has made initial sales of its new proprietary natural flavor system range, NSF-02.

      Margins and net profit

      With increased sales volumes, in 2H FY 2011 the Group expects to report a positive net margin, before one off charges. EBITDA* for 2H FY 2011 is expected to be in the range of $3-5m. Net margin and EBITDA are both expected to be ahead of the comparable period in FY10.

      Cashflow and net debt

      The Group is expecting to be cashflow positive in 2H FY2011. This reflects reductions in the Group's inventories due to higher sales, partially offset by receivables that will be higher than at 31 December 2010.

      The positive net cashflow will result in a reduction in net debt, which is expected to end FY 2011 at not more than $72m, $5m lower than at 31 December 2010 and ahead of expectations. Further reductions in net debt are expected in the coming months.

      The 2H FY 2011 net cashflow is expected to show $20m improvement on the net cashflow achieved in the comparable 2H FY 2010.

      The Group total funding headroom at the end of 2H is expected to be at $60m.

      Commenting on the 2H FY 2011 trading update, PureCircle CEO Magomet Malsagov said "As expected we are seeing a strengthening in demand for our high purity stevia products. We have also secured initial sales of new natural flavor innovations that were introduced recently to the market. The decisions we have taken to improve cashflow are clearly taking effect. We end FY 2011 with an enhanced customer base in a growing market, diversified portfolio of products with introduction of PureCircle Flavors™ and with sufficient headroom on our treasury facilities. We expect continued growth, however our guidance for high level of market demand remains mid to long term based. Until then, there will continue to be some volatility in our results".

      * 2H net margins and EBITDA are stated before the one off charges announced on 17 June 2011 which will be reflected in the full year FY2011 results to be announced on 26 September 2011.

      PureCircle gets more regulatory good news for sugar substitute

      7:25 am by Jon Mainwaring PureCircle is the world's largest supplier of high-purity stevia - a naturally-occurring sugar substitute

      Sugar substitute company PureCircle (LON:PURE) is set to benefit from further regulatory approval for high-purity stevia – the naturally-occurring sweetener that it is the world’s largest producer of.

      A body set up by the World Health Organisation and the Food and Agriculture Organisation, the Codex Alimentarius Commission, has adopted all the proposed draft maximum levels for steviol glycosides (naturally-occurring compounds that are far sweeter than sucrose) by its committee on food additives. Codex guidelines are used by many countries as the benchmark for their own internal approval processes.

      As part of the adoption, the approved maximum-use levels across all major food and beverage categories have now been defined.

      PureCircle said that this is the “last outstanding major approval” that will unlock a number of important markets such as India, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines since these countries look for the Codex adoption of a food ingredient to support their own evaluation and approval.

      The firm added that it has been actively engaged in these markets on regulatory approval and market development.

      “This has been an important week for approval and adoption of stevia as a mainstream food ingredient around the globe,” said Magomet Malsagov, PureCircle’s chief executive officer. “Early this week, we had a positive vote by the EU Standing Committee recommending steviol glycosides in Europe. We now welcome this week's Codex adoption which will help to open all remaining new markets for PureCircle's high purity stevia products around the world.”

      FURTHER REGULATORY APPROVAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR STEVIA



      PureCircle (LSE: PURE), the world's largest producer and marketer of high purity stevia, today provides a stevia market update concerning the Codex Alimentarius Commission adoption of proposed maximum levels for steviol glycosides.

      PureCircle notes that during its meeting this week, the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC), adopted all the proposed draft maximum levels for steviol glycosides as submitted for adoption by the Codex Committee on Food Additives (CCFA). The CAC official report will be issued after the end of the meeting on July 9th.

      The Codex Alimentarius Commission, or Codex, was created by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO). Its main purposes are to protect the health of consumers and to ensure fair practices in international trade in food through the development of food standards, codes of practice, guidelines and other recommendations. Codex standards and guidelines are developed by committees, which are open to all UN member countries. The Codex standards and guidelines are then used by many countries as the benchmark for their own internal approval processes.

      As part of the adoption, the approved maximum use levels across all major food and beverage categories have now been defined. This is the last outstanding major approval that will unlock a number of important markets such as India, Indonesia, Thailand, and Philippines. Such countries look for the Codex adoption of a food ingredient to support their evaluation and approval. PureCircle has been actively engaged in these markets on regulatory approval and market development.

      Commenting on the adoption by the Codex Alimentarius Commission, PureCircle CEO Magomet Malsagov said "This has been an important week for approval and adoption of stevia as a mainstream food ingredient around the globe. Early this week, we had a positive vote by the EU Standing Committee recommending steviol glycosides in Europe.

      High Purity Stevia Market Update

      PureCircle (LSE: PURE), the world's leading supplier and marketer of high purity stevia products, provides an update on the global high purity stevia market.

      High Purity Market Size

      · Based on Nielsen USA consumer retail sales for the quarter to 31 March 2011 and internal PureCircle data, the Company estimates annualized USA consumer usage of 195 tonnes high purity stevia. This is an increase of 97 tonnes (101%) from the annualized consumption for the quarter to 31 March 2010.

      · In the US, the high purity industrial sales volumes translate to consumer retail consumption of an estimated $1.1bn in annualized Food and Beverage products sweetened with stevia. This compares to $459m of annualized consumer retail sales in the quarter to 31 March 2010 (an increase of 146%).

      · The higher rate of growth in retail sales value compared to volume consumption is due to the changing mix of products using high purity stevia; in particular more reduced and mid-calorie product formulations are now being consumed as opposed to just diet or zero calorie products.

      · The market is experiencing growth across all key categories. Assessing data from categories that saw launches at least one year ago, it is clear that there is strong repeat purchase and growth in usage. Examples include:

      o Flavored Waters: The category has reached nearly $500m in estimated annualized sales, up +35% over the prior quarter to 31 December 2010 and up +75% over the quarter to 31 March 2010 in the prior year.

      o Juices: The category has reached $220m in estimated annualized sales, up +27% over the prior quarter and +98% on quarter to 31 March 2010.

      o Baked Goods: The category has grown to $100m in estimated annualized sales in the past year, up +179% over prior quarter.

      o Sugar Substitutes: The US table top market annualized retail sales are now estimated to be in excess of $100m, +17% over prior quarter and +64% over the quarter to 31 March 2010.

      · In addition there is a broadening of category usage, with launches seen within the last year in the following categories: Carbonated Soft Drinks, Ready to Drink Tea, Powdered Soft Drinks, Yogurts, Fruit Flavoured Drinks, Soymilk, Baked Goods, Salad Dressings, Sports Drinks, Snacks, Energy Drinks, Smoothies, Cereal, and Dessert Mixes. PureCircle notes that launches in the important Carbonated Soft Drink (CSD) and Powdered Soft Drink (PSD) categories are still only niche.

      · According to Datamonitor, 301 food and beverage products sweetened with high purity stevia launched in the US in the 12 months to 31 March 2011, a 23% increase compared to the previous 12 months to 31 March 2010.

      · Analysis of the ingredient usage by non table top food and beverage companies indicates that PureCircle is direct or indirect supplier to approximately 90% of the products by volume and 86% by value.

      · Qualitatively, the USA usage volumes imply a global consumer usage of about 260 tonnes (130 tonnes March 2010).

      · Allowing for retailer store and distribution inventory, annual global Food and Beverage manufacturer usage is estimated at about 300 tonnes.


      New Product launches

      Since the start of 2011, notable new product launches by major global and regional manufacturers have occurred across North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia with high purity stevia, including:

      · USA: Lipton 100% Natural Iced Tea, Gatorade G Series Fit sports drink, Nestle Jamba All Natural Energy Drink, Lala Yogurt Smoothie, Thomas' Bagel Thins, Arnold Sandwich Thins, Arnold Artisan Ovens Flatbread, Vitamin Water line extensions, Trop50 lemonade line extensions, Wish-Bone salad dressing line extensions, Sobe Lifewater line extensions.

      · Latin America: Equal Sweet table top (Argentina), Doce Menor 100% Stevia table top (Brazil), Iansa Cero K table top (Chile), Natuvia table top (Costa Rica).


      · France: Teisseire flavored syrup, 1883 de Philibert Routin sugar-free syrup, Routin Fruiss Stevia syrup.



      · Asia: Tenwow Group flavoured water (China), Nestle Hot Choco Delite (South Korea), Nestea flavored iced tea (Malaysia), Nescafe Coffee Latte (Malaysia).

      · Australia: Heinz Golden Circle Light juice, Play Naturals flavoured water by P&N Beverages, Play Fruitz flavoured water by P&N Beverages.

      Our contracts and market analysis show that PureCircle is the supplier for the majority part of the new launches. Further a growing number of the launches are carrying the Stevia PureCircle trust mark including Equal Sweet table top (Argentina), Natuvia table top (Cost Rica) and Doce Menor 100% Stevia table top (Brazil).


      Consumer Developments

      As a result of product launch activities, consumer awareness has been growing across key markets. A recent study (May 2011) in the US market indicates the following key developments:

      · Consumer aided stevia awareness has now reached 62% across the general US population, up from 46% one year earlier (April 2010).

      · Awareness of stevia at 62% is 20 percentage points higher in the US market than Sucralose at 42% awareness, despite Sucralose having been introduced to the market in 1998.


      Commenting on the stevia market update, Jason Hecker, Corporate Vice President Global Marketing for PureCircle said "The market data across all regions shows consistent strong growth in consumer awareness and demand for high purity stevia sweetened products. We believe this trend will continue and will accelerate with the forthcoming opening of the EU market."

      PureCircle is Awarded Certificate of Accreditation for ‘Next Generation’ Proprietary Stevia Variety in China

      Aug 5 2011 --- PureCircle, the world’s leading producer of high purity stevia products, announces that its new proprietary stevia variety, PureCircle Star 1, has been awarded a certificate of accreditation by the Jiangxi Agricultural Crop Audit Committee in China. This certificate gives PureCircle full intellectual property rights to the new stevia variety.

      PureCircle Star 1 is a higher quality stevia plant due to successful traditional cross breeding techniques of carefully selected stevia plants. It contains higher total steviol glycoside content, especially Reb A content, within its leaves. This results in improved manufacturing processes due to greater dry leaf yield and refining efficiencies.

      In fact, according to comparison tests conducted against a control group of stevia plants, PureCircle Star 1 yielded 33% more dry leaf. PureCircle Star 1’s higher yield was confirmed by the Jiangxi Agricultural Crop Audit Committee’s expert panel during an evaluation on July 20, 2011.

      Already in 2011 PureCircle has been working directly with local farmers in more than 5 counties around the Ganxian, Jiangxi region of China as well as the Fujia province to provide seedlings and plant the new proprietary stevia variety. To date, PureCircle Star 1 has been planted in 46 hectares of land with plans to achieve large scale plantations for the next planting season.

      PureCircle Star 1 is the latest example of how PureCircle is at the forefront of natural plant breeding innovation. PureCircle continues to invest in high quality leaf propagation stock to accelerate further improvements in leaf quality and increase stevia plant yield through natural yet selective breeding, improved plant propagation techniques and plantation practices.

      PureCircle’s industry leadership stems from their fully integrated supply chain, ensuring quality and control from leaf to finished product. It is through this level of control that PureCircle can breed higher quality stevia varieties like PureCircle Star 1 and continue to set the standard for quality within the stevia industry.

      PURECIRCLE ESTABLISHES UK OPERATIONS AND

      EXPANDS DISTRIBUTION IN ANTICIPATION OF STEVIA DEMAND



      PureCircle Limited (LSE: PURE) PureCircle, the world's leading producer and marketer of high purity stevia products, announces today a significant expansion of its European presence with the opening of a new European headquarters in London and the signing of a UK distribution agreement with Prinova Europe (formerly known as Premium Ingredients Int'l).



      With European approval for high purity stevia ingredients expected by the end of this year, PureCircle has stepped up its application support for customers preparing for launches across Europe.

Similar activity is anticipated across Europe, including the UK which is one of the largest markets for sweeteners in Europe.



      Commenting on the recent expansion, Jordi Ferre, President of PureCircle's Commercial Division said, "PureCircle recognized early on the European Union's potential for rapid growth, and responded by establishing strong joint ventures with leading sugar producers. We are now pleased to take another important step by establishing PureCircle's new business entity in the UK. Our direct UK presence will enable us to partner with customers across Europe. Sales, marketing, and application support will all be available through the UK operations further demonstrating PureCircle's industry leading ability to provide solutions to customers throughout product development stages.



      PureCircle's UK reach will be further extended through the new distribution agreement with PrinovaTM which builds on the existing successful distribution relationship the two companies have already established in the US market.

      PURECIRCLE LIMITED (Other OTC: PCRTF.PK - news)

      ("PureCircle" or the "Company")


      PureCircle Expands Portfolio with New Stevia Sweetener Capable of Greater Calorie Reduction

      PureCircle (Xetra: A0M887 - news) (LSE: PURE) (www.purecircle.com), the world's leading producer and marketer of high purity stevia products, announces the launch of a new proprietary breakthrough stevia sweetener, under the trade name Alpha. The new sweetener will now be offered as the Company's best tasting product when used to formulate to deeper calorie reductions levels. The Company has filed for extensive patent protection for the ingredient, globally.


      Alpha is a natural fit within the PureCircle product portfolio as a 100% natural, high purity stevia sweetener. It consists of a proprietary combination of steviol glycosides developed as a solution for products seeking 50-100% calorie reductions.


      Following extensive sensory and application development work in PureCircle's Global Application Center, in Oakbrook, Illinois, marked improvements were identified versus existing stevia sweeteners on the market. Formulation improvements have been identified in applications from teas, to juices and dairy product, to flavoured waters and carbonated soft drinks.

      In particular, its composition allows for a more rounded sweetness and less bitterness at higher sugar replacement levels. Alpha is expected to play an important role in PureCircle's existing portfolio, including Reb A, SG95 and PureCircle Flavor NSF-02.

      Timing of the launch is ideal to align with customers' preparation for stevia approval in Europe (Chicago Options: ^REURTRUSD - news) , expected later this year. Alpha is now being offered as a leading ingredient alongside Reb A and SG95. The sweetener meets JECFA specifications and is available immediately for use in global markets where stevia is approved.

      Commenting on the launch, Magomet Malsagov, Chief Executive Officer for PureCircle said, "PureCircle continues to demonstrate that at our core we are an innovation company. Our decades of research into natural sweeteners, put us in a unique position to identify and quickly commercialize the best that stevia has to offer. We continue to work closely with our customers on Alpha and other new pipeline ingredients which we will bring to market. The pace of innovation and development in our labs continues to accelerate."

      Natural sweetener stevia clears its first hurdle
      Viveat Susan Pinto / Mumbai September 21, 2011, 1:08 IST


      Food safety regulator recommends natural alternative for soft drink concentrates, chewing gums and others.

      For the growing number of calorie conscious-consumers, who would prefer a more natural alternative to sugar, there could be good news. A scientific panel for food additives at the apex Food Safety and Standards Authority of India:) (FSSAI), the regulatory body which makes rules for food safety, has recommended the use of stevia, a natural sweetener for use in carbonated water, soft drink concentrates, chewing gums and table-top sweeteners.



      The recommendations represent the first hurdle crossed by leading fast moving consumer goods companies such as soft drinks major Coca-Cola, branded edible oil & commodities major Cargill India and PureCircle (a stevia supplier), which had applied for permission for its usage in the country.

      The recommendations will have to be cleared by an expert panel of FSSAI, a draft notification will then be circulated to all stakeholders before the final change is notified. The process can take eight to twelve months.

      The panel has recommended up to 200 milligrams per kg of steviol equivalent, which is an active component in stevia, in carbonated water and soft drink concentrates. In chewing gums, the panel has recommended up to 3,500 milligrams per kg of steviol equivalent, while in table-top sweeteners the panel has not prescribed an upper limit leaving it to the discretion of the manufacturer instead who will have to declare how much he is using per tablet on the pack.

      It has, however, sought clarity on the use of stevia in table-top sweeteners.

      While Coca-Cola declined to comment, Ishteyaque Amjad, director, corporate affairs at Cargill said the move was a positive one. "We haven't received the letter from the FSSAI. But when we do, we will respond to it,” he said. Cargill markets the second-largest table-top sweetener in the US called Truvia.

      This product uses two additives stevia and erythritol in combination with each other.

      Stevia is a species of herbs and shrubs, which was first grown in both north and south America. As a sweetener, stevia's taste has a slower onset and longer duration than that of sugar-and is an attractive natural sweetener for people with diabetes or who prefer low sugar diets.

      Industry experts, however, say that while the shrub is available in retail stores and grown in some places in south India, the sugar lobby has not taken too well to the alternative. The reason, say FMCG companies, is that as much as 60 per cent of sugar produced in the country is consumed by alcohol, beverages and confectionery companies.

      The popularity of stevia could pose a challenge to them.

      Stevia extracts are up to 300 times sweeter than sugar. To achieve the profile of sugar, therefore, using it with another additive helps.

      Globally, Stevia is approved as a food additive in a number of countries, including the US, China, Japan, Mexico, France, Paraguay, Korea, Brazil, Israel, Malaysia and Taiwan. In Japan it accounts for over 40 per cent of the sweetener market there. The European Union is on track to clear stevia for use by the end of this year.

      The additive this year was approved by CODEX Alimentarius, an international body created by the Food and Agriculture Organisation and the World Health Organisation, for usage across product forms.

      While the recommendations by FSSAI's scientific panel for food additives do not explicitly state whether stevia can be used in combination with another additive, food science experts say it would have helped had that been considered as well. A detailed mail to FSSAI seeking answers to these questions remained unanswered. "People prefer the taste of sugar. And if stevia can be used in combination with another additive, it will help," said the managing director of a food company, requesting anonymity.

      Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi in India, for instance, use aspartame and acesulfame K, which are synthesied, high-intense sweeteners.

      If stevia is allowed to be used in combination with low-intense sweeteners, it could go a long way in helping manufacturers replace high-intense, synthesied sweeteners, which are said to have adverse effects in case of high usage, said experts.

      Apart from aspartame and acesulfame K, the other high-intense sweeteners permitted in India include splenda or sucralose and saccharine.

      Merisant Poised to Launch its Natural Origin Sweetener Canderel Green and to Promote the Work of the Global Stevia Institute on Stevia History & Benefits

      Autor: PR Newswire (engl.) | 28.09.2011, 12:00 | 135 Aufrufe | 0 |


      PARIS, September 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --


      Ahead of the introduction of its stevia-based sweetener Canderel Green in Europe, Merisant today unveils an education initiative with the Global Stevia Institute (GSI) to increase awareness and understanding of the origin and benefits of the stevia plant in the European marketplace among health professionals and consumers.


      Merisant is a global leader in tabletop sweeteners with a strong position in Europe. Canderel Green was developed following numerous years of research and development for the European market and has been designed to specifically match European tastes. To create Canderel Green, high purity stevia extracts, are blended with other ingredients of natural origin to deliver a superior taste profile and experience. Its natural origin, taste and zero-calorie content mean that it is a great addition for the European consumers.

By tapping the expertise of the GSI and its board of scientific advisors comprising of nutritionists, medical doctors, and health educators, Merisant is helping to build broader awareness within the context of natural health and wellness trends that continue to be a focal point for consumers in Europe.


      Hugues Pitre, Merisant Vice-President & Managing Director EAME, explains "Merisant has really pioneered the application of the stevia plant in table-top sweeteners and created very early on the Whole Earth Sweetener Company (WesCo) in order to dedicate specific resource to the development of all-natural products. We launched our stevia-based sweetener PureVia in France last year and the brand has been extremely successful, achieving tremendous growth and the No1 position on the market. With this strong track record and its intimate knowledge of the category across Europe, Merisant is now particularly well positioned to introduce successfully Canderel Green on the European market."

      Sugar-free scramble: two rivals prepare to launch plant-based sweeteners in the UKNew products Truvia and PureVia, derived from South American plant, set to reinvigorate stagnating £60m market

      reddit this Comments (0)
      Rebecca Smithers The Observer, Sunday 2 October 2011 Article history
      Tate & Lyle's low calorie sweetener Splenda is one of the leaders of the £60m UK market, which will soon by open to new products derived from the South American stevia plant. Photograph: Rex Features
      It's limbering up to be a multimillion-pound tussle between two multinational food and drink companies for the waistlines and purses of health-conscious British consumers.

      Rival manufacturers are battling to be the first to launch new sweetener products derived from a natural source – the leaves of the South American stevia plant – in British supermarkets towards the end of this month, once final paperwork is cleared with food regulators in Brussels.

      Both are hoping to bolster the UK's stagnant £60m sweetener sector and take market share from the long-standing artificial alternatives.

      Amid consumer concerns about the high chemical content of artificial sweeteners such as saccharin and sucralose – and the health concerns surrounding aspartame in particular – its manufacturers hope the new sweetener will be more appealing to shoppers looking for a healthier alternative to sugar. The current market leaders are Merisant's Canderel and Tate & Lyle's Splenda.

      In one corner is a new product called Truvia, which is being brought to the UK through a partnership between Silver Spoon – the sugar producer owned by Associated British Foods – and the US food group Cargill, the world's largest private company. It boldly promises health-conscious consumers a calorie-free sweet taste which "won't end up on your conscience or on your thighs" – even though it has racked up quite a few airmiles in the process.

      And in the other corner is PureVia – a sweetener developed jointly by Pepsico and Merisant. It is being produced in conjunction with stevia producer PureCircle, which recently announced a new European headquarters in London and the signing of a new UK distribution agreement.

      The new sweetener, which is 200 times sweeter than sugar, is derived from the stevia plant – a small shrub grown largely in Argentina and Paraguay that has been used for centuries by the indigenous population to sweeten their food and drink. It is made from steviol glycoside, obtained by steeping the leaves in water, which is further purified to provide a calorie-free sweet taste.

      In partnership with Coca-Cola, Cargill launched Truvia in the US nearly three years ago, since when it has grabbed a 12.7% share of the US tabletop sweetener market worth $685m (£434m) annually.

      The future is large. A report from Mintel last year estimated that the global stevia market could be worth $2bn by the end of this year.

      Truvia's Zanna McFerson said she was confident it would be a hit with British shoppers: "Being natural and with zero calories is a powerful combination… It looks and tastes good with the crunch and crystal formation of sugar… We are very excited about bringing it to the UK."

      More than a quarter of all British households (26%) currently buy artificial sweeteners. In the US the sector had been declining – mirrored in the UK, where sales of sweeteners edged up by only 0.02% last year and where sugar sales have been in long-term decline, falling by 3% a year for the last 15 years. A renaissance in the popularity of home baking has made up for some of the shortfall.

      The imminent launch of the products follows recent regulatory approval. In April last year the European Food Safety Authority said it considered sweeteners made from stevia to be safe for use in food and beverages. Earlier last month the ingredient cleared the final hurdle of formal EU approval, allowing plans for be made for the UK launch in the UK to go ahead in the coming weeks once final paperwork has been lodged.

      Truvia will be distributed through supermarkets, restaurants, hotels and other food distribution outlets, at a price premium of about 30% compared with existing sweeteners. The product launch will be supported by a £5m advertising campaign early next year.

      Tony Lucas, marketing director of Silver Spoon, said: "The introduction of stevia-based sweeteners to the UK market will be one of the most significant category developments in this country in years."

      He said there was scope for the new product to increase the UK sweetener market by 18% over two years, adding £10m to sales.

      But in the US, the launch of Truvia has not been without controversy and a flurry of consumer complaints on internet talkboards relating to its taste, which some people complain is bitter, along with alleged side effects such as diarrhoea, bloating, wind and constipation.

      Domestic Producers Aim at EU Market of Stevia Sweeteners October 9, 2011

      FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
      (Free-Press-Release.com) October 9, 2011 -- On 7 September 2011, PureCircle Limited (PureCircle), the world's leading producer and marketer of high purity stevia products, announces that it steps up expansion in stevia sweetener market in the EU. Meanwhile, some domestic stevia sweetener producers also expressed their aims. All these above is because EU market of stevia sweeteners may be opened by the end of this year when the EU approves stevia and stevia glycosides (EU approval), according to CCM’s latest issue of Sweeteners China News.



      PureCircle established a new European headquarter in London and signed a UK distribution agreement with Prinova Group LLC. (Prinova Europe), a global food ingredient supplier. According to Jordi Ferre, President of PureCircle's Commercial Division, the company is now going to take the important step by establishing new PureCircle business entity in the UK, which will enable it to partner with customers across EU.

      PureCircle and domestic stevia sweetener producers plan to expand their EU business thanks to the approval. At present, stevia and steviol glycosides, two major stevia sweeteners, are not permitted for sale as food or food ingredients in the UK and most other EU countries. But by the end of this year, the use of stevia sweetener will be approved in the EU, attracting related producers' penetration into the market.



      In order to get viewpoints of domestic stevia sweetener producers, CCM International investigates six major stevia sweetener producers in China, four of which are big companies, including GLG Life Tech Corporation (GLG), PureCircle (Jiangxi) Co.,Ltd (Jiangxi Purecircle), Shandong Huaxian Stevia Co., Ltd. (Shandong Huaxian) and Qufu Haigen Stevia Products Co., Ltd. (Qufu Haigen). The left two are small-size and medium-size companies, including Jining Aoxing Stevia Products Co., Ltd. (Jining Aoxing) and Heilongjiang Land Reclamation Huiju Hailin Stevioside Co., Ltd. (Heilongjiang Hailin).

      According to CCM International's survey, lots of manufacturers are impressively attracted by huge market potential of stevia sweeteners in the EU. All of the six internal producers CCM International interviewed anticipated a prosperous future growth of stevia sweeteners in the EU market.



      Moreover, stevia sweetener market in the EU may enjoy fast growth, especially those high purity ones. Take France as a good example, with temporary approval for high purity stevia sweeteners from the EU, it saw speedy development of stevia awareness and market adoption in low calorie sweetener category. A similar situation is likely to occur across all EU countries this time, remarkably boosting domestic stevia sweetener industry. This predication is well agreed by all six stevia sweetener producers CCM International investigated. Besides, they added that currently high purity sweeteners, such as RA80, RA95 and RA97, are popularly received in non-EU markets. And this trend will probably happen in EU market too.



      At present, the six domestic producers are waiting for the opening of the stevia sweetener market in the EU, and they choose different ways to enter the EU market. Among them, Jining Aoxing and Jiangxi Purecirlce will enter directly on their own, while the other four would like to cooperate with overseas distributors and traders. Whichever way they choose, since the attraction is so appealing, domestic producers will spare no effort to export as much stevia sweeteners as possible to the EU. However, on the other side, since the attraction is so appealing, abundant of producers will fight to seize a market share, leading to intense competition among them.

      Additionally, EU approval may greatly benefit domestic stevia sweetener industry. According to CCM International's survey, stevia sweeteners are export-oriented products in China, whose estimated export volume accounts for about 60%-70% of total output of stevia sweeteners, Some companies export even more, such as Shandong Huaxian and Qufu Haigen, whose present export volumes take up 80% of their total output. Hence, EU approval is going to accelerate domestic players' export business.

      Also ich habe Stevia flüssig im Gebrauch für Salate,
      Yoghurt etc.

      Ansonsten benutze ich Sucolin. Es eignet sich hervorragend zum Backen, hat beinahe die gleiche Konsistenz wie Zucker und ist völlig kalorienfrei. Es ist aber auch mit chemischen Süßstoffen zu vergleichen und wirkt sich nicht auf den Insulinspiegel aus.

      Ich habe es immer in der Tasche, um es unterwegs in Capuccino etc. zu geben.

      Hier spare ich richtig Kalorien.

      Hallo, mal eine Frage!

      Sehr interessanter Süßstoff, dieser Stevia! Auch die mögliche Zulassung in der EU!

      ABER!
      Kann die Pflanze "Stevia rebaudiana" nicht auch von anderen Firmen angepflanzt und vertrieben werden oder haben PureCircle besondere Patente darauf?

      Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 42.309.020 von adream am 06.11.11 17:59:22Jawohl, das kann und wird sie auch. Hier sei beispielsweise Sunwin oder GLG erwaehnt.

      Gluecklicherweise aber ist Stevia nicht gleich Stevia und so kommt es, dass PC rund 90 Patente besitzt an seiner Technik und seinen Prozessen der Gewinnung eines wohlschmeckenden Stevia, das moeglichst wenig Nebengeschmack aufweist,wie das so bei Billigprodukten leider an der Tagesordnung ist (bitterer Geschmack< Produkt mit Enzymen versetzt uswusf).

      Ein Blick auf die Website von PC ist in dieser Hinsicht sehr aufschlussreich.

      Regulatory Approval for Stevia in the European Union



      PureCircle (LSE: PURE), the world's leading supplier and marketer of high purity stevia products announces the EU Commission's regulatory approval for the use of steviol glycosides in foods and beverages in the European Union.

      The regulation permitting the sale and use of steviol glycosides has now been published in the Official Journal of the European Union as of November 12th. Twenty calendar days following this publication date, the regulation will enter into force and will be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in the EU Member States, allowing for sale of products formulated with steviol glycosides as early as December 2nd.

      The number of food and beverage products sweetened with stevia continues to grow rapidly across markets and categories. Globally over 1,000 stevia sweetened products have launched and are now available across five continents and all major food and beverage categories. Products are now beginning to launch in larger brands and becoming more established through line extensions and increasing marketing support. In the US, the annual retail sales of stevia sweetened products have grown to more than $1.2B. In the EU, France allowed for an interim approval of high purity stevia extract, Reb A, in 2009. Since then, stevia has enjoyed similar success with consumers. In July 2011, awareness of the sweetener among the general population had already reached 47%, up from 23% just a year earlier.

      Magomet Malsagov, CEO of PureCircle Limited stated, "The approval of stevia in the European Union marks a major milestone for PureCircle and the industry. The EU is the largest single market for sweeteners in the world. EU approval effectively increases the current addressable market for high purity stevia by more than 50%. We have been actively preparing with our customers and partners for the opening of the market with our broad portfolio of solutions. In partnership with sugar industry leaders, Nordzucker and Tereos, we have established a strong foundation of EU coverage. Consumers in Europe, as in the rest of the world, will soon be able to enjoy great tasting foods and beverages made with our no-calorie, natural ingredients."

      Merisant launches Pure Via following EU approval

      Rebecca Prescott14 Nov 2011

      The European Commission has approved the regulation of stevia extracts (steviol glycosides) for use as sweetener products and as food additives at an EU level. This approval means Merisant will have its stevia-​based tabletop sweetener Pure Via, available to UK consumers on of December 2.

      Pure Via will be distributed in powder, cube and stick formats, and will be available in most major retailers and specialty outlets in the UK covering 80% of food consumption in the UK.

      Following a £4m investment in Pure Via in the UK, Merisant aims for a leadership position in the UK market within its first year of launch, the company said.

      In France, since its Stevia-​based sweeteners launched, Merisant has gained an 80% share of the Stevia-​based sweetener market by value, with half of these consumers being new to the low-​calorie sweetener market.

      Stevia-​based sweeteners are already approved for use in other markets including the US, Japan, China, Australia and France where Merisant enjoys great success. The European market for sweeteners generates $500m and the European market for Stevia-​based sweeteners should reach an additional $100m next year.

      Hugues Pitre, Merisant vice president and MD, said: “Merisant is a global market leader in tabletop sweeteners and we have already secured a leading position in France through this new market.

      “Based on our rich heritage of research and expertise into perfecting the application of Stevia extracts into sweeteners and our £4m investment in the UK, we are very confident we will achieve similar success with Pure Via in the UK market in the upcoming months.”

      EU-Zulassung für Stevia - Neue Marktchancen für NP Sweet
      Heute gab die EU-Kommission grünes Licht für die Verwendung von Stevia (Steviosid) in Lebensmitteln und Getränken in der EU. Die entsprechende Verordnung wurde am 12. November 2011 veröffentlicht und wird am 2. Dezember in Kraft treten. Von diesem Zeitpunkt an wird NP Sweet mit dem Vertrieb von Stevia und Kombinationen aus Stevia und Zucker für die Lebensmittel- und Getränkeindustrie in der Europäischen Union beginnen.

      Im Laufe des letzten Jahres hat NP Sweet in enger Zusammenarbeit mit den Unternehmenspartnern der Lebensmittel- und Getränkeindustrie eine Reihe von Anwendungen entwickelt. NP Sweet kann dabei auf qualitativ hochwertiges Stevia von PureCircle sowie Nordzuckers Kompetenzen in den Bereichen Entwicklung, Marketing und Vertrieb zurückgreifen.

      Bei Stevia handelt es sich um ein kalorienfreies, auf natürlichen Grundstoffen basierendes Süßungsmittel, das 200 bis 400 Mal süßer als Zucker ist. In der Kombination mit Zucker ermöglicht es den Herstellern von Lebensmittelprodukten, sehr wohlschmeckende, aber gleichzeitig kalorienarme Nahrungsmittel und Getränke zu fertigen. NP Sweet wird die PureCircle-Linie der Steviaprodukte, aber auch eine eigene Reihe von Stevia-Zucker-Kombiprodukten unter dem Markennamen SteviaSucrose vertreiben.

      Lars Bo Jørgensen, General Manager NP Sweet A/S, erläutert: "Stevia besitzt für uns ein signifikantes Marktpotential. Die Kombination von PureCircle-Steviaprodukten mit unseren eigenen Kombiprodukten aus Zucker und Stevia wird uns zu einem starken Partner, insbesondere für die Hersteller von nicht alkoholischen Getränken und Milchprodukten, machen. Gerade unsere Kunden aus den Sektoren Getränke und Milch warten schon auf Steviaprodukte, denn sie erlauben es, den Energiegehalt der Produkte zu senken und trotzdem ausschließlich natürliche Süßungsmittel zu verwenden."

      Hintergrund: Der Nordzucker Konzern mit Hauptsitz in Braunschweig ist Europas zweitgrößter Zuckerhersteller und produziert darüber hinaus Bioethanol sowie Futtermittel aus Zuckerrüben. Europaweit bilden 18 Produktions- und Raffinationsstätten technisch, logistisch und geographisch ein Fundament für den weiteren Erfolgskurs. Etwa 3.500 Mitarbeiter engagieren sich konzernweit für exzellente Produkte und Services.

      Nach Zulassung durch die EU strebt Merisant mit der Einführung seines Stevia-basierten Süßstoffs Canderel Green(R) die Marktführerschaft in Europa an Autor: PR Newswire (dt.) | 16.11.2011, 09:00 | 83 Aufrufe | 0 |


      PARIS, November 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

      Am vergangenen Samstag stimmte die Europäische Kommission einer Verordnung zu, die die Verwendung von Stevia-Extrakten (Steviolglycosiden) als Süssstoff auf EU-Ebene regelt. Diese Zulassung ermöglicht es Merisant, einem Weltmarktführer im Tafelsüssstoff-Segment, seinen Stevia-basierten Tafelsüssstoff Canderel Green(R) auf dem europäischen Markt einzuführen, so dass das Produkt ab dem 2. Dezember 2011 für Verbraucher erhältlich sein wird.

      Canderel Green(R) wird dabei in verschiedenen Formaten vertrieben werden (als Pulver, in Tablettenform und als Portionssticks), um den Verbrauchern so ein breiteres Angebotsspektrum zu bieten; zudem wird es in den meisten grösseren Einzelhandels- und Fachgeschäften in Europa erhältlich sein und damit 80 % des Nahrungsmittelkonsums abdecken.

      Nach umfangreichen Investitionen in die europäischen Länder will Merisant innerhalb eines Jahres nach der Einführung die Marktführerschaft in Europa erobern. Der europäische Markt für Süssstoffe erwirtschaftet 500 Millionen $, und der europäische Markt für Stevia-basierte Süssstoffe soll im nächsten Jahr weitere 100 Millionen $ Umsatz generieren.

      Seit dem Marktstart der Stevia-basierten Süssstoffe von Merisant in Frankreich konnte das Unternehmen bei Stevia-basierten Süssstoffen bereits einen wertmässigen Marktanteil von 80 % erobern, wobei die Hälfte der Konsumenten zum ersten Mal kalorienarme Süssstoffe käuflich erworben hat.

      Stevia-basierte Süssstoffe sind bereits auf diversen Märkten zugelassen, darunter in den USA, Japan, China, Australien und Frankreich, wo Merisant grosse Erfolge verzeichnet.

      Die ursprünglich aus Paraguay und Brasilien stammende Stevia-Pflanze wird schon seit Jahrhunderten als Süssstoff verwendet. Stevia-Extrakte besitzen ein beträchtliches Potenzial als Bestandteil von Süssungsmitteln, da ihre natürliche Süsskraft bis zu 300 Mal stärker als die von Zucker ist, sie aber keinen Nährwert haben.

      Als kalorienarme Zuckeralternative natürlichen Ursprungs erleichtert Canderel Green(R) auf innovative Weise den süssen Genuss und kann so zu einer gesunden Ernährung und einem gesunden Lebensstil beitragen.

      Hugues Pitre, Vice-President und Managing Director EAME bei Merisant, erklärt hierzu: "Merisant ist ein Weltmarktführer im Tafelsüssstoff-Bereich. Auch auf dem neuen Markt Frankreich ist es uns bereits gelungen, eine führende Position zu erobern. Dank unserer traditionell starken Forschung und unserer umfangreichen Kompetenz ist es uns gelungen, die Verwendung von Stevia-Extrakten in Süssstoffen zu perfektionieren; ausserdem haben wir umfangreiche Investitionen in Europa getätigt. Deshalb sind wir zuversichtlich, dass wir mit Canderel Green(R) in den nächsten Monaten auf allen europäischen Märkten ähnliche Erfolge erzielen können."


      Informationen über Merisant

      Das im Jahr 2000 gegründete Unternehmen Merisant hat sich auf die Herstellung und den Vertrieb von Equal(R) und Canderel(R), den beliebtesten Tafelsüssstoffen der Welt, sowie von über einem Dutzend weiterer erhältlicher Formate spezialisiert. Aktuell ist der Konzern Eigentümer von 19 Marken in über 90 Ländern. Mehr als 500 inspirierte und motivierte Mitarbeiter mit vielfältigem Hintergrund arbeiten an Standorten auf der ganzen Welt, um den grossen Erfolg dieser gut etablierten Premiummarken auch in Zukunft weiter auszubauen.

      Merisant war von Anbeginn bestrebt, durch anhaltende weltweite Expansion die Messlatte höher zu legen, und zwar durch die Eroberung neuer Kundenbereiche durch neue Produkte und durch die Verbesserung der Produktivität durch technologische Fortschritte. Der Konzern ist bestrebt, Produkte zu entwickeln, die den speziellen Bedürfnissen der Verbraucher gerecht werden und ihnen dabei helfen, ihren Lebensstil tagtäglich zu verbessern.


      [1] Seit 2010 wurden in Frankreich mit Stevia-basierten Süssungsmitteln Umsätze in Höhe von 16 Millionen EUR generiert, was einem Anteil von 30 % des gesamten Süssstoffmittelmarkts entspricht. In Frankreich hat Merisant bereits die Produkte Canderel Green(R) und Pure Via(TM) auf den Markt gebracht. Seit der Einführung auf dem französischen Markt ist der Stevia-basierte Süssstoff Pure Via(TM) von Merisant mit 5 Millionen verkauften Produkten und Umsätzen in Höhe von 10 Millionen EUR die Nummer 1 auf dem Markt.

      EU: Merisant targets UK, Italy with stevia sweeteners

      By: Katie Smith | 16 November 2011
      Sweetener producer Merisant is targeting the UK and Italy, by launching stevia-based tabletop sweeteners Pure Via and Canderel Green across Europe.

      The company expects to attract new consumers to the category, expecially in the UK, Begium, the Netherlands and Italy where Merisant aims to be the market leader within a year of the launch.

      Merisant will launch Pure Via product in the UK, Belgium, Pure Via next month and in Italy, Misura Stevia will be available. Canderel Green will be introduced throughout the rest of Europe.

      Pure Via and Canderel Green, which were previously available in France.

      In order to gain market share, the sweeteners will be available in a variety of formats, and sold in the majority of retail and specialty outlets across Europe.

      "The European market for sweeteners generates US$500m and we predict that the European market for Stevia-based sweeteners should reach an additional $100m next year."

      Stevia, a natural, zero-calorie sweetener, received European Commission clearance for use in the EU's 27 member states on Monday (14 November).

      Products containing stevia have been on sale in France for two years, but suppliers had been waiting for the EU to approve the ingredient's use across the entire bloc.

      Pure Via and Canderel Green have gained an 80% share of the Stevia-based sweetener market, according to the company.

      "We are confident of similar success for Pure Via throughout the rest of Europe," it added.

      Hugues Pitre, vice-president and managing director for Merisant's operations in the Europe, Middle East and Africa, said it is "crucial" that the company promotes accurate and science-based information about stevia to its consumers.

      Since the EU approval, companies have started to launch stevia-based products. Yesterday, French sugar firm Tereos has formed a partnership with PureCircle to develop stevia products.

      Beghin Say Ligne sweetener adds PureCircle trust mark
      Rebecca Prescott23 Nov 2011

      Beghin Say, an international brand in sugar and sweeteners, has expanded its line of nutritional sugars in France with the launch of Beghin Say Ligne, sweetened with natural origin stevia extracts by PureCircle.

      The Beghin Say Ligne brand now carries the Stevia PureCircle trust mark.

      Beghin Say Ligne is the newest sweetener under the Beghin Say brand and the first sweetened with natural origin stevia extracts. It consists of a blend of sugar and stevia extracts by PureCircle that provide the same sweetness as Beghin Say’s other sugar products, but with less sugar and calories per portion, the company said.

      Jason Hecker, vice president global marketing and innovation for PureCircle, said: “Consumer demand for more natural, great tasting calorie reduction continues to grow around the world. Beghin Say Ligne is a great example of the benefits of bringing together two great sweeteners-​stevia and sugar to meet these consumer needs.”

      The trust mark is currently being licensed by leading brands in the EU, US, Latin America, Europe and Asia across more than 85 food and beverage products such as Silk Light soymilk, True Lemonade drink mix and Steviacane table top sweetener in the US, as well as Go Coco coconut water in Australia and 100% Stevia table top sweetener in Brazil.

      Merisant Launches Italy’s First Stevia Table Top Sweetener with Stevia PureCircle® Trust Mark29-Nov-2011

      Misura, Merisant’s major brand of low-calorie sweeteners expands its brand with the launch of Misura Stevia™, the first stevia-based table top sweetener in Italy. Misura Stevia™ will help to contribute to a healthier lifestyle for consumers and is sweetened with natural origin stevia extracts by PureCircle, carrying the Stevia PureCircle® trust mark.

      Along with the introduction of its stevia-based sweetener Misura Stevia™, Merisant is committed to promoting the educational work of the Global Stevia Institute in Italy and across Europe. The Global Stevia Instiute was founded by PureCircle to further credible, science-based information about stevia. Ahead of its launch, Misura Stevia™ was first introduced at the last Italian Association of Dietetics and Clincal Nutriton (ADI) congress as a natural sweetening option for people with diabetes. Stevia has no carbohydrates and zero glycemic load, and is safe for people with diabetes.

      “More than ever, consumers are seeking more natural, low calorie options and stevia presents an opportunity to fulfill these demands in the Italian market,” said Jason Hecker, Vice President Global Marketing & Innovation for PureCircle. “Misura Stevia™ expands Merisant’s successful brand with a natural, great tasting product that will help consumers achieve their healthy lifestyle goals.”

      Misura Stevia™ is another example of a product choosing to communicate the naturally sweet benefits of stevia extracts via the Stevia PureCircle® trust mark. The trust mark is currently being licensed by leading brands globally across more than 85 food and beverage products such as Pure Via™ and Canderel Green™ table top sweetener in France, or Silk Light soymilk True Lemonade drink mix in the US, as well as Go Coco coconut water in Australia. The trustmark serves as a symbol of quality and reliable sourcing for consumers and is supported by such activities as PureCircle’s We Grow Joy campaign (steviapurecircle.com) and the Global Stevia Institute (globalsteviainstitute.com).

      “Stevia helps us expand our Misura portfolio of low-calorie sweeteners for consumers that are looking for more natural sweetener options,” states Hugues Pitre, Vice President & Managing Director EAME, Merisant. “We are happy to carry the Stevia PureCircle® trust mark and support the vital work of the Global Stevia Institute, which in the new European market, will support consumer awareness about the benefits of high quality stevia and its great taste in Misura Stevia™.”

      Misura Stevia™ is the first natural origin sweetener under the historical low-calorie Misura brand by Merisant, a global leader in table top sweeteners. Its low-calorie and no-calorie table top sweeteners are sweetened with stevia extract by PureCircle, a great tasting, natural origin ingredient derived from the stevia plant. Misura Stevia™ will be available in sticks, jars, cubes and tablets at all major retail chains in Italy this December.

      Doehler Highlights Innovative Ingredients, Ingredient Systems & Integrated Solutions Date:05 Dec 2011

      Type:Food Ingredients News

      Source:Food Ingredients First

      Sector:General Company & Ingredient Information

      Summary:Under the MultiSweet Stevia brand Doehler has developed a sweetener with outstanding sensory properties. Sweetness Improving Technology (SIT) ensures an especially near-sugar taste.



      Dec 5 2011 --- No innovation without continuous evolution! This was the theme running through Doehler’s (Döhler’s) presentation of an integrated product portfolio at FIE in Paris (29.11.-1.12.2011). As a global producer, marketer and provider of natural ingredients, ingredient systems and integrated solutions for the food and beverage industry, Doehler understands this evolution to mean not just continuously refining its own products and technologies. Rather, this central theme describes the goal of constantly optimising products together with the customer and additionally opening up new market potential with innovations. The results of this development: natural solutions for sugar reduction – like SRT or MultiSweet Stevia – a broad portfolio of flavours and flavour extracts, natural colours, innovative solutions for 100% fruit, as well as alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage bases were showcased at the Doehler stand.

      Light – but as natural as possible – is the wish of many consumers when it comes to food and beverages. In this connection, “stevia” has recently been on everyone’s lips in the true sense of the phrase. Under the MultiSweet Stevia brand Doehler has developed a sweetener with outstanding sensory properties. Sweetness Improving Technology (SIT) ensures an especially near-sugar taste. For the claim “with no added sugar”, MultiSweet Stevia can be combined with MultiSweet Fruit, a range of partially decoloured or partially deacidified apple juice concentrates.

      A product’s appealing visual appearance ensures the initial purchase – its good taste a repeat purchase. For products with both a compelling look and taste, Doehler was presenting an array of natural colours and flavours in Paris. The portfolio for exceptional enjoyment ranges from high-quality fruit flavours and extracts, mint flavours and white flavours to new citrus emulsions. In addition, Doehler unveiled innovative flavour technologies for natural and sensorially optimal calorie reduction. Doehler was demonstrating its expertise in the field of food colours with colouring concentrates, natural colour formulations, anthocyanins and crystal-clear emulsions.

      Less sweet, but natural and authentic tea taste – this is what many consumers want when it comes to tea beverages. In association with Plantextrakt, Doehler is now offering a portfolio of directly brewed, strong tea infusions. And Doehler has designed the tea beverages to match. The concepts on the basis of the strong tea infusions range from brewed iced teas and premium brewed iced teas to true teas – the purest form of tea enjoyment.

      The demand for fresh fruit and fruit raw materials has risen globally in recent years. To enable its customers to enjoy reliable raw materials supply, Doehler is constantly developing new solution channels. These include, on the one hand, opening up new raw materials sources and fruit varieties. On the other, Doehler makes more of the fruit: with the aid of cutting-edge technologies all valuable fruit components are extracted down to the smallest detail and the very last drop. At FIE Doehler was presenting a broad product portfolio of fruit juices, fruit juice concentrates, purées and fruit juice blends alongside fruity product applications.

      In 2010 the market volume of malt beverages worldwide climbed to some 1.7 billion litres. To meet heightened demand for malt extracts and malt bases formulated to customer-specific needs, in the same year Doehler commissioned a further plant equipped with state-of-the-art technology, in Neuss, Germany. In addition to fresh product concepts Doehler was using FIE to showcase innovative malt bases. The product portfolio also permits breweries the cost-efficient production of malt beverages. Doehler opens up simple entry into this exciting beverage category to soft-drinks manufacturers.

      Whether limes, cream or fruit liqueurs, flavoured spirits or innovative ciders: Doehler provides the full range of ingredients and ingredient systems for these products from one source. At FIE the DoehlerGroup was presenting alcohol-stable milk and cream bases, alcoholic cider and fruit wine bases, as well as alcohol-stable fruit juice concentrates, purées and flavours. This portfolio gives Doehler customers undreamed-of flexibility in the development and production of alcohol-containing beverages.

      Alongside these products and product applications, Doehler was also unveiling a host of other innovations for the beverage and food industry at FIE in Paris

      MERISANT LAUNCHES ITALY’S FIRST STEVIA TABLE TOP SWEETNER

      December 9th, 2011
      Misura, Merisant’s major brand of low-calorie sweeteners is expanding its brand with the launch of Misura Stevia, the first stevia-based table top sweetener in Italy.

      Misura Stevia claims to help contribute to a healthier lifestyle for consumers and is sweetened with natural origin stevia extracts by PureCircle, carrying the Stevia PureCircle® trust mark.

      Along with the introduction of its stevia-based sweetener Misura Stevia, Merisant is committed to promoting the educational work of the Global Stevia Institute in Italy and across Europe.

      The Global Stevia Instiute was founded by PureCircle to further credible, science-based information about stevia.


      Misura Stevia is the first stevia-based table top sweetener in Italy
      Ahead of its launch, Misura Stevia was first introduced at the last Italian Association of Dietetics and Clincal Nutriton (ADI) congress as a natural sweetening option for people with diabetes.

      Stevia has no carbohydrates and zero glycemic load, and is safe for people with diabetes.

      Jason Hecker, Vice President Global Marketing & Innovation for PureCircle said:

      “More than ever, consumers are seeking more natural, low calorie options and stevia presents an opportunity to fulfill these demands in the Italian market.

      “Misura Stevia™ expands Merisant’s successful brand with a natural, great tasting product that will help consumers achieve their healthy lifestyle goals.”

      Misura Stevia is another example of a product choosing to communicate the naturally sweet benefits of stevia extracts via the Stevia PureCircle® trust mark.

      The trust mark is currently being licensed by leading brands globally across more than 85 food and beverage products such as Pure Via™ and Canderel Green™ table top sweetener in France, or Silk Light soymilk True Lemonade drink mix in the US, as well as Go Coco coconut water in Australia.

      Hugues Pitre, Vice President & Managing Director EAME, Merisant, said:

      “Stevia helps us expand our Misura portfolio of low-calorie sweeteners for consumers that are looking for more natural sweetener options.

      “We are happy to carry the Stevia PureCircle® trust mark and support the vital work of the Global Stevia Institute, which in the new European market, will support consumer awareness about the benefits of high quality stevia and its great taste in Misura Stevia.”

      Misura Stevia is the first natural origin sweetener under the historical low-calorie Misura brand by Merisant, a global leader in table top sweeteners.

      Its low-calorie and no-calorie table top sweeteners are sweetened with stevia extract by PureCircle, a great tasting, natural origin ingredient derived from the stevia plant.

      Misura Stevia will be available in sticks, jars, cubes and tablets at all major retail chains in Italy this December.

      richtig, wenn man sich eine Aktie wie Südzucker anschaut, welche bei ca 20 euro notiert.... in 10 Jahren wird Purecircle in etwa gleich notieren, schätze ich.

      Das problem bei Stevia ist im Moment, dass es erst in ausgewählten Läden (sehr teuer durch geringe Kaufmengen) zu kaufen gibt. Sobald es in namhaften Supermärkten zu kaufen ist und von einen der 1000 Kochshows und Kochprofis verwendet wird, schaut das ganze schon anders aus....

      Der boom in den nächsten Jahren wird größtenteils nur in der EU stattfinden, da diese viel ernährungsbewusster sind als andere Nationen

      Lipton Ice Tea Green mit Stevia gesüßt

      PepsiCo hat auf die durch die EU unlängst erfolgte Zulassung des Süßungsmittels Stevia reagiert und bringt im Januar einen neuen kalorienreduzierten Eistee auf den Markt: Lipton Ice Tea Green, gesüßt mit Stevia. PepsiCo setzt damit weiter auf das Konzept „Voller Geschmack – weniger Kalorien“, das der Marktforschung zufolge auf eine sehr hohe Verbraucherakzeptanz trifft.

      Das kalorienreduzierte Portfolio von Lipton Ice Tea wird ab April 2012 mit TV-Werbung und Verkostungsaktionen unterstützt. Innovationen treiben das Wachstum der Getränkehersteller. Mit neuen Kreationen lassen sich neue Zielgruppen gewinnen. So wächst im Bereich Eistee das Light-Segment um 5 %, getrieben durch den Marktführer Lipton Ice Tea No Sugar (+73 %; Volumen 2011), während der Gesamtmarkt stagniert.

      Wieso ist in Asien und Lateinamerika, wo Stevia zum allätglichen Verzehr zugelassen und genutzt wird, die Bevölkerung gesünder (schlanker) und hat eine höhere Geburtenrate.
      Naja in Europa wird durch Überzuckerung und Fettsucht das Gegenteil bewirkt. Woran liegt das wohl, bestimmt nicht am aktiven Libido.;)

      REG - PureCircle Limited - Quarterly Stevia Market Update
      * Reuters is not responsible for the content in this press release.
      Fri Dec 16, 2011 2:00am EST


      RNS Number : 1046U
      PureCircle Limited
      16 December 2011

      

      PURECIRCLE LTD

      ("PureCircle" or the "Company")

      QUARTERLY STEVIA MARKET UPDATE


      PureCircle (LSE: PURE), the world's leading supplier and marketer of high purity stevia products, provides an update on the global high purity stevia market covering the quarter to 30 September 2011.

      US and Global Consumption Estimates

      · Based on Nielsen USA consumer retail sales for the quarter to 30 September 2011 and internal PureCircle data, the Company estimates annualized USA consumer usage of 260 tonnes high purity stevia. This represents a +52% increase from the annualized consumption for the quarter to 30 September 2010.



      · In the US, the high purity industrial sales volumes translate to consumer retail consumption of an estimated $1.34bn in annualized Food and Beverage products sweetened with stevia. This compares to $995m of annualized consumer retail sales in the quarter to 30 September 2010.



      · Analysis of the ingredient usage by non-table top food and beverage companies indicates that PureCircle is direct or indirect supplier to 87% of the products by volume and 84% by value.



      · As a result, estimated annual global consumer usage, including retailer store and distributor inventory, is approximately 400 tonnes in Reb A sweetness equivalent volume. Note that this volume is currently driven primarily by the United States, Mexico, France and Australia. It does not yet include the newly opened European market or significant development of the carbonated soft drink market.



      · PureCircle internal data further indicates that market adoption of ingredients has quickly diversified beyond only Reb A. PureCircle's SG 95 is experiencing increasingly greater brand adoption in new launches and reformulations. Further, PureCircle's flavors, NSF-01, and NSF-02, have already been adopted by several leading $1bn+ brands.



      The global market analysis of current high purity stevia consumption is based on estimates derived from current Nielsen and internal PureCircle data from the US market and extrapolated to the global market, for the quarter ending 30 September 2011. The analysis captures historical market development and is not a forecast of future market growth. Note that all figures are captured in "Reb A Sweetness equivalents" to standardize reporting measures. Though, significant development is noted below in the growth of PureCircle's new sweetener and flavor ingredients, including SG 95 and NSF-02.



      Market Drivers of Growth

      · The market is experiencing growth across all key categories. Assessing data from categories that saw launches at least one year ago, it is clear that there is strong repeat purchase and growth in usage. Examples from US Nielsen data include:



      o Juices: The category has reached nearly $270m in estimated annualized sales, up +25% over the prior quarter and +87% on the quarter to 30 September 2010, largely driven by growth of Trop50 and new launches.



      o Flavored Waters: The category has reached $580m in estimated annualized sales, up $30m over the prior quarter to 30 June 2011, driven by strong growth in Sobe Lifewater and Vitamin Water Zero.



      o RTD Tea: The category has grown to $35m in estimated annualized sales, up +65% over the prior quarter, driven by the growth of Lipton 100% Natural.



      o Sugar Substitutes: The US table top market annualized retail sales are +45% over the quarter to 30 June 2010, reaching $97m.



      · Globally, there is a broadening of category usage, with new launches seen within the last quarter in the following categories: Flavored Water, Fruit Flavored Drinks, RTD Tea, Alcoholic beverages, Juice, Yogurt, Powdered Drink Mix, Baked Goods, Energy Drinks, Smoothies, Cereal Bars, and niche Carbonated Soft Drinks.



      · According to Datamonitor, 300+ products sweetened with high purity stevia launched in the US and 630 around the world in the 12 months to 30 September 2011. Note that these launches have been primarily driven by markets including the United States, Mexico, France and Australia.




      Regulatory Approvals

      · The EU Commission has given regulatory approval for the use of steviol glycosides as a sweetener in foods and beverages in the European Union. The regulation permitting the sale and use of steviol glycosides has now been published in the Official Journal of the European Union as of November 12th and came into force, allowing for sale of products formulated with steviol glycosides as of December 2nd. This approval opens a new market for stevia in which annual sweetener consumption is equal to over 125,000 tonnes of high purity stevia.



      Consumer Developments

      Recent studies in France, the UK, and Spain indicate the following key developments:

      · France: Consumer aided stevia awareness has now reached 47% across the general population (July 2011), up from 23% one year earlier (July 2011).



      · UK: Awareness of stevia is low but among those aware, stevia is viewed positively relative to other sweetening options.

      · Spain: Stevia compares favorably to sugar on key ingredient attributes including being good for a healthy lifestyle.





      Commenting on the stevia market update, Magomet Malsogav, CEO PureCircle Limited said "The sustained growth of the stevia market speaks to its mainstream potential and success in delivering naturally lower calorie solutions that consumers demand. PureCircle continues to drive this growth with new innovative solutions. We anticipate continued market growth to come with the opening of new markets, and launch of larger brands and supported by the introductions of new innovative stevia ingredients from PureCircle, such as PureCircle Alpha and Natural Flavor NSF-02."

      Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 42.493.772 von Straßenkoeter am 16.12.11 22:45:25Stimmt. Jedenfalls denke ich hast Du Dich auf die eine Studie bezogen, welche verminderte (ich glaube es waren) Sauerstoffbläschen im Sperma von Ratten nachwies. Dadurch hatten die Ratten verminderte Zeugungsfähigkeit. Was aber dazu gesagt werden muss, ist, dass die Ratten dermaßen viel Stevia fressen mussten, dass dies bei einem normal gewichtigen Europäer ca. 35 kg (!) Stevia entsprechen würde, die man zu sich nehmen müsste, um ähnliche Effekte zu erzielen.

      Nun frage ich mich, wie Du schon so schön schreibst, wie es uns gehen würde, wenn wir 35 kg Zucker täglich essen würden. Es ist wie immer mit den Menschen: die Mischung bzw. die Menge machts. Der goldene Mittelweg ist wie immer gefragt. Schließlich ist ja selbst viel zu viel Wasser und kein Essen dazu schädlich...

      So, habe mir heute im Real-Markt ein Spender mit 100 Stk. zum süßen von Kaffee etc. gekauft. In schönem grellen Grün, unter dem Motto „Neu“, strahlte mir das entgegen für 2,99 €. Preis kann ich nicht beurteilen, da ich mir schon seit über 10 Jahren jeglichen Zucker oder chem. Süßstoff abgewöhnt habe im Kaffee. Hersteller ist die Merisant-Company und PureCircle ist ebenfalls mit hinten aufgedruckt. Na dann, auf zu meinen wieder gesüßten sächsischen Kaffee.

      Das Einzige was ich bisher an Steva-Produkten ausmachen konnte, war der Stevia-Joghurt von Adechser (aber freilich ohne Pure)...

      Der Stevia-Süßstoff steht mit bei den Zuckerprodukten und der sonstigen Zuckerchemie. Die „Canderel“ Produkte von Mersisant sind in rot gehalten und der Stevia-Spender in grün mit roten Canderal – Logo in der Mitte und Stevia unten drunter geschrieben. Auf der Verpackung steht hinten Pure-Circle daruf, aber auf dem Spender selbst nicht. Aber egal.

      Im Real wurde das nächste Produkt ins Regal gestellt. Und zwar Streusüße. Inhalt 40g zum süßen von Heißgetränke, Koch- und Backrezepten. Ebenfalls wieder wie von mir beschriebene der Spender in grünem Design von der Fa. Merisant und hinten auf der aufgedruckten Folie mit dem Stevia-Logo von PureCircle. Preis ebenfalls 2,99€.

      Schon gekostet, schmeckt wie Puderzucker. Angaben dazu: 1 Teelöffel 2kcal, zum Vergleich dazu aufgedruckt ein Löffel Zucker 20kcal. Schöner Hinweis/Vergleich auf der grünen Verpackung.

      Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 42.580.639 von Saxonias am 11.01.12 19:26:37Die Streusuesse habe ich Dank Deines grossartigen Hinweises heute auch gefunden!! Vielen herzlichen Dank nochmals fuer den Tipp!!!

      Das vorher von Dir beschriebene Produkt gab es bei mir im Real in Muenchen noch nicht - nur die Streusuesse eben.

      Ich habe ja nun schon so einiges an Steviaprodukten probiert, aber Purecircle schlaegt bisher alles. Es besitzt eine angenehme Suesse und Konsistenz, schmeckt viel weniger nach Lakritz bzw. dem bekannten kristallinen Geschmack. Auch wenn man es pur auf der Fingerkuppe probiert. Ich bin vollauf zufrieden!

      Interessant auch, dass Merisant nun direkt in den deutschen Markt tritt. Ich dachte immer, das sollte ueber Nordzucker geschehen? Canderel als Marke kennt doch in Deutschland gar keiner - oder etwa doch??

      Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 42.581.266 von MasterD2000 am 11.01.12 21:01:24Im Übrigen löst sich die Streusüße sehr gut in Flüssigkeit auf - viel besser als manch andere Produkte. Man findet eben doch einige Punkte, in denen sich PC Stevia von anderen unterscheidet.

      Zugegebenermaßen ist das einzige Konkurrenzprodukt, das mithalten kann/konnte OnlySweet von Sunwin, aber das bekommt man ja hier eh nicht und auch bei den Amis kaum noch.

      Was auch auffällt, ist, dass PC Stevia nicht so streng riecht beim öffnen der Box. Dort kamen einem schon leicht abstoßende Gerücje entgegen, die wahrscheinlich vom Erythritol herrühren.

      Ach herrlich - wie schön ist es, die Inhaltsstoffe zu lesen und weit und breit keine Spur von Aspartam, Natriumcyclamat oder Acesulfam zu lesen!!!! :cool:

      Aber hatten wir nicht vor kurzem gelesen, dass auch Truvia von Purecircle kommt?? Langsam wirds mir echt zu undurchsichtig...

      Wie gesagt, wahrscheinlich lags bei Truvia am Erythritol.

      Also ich hab mir jetzt mal aus Frankreich ein Steviaprodukt (Streusüße, ähnlich der von Canderel Green) mitbringen lassen. Es heißt Glucoregul und ist m. E. kein Vergleich zu Canderel Green. Die Konsistenz ist sehr pulverartig und es löst sich auch kaum auf, wenn man es von oben ins Getränk gibt. Canderel Green ist da entschieden besser.
      Auch vom Geschmack - das franz. Produkt sieht schon viel weißer und irgendwie ungesünder aus und es schmeckt auch viel kristalliner, also dieser für Stevia doch recht eigene, süß-saure bzw. undefinierbare Geschmack.
      Von daher gehen die Aussagen schon in die richtige Richtung, nämlich dass es sehr wohl um die richtigen Patente bzw. Extraktionsverfahren geht, die soweit wie möglich die unerwünschten Geschmäcker draußen lassen.

      Mich würde in diesem Zusammenhang mal interessieren, wie denn das Nevella so schmeckt. Das wird im Edeka, Rewe und Tengelmann verkauft und stammt von der Firma Heartland Sweeteners. Leider finde ich über diese Firma und noch wichtiger über deren Lieferanten absolut nichts heraus. Weiß da einer mehr?

      UK: Merisant starts Pure Via sweetener ad push
      By: Dean Best | 20 January 2012
      Sweetener firm Merisant has kicked off an advertising campaign for its stevia-based product Pure Via in the UK.

      The US group is spending GBP4m (US$6.2m) on marketing Pure Via in the UK and has lined up TV, print and digital campaigns.

      Pure Via was launched in the UK last month and Merisant is aiming for "a leadership position" in the country after a year of the product being on sale.

      Merisant UK marketing manager Odile Marriott said: "As a natural-origin, low-calorie alternative to sugar, we believe Pure Via will have a significant effect on the health of UK consumers, and therefore we have invested substantially in its launch and marketing campaign in the UK."

      Earlier this month, Cargill started its GBP5m advertising push behind its own stevia sweetener Truvia.

      Sweetener makers are targeting European consumers after the EU said in November that stevia, a natural zero-calorie sweetener, could be used in food and drink products.

      Products containing stevia have been on sale in France for two years, but suppliers had been waiting for the EU to approve the ingredient's use across the entire bloc.

      Merisant claims that Pure Via is the number one stevia sweetener in France, with sales close to EUR10m (US$12.9m).

      Hallo zusammen,

      hat jemand auch davon gehört, dass Reb A bald gentechnisch hergestellt werden könnte, und damit praktisch der Stevia anbau hinfällig wäre? War natürlich nicht gut für PC...

      Aber zumindest in Europa denke ich wird es mti der Gentechnik evtl. nicht so einfach gehen das im Markt zu etablieren.

      Würde mich über Meinungen freuen.

      Pure Via Adds Stevia PureCircle Trust Mark

      Date:27 Jan 2012


      Jan 27 2012 --- Pure Via, the leading stevia extract table top sweetener from Merisant, will now communicate the benefits of stevia via the Stevia PureCircle trust mark. The product was already sweetened with stevia extract by PureCircle, a great tasting, natural origin sweetening ingredient derived from the stevia plant. Pure Via achieved tremendous growth and the number one position in the French market, where stevia was approved two-years prior to the recent pan-European approval.

      Pure Via is made with natural origin stevia by PureCircle and was especially developed to suit European tastes. To create Pure Via, no calorie, high purity stevia by PureCircle was blended with other ingredients of natural origin for a great tasting, no-calorie sweetness. Pure Via complements Merisant’s portfolio of successful sweeteners, including the global Canderel and Equal brands.

      “Consumers continue to seek healthier, more natural options” said Jason Hecker, Vice President, Global Marketing and Innovation, PureCircle Limited. “Merisant’s Pure Via suits this demand, by giving consumers great tasting, natural origin sweetness they can trust while helping them reduce calories in their favourite foods and beverages.”

      Pure Via now joins over 100 other food and beverage products around the world that are licensing the Stevia PureCircle trust mark. The trust mark serves as a symbol of the highest quality and sustainable sourcing for consumers and is supported by such activities as PureCircle’s We Grow Joy consumer campaign (steviapurecircle.com) and the Global Stevia Institute (globalsteviainstitute.com), a leading resource for credible, science-based stevia information established by PureCircle. Merisant has also committed to support the Global Stevia Institute’s education initiatives across Europe.

      “Pure Via’s success since coming to market can be attributed to the consumer appeal of stevia extract as a sweetening ingredient,” said Hugues Pitre, Merisant Vice-President & Managing Director EAME. “Communicating this benefit and the ingredient’s trusted source to consumers is essential as the new pan-European market for stevia products grows, so we are pleased to carry the Stevia PureCircle trust mark on our product.”

      Pure Via is nationally distributed in France and supported by a national marketing campaign. The brand is available on retail shelves in sticks, cubes and a family-size 80g box that now carry the Stevia PureCircle trust mark.

      Vor ca. 1 1/2 Jahren verbreitete der "Aktionär" ziemlich euphorisch einen Artikel zum Thema Stevia. Darin hieß es, man könne damit rechnen, daß sich der Steviaumsatz in den nächsten Jahren verzwanzigfachen werde. Der Kurs von Pure Circle stand damals bei ca. 3,50 Euronen . . . Würde mal sagen, da ist noch reichlich Luft nach oben . . . ! ! !

      hast du dir schon mal die Prognosen für verkauf von Purecircle angesehen?? 2012 wird der durchbruch für Stevia.... siehst du ja schon am Europäischen Markt, dass fast wöchentlich neue Produktlinien auf den Markt kommen und die Leute ihren starken Zuckerkonsum einschränken wollen und das haben mittlerweile auch Unternehmen wie Coca Cola und co verstanden...

      wenn die ersten Umsatzzahlen veröffentlicht werden, dann wird der Kurs stark gegen Norden getrieben vermute ich und diese ständigen Käufe aus dem ASK sind schon ein erstes Anzeichen dafür, dass wir bald wieder die 3 Euro Marke erreichen werden.... (mittelfristig) und wo es dann hin geht kann keiner von uns sagen (Zuckeraktien notieren um die 30 Euro) also ist noch genug Luft nach oben du musst nur ein bisschen Gedult mitbringen

      Möchte Euch nur ein bißchen den Rücken stärken, arbeite in einer Nahrungsergänzungsfirma im Direktvertrieb. Unsere Firma hat schon fünf unserer Produkte auf Stevia, statt wie vorher, Frucht - oder Traubenzucker, umgestellt. Die meisten unsere Kunden sind begeistert und bevorzugen teilweise bewusster die Steviaprodukte. Ich habe mir seit ich erfahren habe, dass Stevia in Deutschland zugelassen wird, ein paar Aktien zugelegt, da ich wusste, dass unsere Firma schon Produkte mit Stevia in der Schublade hatte und ich weiß dass weitere folgen. Jeden Tag sehe ich wie gut Stevia angenommen wird. Die Firma hat als aller erstes unser "Fitness-Produkt" (Fitness-Drink und das "Kinderprodukt" (Powercocktail Junior) auf Stevia umgestellt. Den Kindern schmeckt es jetzt besser, als der Vorgänger mit herkömmlichen Süße. Das finde ich schon sehr beeindruckend. Es wurde solange herumgebastelt, bis es vom Geschmack optimal getroffen wurde. Schließlich sind Sportler und Kinder sehr kritische Kunden und das Ergebniss----- es schmeckt und vor allem----es wird GEKAUFT!!!!! Das zu Sehen ist einfach GENIAL. Also Geduld, wir Menschen brauchen eine Weile bis "NEUES" angenommen wird.

      PureCircle Alpha leads industry into next generation of stevia
      March 15, 2012

      PureCircle, the world’s leading producer and marketer of high purity stevia ingredients, announces it has increased production of its new breakthrough ingredient, PureCircle Alpha, in response to market demand. PureCircle Alpha is a proprietary combination of steviol glycosides, with a clean, sugar-like taste capable of achieving deeper calorie reductions in foods and beverages. The ingredient was officially launched in September 2011.

      “Early on, PureCircle was the pioneer of broad scale Reb A production and we are still the largest producer in the world. But we have learned that Reb A is not the right solution for all product applications. Our search for a better performing stevia sweetener led us to PureCircle Alpha, which has unquestionably become the next generation of stevia beyond Reb A. It was conceived from our deep knowledge of stevia from leaf through final production,” explains Jason Hecker, VP Global Marketing & Innovation, PureCircle Limited.

      PureCircle’s customers seem to agree. The first products sweetened with the new ingredient are expected on shelves by June, just nine months after introduction—a testament to the difference PureCircle Alpha is making in product formulations.

      In preparation for its introduction, the company’s Global Technical Center developed dozens of ready-to-go formulations across food and beverage categories, including carbonated soft drinks, tea and dairy products. Rigorous testing and sensory evaluation have shown an improved taste and sweetness profile compared with other stevia ingredients.

      “We are greatly pleased with the market’s early response to PureCircle Alpha,” adds Hecker. “Our focus on innovation has enabled us to rapidly bring new and exciting natural solutions to our customers – first Reb A, then SG95 and PureCircle Flavors. Continuous innovation provides our customers with the confidence that PureCircle is helping them bring the very best food and beverages to the market and confirms that stevia derived sweeteners are on their way to become a mass mainstream solution.”

      Interim results for the six months ended 31 December 2011



      PureCircle (LSE: PURE) the world's largest producer and marketer of high purity stevia today announces its unaudited interim results for the six month period from 1 July 2011 to 31 December 2011 ("H1 FY 2012").



      The unaudited financial statements comprising profit and loss account and cashflow for the six months to 31 December 2011 and the balance sheet at 31 December 2011 are set out in page 5 to 21 to this announcement, together with unaudited profit and loss and cashflow comparatives for the six months to 31 December 2010 ("H1 FY 2011") and the audited balance sheet at 30 June 2011.

      *EBITDA and exceptional cost information is set out in the segmental analysis in note 8



      Sales: H1 FY 12 sales of $15.2m were in line with expectations and $1.6m (11%) higher than prior year. As expected there were no sales to the Company's Global Beverage Key Accounts (GBKA's) in H1, as they continue to use existing inventories. All our new products Natural Flavors and new natural sweeteners launched in Calendar Year 2011 (CY 2011) performed strongly and together contributed $6m (39%) of the total sales.



      Sales breakdown:

      Gross Profit: H1 FY12 gross profit of $1.7m is $0.8m (88%) ahead of H1 FY 11. This reflects diversification and mix of sales with new products and improved variable contributions. However absolute gross profit margin % is below the Group's long term business model due to low production capacity utilization.



      Exceptional costs: As was previously announced, having successfully scaled production across CY 2009 and CY 2010, since January 2011 the Group has temporarily slowed down production of Reb A until inventories are better aligned with market demand. As a result in H1 FY 12 the Group has charged $6.3m net of production overhead and related costs to profit that would ordinarily have been charged to inventory production.



      Inventories: inventories reduced $9m from 30 June 2011 and at $87m are now $26m (23%) lower than their peak at 31 December 2010. Management expects them to reduce further across the next twelve months.



      Cash and net debt: The Group ended H1 FY 12 with gross cash of $27m and net debt of $71m. Net debt is the same as at 30 June 2011 and $6m lower than at 31 December 2010 ($77m), confirming that the Group has been a net cash generator across CY 2011, despite the exceptional costs. At 31 December 2011 the Group had $60m of cash and facility headroom (31 December 2010: $50m) and is adequately funded to meet all its current plans.



      Balance sheet: the Group's balance sheet reflects fully invested production capacity that can support volumes equivalent to more than $250m sales.



      BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTS



      Supply Chain: Although we reduced Reb A production temporarily, our supply chain has been busy with new products. Our production teams have been successful in scaling production of these new products. Our leaf growing regions both in Kenya and Paraguay are progressing well. The supply chain is robust and in place to support sales in excess of $250m as the market matures.



      Regulatory: the EU market secured regulatory clearance in December 2011 thereby opening up the world's largest sweetener market to high purity stevia. Continued regulatory progress in other regions means that all principal markets in the world are expected to be open by the end of CY 2012.



      Market adoption: the number of Food and Beverage products and the range of product categories using high purity stevia as a sweetening ingredient or flavor continue to increase in all markets. This includes the important Carbonated Soft Drink (CSD) market where we have seen major CSD household brands beginning to adopt stevia as their sweetening option worldwide. As expected, early launches in the EU since approval are more numerous and cover more companies than was seen when the USA market first opened.



      Consumer demand: Nielsen and other market data shows consumption of high purity stevia based products increasing in all categories. Higher demand is backed up by strong growth in awareness of stevia in all major markets. In France for example awareness has increased 20% across the last twelve months.



      PureCircle product portfolio: during CY 2011 PureCircle launched a range of new products designed in close consultation with clients and meeting specific market needs, both as natural sweeteners and flavors. Each of the products has been well received, particularly the natural flavors that have been adopted into two billion dollar brands in USA within six months of the launch. Taken together they provide our customers with a flexible formulation tool kit across major price and calorie reduction points. For PureCircle they will provide a well balanced revenue portfolio going forward.



      Application support: we continue to expand our application support capabilities through our Oak Brook, Illinois Application Center. Our uniquely deep knowledge of formulating with high purity stevia is being recognized increasingly in the market with more and more customers now working actively on projects with our application specialists.



      Everything Stevia: our inaugural Everything Stevia conference was held in London in November and attracted more than a hundred delegates from major EMEA Food and Beverage companies. Everything Stevia is now being rolled out across Europe with events already held in Spain and Italy and more planned.



      Customer base: we continue to secure more customers and to build repeat business. Most customers are still at relatively early development stages. But, data shows underlying demand building steadily as customers' launches expand. Excluding the BGKAs, we estimate that we are working on two to three times as many projects today as a year ago and that our regular order levels are almost five times those of two years ago.



      Beverage Global Key Accounts (BGKAs): we have highlighted previously that the BGKAs will be the largest long term users of high purity stevia but that whilst they work through their existing stevia inventories, their current demand will be low. This has been the case in H1 FY 12. Whilst their existing product usage is growing particularly with high purity stevia now being adopted into major CSD brands and whilst we expect to see a series of new launches in CY 12, in the EU, Asia and Latin America, we do not expect any significant BGKA demand in FY12. We believe significant BGKA demand will now only kick in from CY 2013 and CY 2014.



      Joint Ventures: activity levels in both our Joint Ventures (JVs) with Tereos (TPCS) and Nordzucker (NPS) have accelerated sharply with the opening of the EU. Both have rapidly expanding project pipelines and a growing list of customer launches across many EU countries. Our USA JV, NSV, is working to develop both a retail Table-top offer and an industrial B2B business. The JVs will make an initial sales contribution in FY 12, but reflecting the project roll-out timings, it will be FY 13 and FY 14 before their sales are material.



      Partners: PureCircle has a first class suite of flavor, formulation and distribution partners, including Firmenich, Dohler and Prinova. Across H1 FY 12 all our partners have seen sharp increases in project activity and growing customer demand pipelines. As these roll-out they will provide strong additional sales, but it is expected to be FY 13 and FY 14 before these are material.



      Outlook:



      With the opening of the important EU market and continued growth in usage across all regions and Food and Beverage categories including major CSD brands we remain confident of the long term future of high purity stevia. The success of our expanded product portfolio and our continued customer acquisition supports our confidence in PureCircle's leading role in that future.



      We do not however expect to see rapid sales growth until CY 2013 and CY 2014 when the combination of EU approval, the launches of major stevia sweetened CSDs and the unwinding of BGKA's inventories take fuller effect.



      Our business model is sensitive to sales volumes. Whilst sales remain modest relative to our supply chain capacity, our margins too will remain substantially below those of our long term business model.



      Looking at FY12, we expect H2 to show much stronger revenues than H1. However with BGKA demand tracking later than expected this is likely to impact FY 13 and FY 14 revenues not FY 12. Accordingly our sales guidance for H2 FY12 is in the range of $30m to $50m.



      Paul Selway-Swift Magomet Malsagov

      Chairman Chief Executive



      "CY 2011 has been a challenging year with PureCircle sales not reflecting the underlying strong growth in the global high purity stevia market, which accelerated further in December 2011 with the opening of the important EU market. We have a highly scaled business that leaves our results sensitive to sales volumes.

      Across CY 2011 we have seen continued progress of high purity stevia becoming a natural sweetener of choice across more categories, companies and countries. CY 2011 has also seen the early but strong market adoption of our proprietary natural flavor products.

      CY 2012 has started well with early evidence of the adoption of high purity stevia by the important carbonated soft drink (CSD) category.

      As we mentioned in our Outlook, we remain confident of the long term future of high purity stevia and of our business. But it will be CY 2013 and CY 2014 before the strong sales growth is apparent."

      hab die Aktie auf meiner Watchlist, wollte aber nach dem ca. 50%igen Anstieg seit Ende März eine kleine Korrektur abwarten, bis ich eine erste Position aufbaue. der Anstieg ging mir fast ein wenig zu schnell, aber man sieht, dass da schönes Potential (auch charttechnisch) nach oben vorhanden ist.

      wie seht ihr die weitere Entwicklung?

      Nach meinen eigenen Beobachtungen im Real-Markt, dass die Produkte von Merisant - Canderel-Green (in Form von Streusüße und Süßtabletten für Kaffee etc.) die Leute kaufen, gut. Ich selber musste schon Kollegen die Produkte besorgen, da diese nicht in allen Märkten zu haben sind.

      Döhler MultiSweet® Stevia

      Sensorisch überzeugende Stevia-Lösungen durch die „Sweetness Improving Technology“

      Nach der EU-weiten Zulassung des natürlichen Süßstoffs Stevia können Lebensmittel- und Getränkehersteller nun kalorienreduzierte Produkte ohne künstliche Süßstoffe herstellen. Die Döhler GmbH aus Darmstadt hat jetzt unter der Marke MultiSweet® Stevia ein natürliches Süßungssystem für Produkte mit besonders ausgewogenem Geschmacksprofil entwickelt.

      Der Startschuss ist gefallen! Stevia ist nun auch in der EU zugelassen – das bedeutet, dass ab sofort Stevia gesüßte Produkte auf den Markt gebracht werden können. Dies ermöglicht der Lebensmittel- und Getränkeindustrie erstmals die Entwicklung von kalorienreduzierten Getränken, ohne Einsatz von künstlichen Süßstoffen. Als führender Hersteller, Vermarkter und Anbieter technologie-basierter Ingredients, Ingredient Systems und integrierter Lösungen für die Getränke- und Lebensmittelindustrie ist Döhler bestens gewappnet. Die Unternehmensgruppe mit Hauptsitz in Darmstadt hat unter der Marke MultiSweet® Stevia ein natürliches Süßungssystem für Produkte mit besonders ausgewogenem Geschmacksprofil entwickelt. MultiSweet® Stevia ermöglicht, produktabhängig, 5-6 Brix Zucker zu reduzieren. Die hochentwickelte Aromentechnologie „Sweetness Improving Technology“ (SIT) verbessert signifikant die sensorischen Eigenschaften von Stevia. Durch die Kooperation mit PureCircle, dem weltweit führenden Hersteller und Vermarkter von natürlichen Stevia-Süßungen, hat Döhler Zugriff auf Stevia-Rohwaren mit höchstem Reinheitsgrad und in stets gleichbleibender Qualität.

      Döhler hat für alle relevanten Getränke- und Milchkategorien mit MultiSweet® Stevia gesüßte Produkte entwickelt. Die Bandbreite reicht von karbonisierten Soft Drinks, Still Drinks, Sportgetränken, Teegetränken, Nektaren, Biermix, Sirupen bis hin zu Milch & Frucht, Milch-Mischgetränken, Molkegetränken, Trinkjoghurts, löffelbaren Joghurts und Desserts. „Gerade hier liegt der Vorteil von Döhler. Dank der langjährigen Erfahrung im Bereich Applikation und durch ein umfassendes Ingredient Portfolio wissen wir, wie die einzelnen Komponenten eines Produktes miteinander reagieren. Dies ist ein wesentlicher Schlüssel, um sensorisch überzeugende Getränke und Lebensmittel zu entwickeln. Auf den diesjährigen Messen FIE und Anuga kamen unsere Getränkeapplikationen mit MultiSweet® Stevia daher sehr gut beim Fachpublikum an,“ sagt Harald Krug, (Head of Product Management, Tea/Coffee/Herbal Extracts/Sweeteners, DöhlerGruppe).

      PepsiCo set to beat Coke in race to remove sugar from 'vitamin' water
      by Loulla-Mae Eleftheriou-Smith, 12 April 2012, 12:09pm

      PepsiCo UK is removing sugar from its vitamin-enriched water range SoBe V Water at the end of this month, while Coca-Cola is yet to confirm whether it will reformulate its rival Glaceau Vitaminwater range.


      PepsiCo and its UK bottler Britvic are to use the naturally-sourced stevia extract, which was approved by the European Union in November, to sweeten the drink instead of sugar.

      The move will reduce the SoBe V Water range's sugar content from 20 grams to zero and its calorie count from 85 to 10 or less.

      New packaging will communicate the brand's new low calorie, zero sugar message and PepsiCo and Britvic are planning an outdoor marketing campaign, sampling, in-store and social media activity.

      However, Coca-Cola is yet to confirm where it plans to use the sweetener in its portfolio. The company said in a statement: "We are exploring the use of our stevia sweetener in our GB portfolio but have no plans to announce at this time".

      Glaceau Vitaminwater, which is the "worldwide partner and best mate" of the London 2012 Games, contains 23 grams of sugar per 500ml serving.

      Amanda Thompson, marketing director at PepsiCo UK, said: "SoBe V Water with purified stevia extract has been a great hit in the US and we’re excited to launch a version for the UK market and deliver a wider choice in healthier drinks for UK consumers.

      "The stevia innovation drove volume by 73% when it was launched in the US and we look forward to seeing it on the shelves here in the UK."
      Last month both Coca-Cola and PepsiCo made commitments to the Department of Health's responsibility deal, which aims to cut five billion calories from the nation's daily diet.

      gerade nochmals ein wenig selbst im Netz zur PureCircle schlau gemacht (Zahlen, News etc.)...

      dass Stevia eine goldene Zukunft hat, steht außer Zweifel, aber nach klassischen Bewertugungskritieren ist der Laden ja schon ziemlich ambitioniert bewertet. Stolze 300 Mio EURO Marktkapitaliserung gegenüber einem Umsatz von 15 Mio $ (H1 FY 2012) bzw. Gewinn von 1.7 Mio $.
      huiui, vom KGV möchte ich da ja gar nicht reden.

      und dass hier niemand die News vom 3.4. reingestellt hat, wundert mich auch, denn dies hat mitunder zum Anstieg Anfang April geführt:

      press release

      April 24, 2012, 7:00 a.m. EDT

      Tropicana Trop50 Grows Its Line-up of 50 Percent Fewer Calories Offerings with Breakthrough Innovations

      New Trop50 Juice with Tea Platform and Red Orange Variety Give People More Refreshing Ways to Enjoy Fruit Juice Goodness With Less Sugar and Calories

      CHICAGO, April 24, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Tropicana Trop50 introduces innovative offerings, including a new platform that combines fruit juice goodness with tea, and a new exotic red orange flavor.




      Trop50 Juice with Tea is a new line that offers fruit juice goodness with 50 percent fewer calories, now with tea! These refreshingly different juice with tea combinations are made with delicious fruit juices and white and green teas to deliver a great-tasting and nutritious juice beverage. The line includes Trop50 Peach with White Tea, Trop50 Raspberry with Green Tea and Trop50 Pear Lychee with White Tea. With 35-45 calories in each 8-ounce glass, they provide a full day's supply of vitamin C and good source of antioxidant vitamin E.

      Trop50 Red Orange delivers the goodness of orange juice with 50 percent less sugar and calories, and no artificial sweeteners. It blends nutritious orange juice with lush red oranges for a unique, refreshingly smooth, delicious taste. With 50 calories in each 8-ounce glass, it provides a full day's supply of vitamin C and good source of potassium.

      "Trop50 is one of the most successful new product launches in the last five years. It's clear that we're easing the tension for consumers who love fruit juice but also are sugar and calorie conscious," said Kate Keller, Trop50 director of marketing. "These leading-edge flavors give people even more ways to enjoy refreshing fruit juice goodness throughout the day."

      Available nationwide in May, the suggested retail price for 59-ounce bottles is $3.96. Peach with White Tea and Raspberry with Green Tea also are available in 12-ounce bottles for $1.69.

      The "Girlfriends" Campaign ContinuesTo support these new varieties, Trop50 will air new TV spots extending the humorous "Girlfriends" advertising campaign starring three-time Emmy nominee and Tony Award-winner Jane Krakowski. In the campaign, Krakowski and a trio of girlfriends dish about life, love, and looking and feeling good.

      In the Red Orange spot, Krakowski sings the praises of the new taste experience to her friends, waking her neighbors with a lively rendition of "I'm Walking on Sunshine." The Juice with Tea spot features Krakowski in a daydream with heartthrob Gilles Marini, who played Luc Laurent on ABC's hit family drama "Brothers & Sisters" and also is well-known for his second place finish on season eight of "Dancing With the Stars." They engage in a seductive dance but Krakowski reveals that her true desire is for something exotic and refreshingly different, like juice with tea.

      The ads, created by Contagious Content, were directed by "Made of Honor" director Paul Weiland.

      The Fruity Trop50 FamilyAdditional Trop50 juice beverage varieties include Lemonade, Raspberry Lemonade, Pomegranate Blueberry, Pineapple Mango, Farmstand Apple and the original Orange offerings. Trop50 Orange is available in several varieties, including No Pulp, Some Pulp and No Pulp Calcium & Vitamin D, which provides 35 percent daily value of calcium and 25 percent daily value of vitamin D - an excellent source of both nutrients.

      All Trop50 varieties are made with delicious juice and the breakthrough use of a zero-calorie, all-natural stevia-based sweetener known as PureVia(TM). PureVia is the highest quality, all natural extract of the stevia plant called Reb A. In Trop50, PureVia enhances the sweetness of real fruit juice, naturally.

      Innovativster Eismacher 2011 Giovanni L. produziert Stevia Eis mit 30% weniger Kalorien

      RTL Nord und Schmeckt´s Lebensmittel Innovation und Kommunikation begleiten den Weg von der Pflanze bis zum Deluxe Eis

      RTL Nord zeichnet Stevia von der Pflanze bis zum leckeren Eis auf(lifePR) Hamburg, 25.05.2012, Als erster Eisanbieter bietet Giovanni L. ab 25. Mai 2012 zwei Eissorten in seinen Eisdielen an in denen die Süße aus der Steviapflanze steckt. Dies war auch RTL Nord einen 7 minütigen Dreh wert. Eine gelungene PR für NPSweet und Giovanni L. Gelato Deluxe, beides Kunden der Schmeckt´s Lebensmittel Innovation und Kommunikation mit Sitz in Hamburg.

      Zu dem breiten Sortiment von rund 100 Eissorten mit so klangvollen Namen wie Quattro Formaggi (Innovationspreisgewinner 2011) oder Pistazie (Weltmeistereis von 2010) kommen damit zwei ganz besondere Sorten hinzu, die voll auf den Wellness Trend und das zunehmende Gesund-heitsbewußtsein der Endverbraucher reagieren..
      Giovanni L. Mango-Maracuja und Ananas mit grünem Apfel bieten doppelten Fruchtgenuss bei 70% der Kalorien.
      „Nach der Zulassung von Stevia als Lebensmittelzusatzstoff Ende vergangenen Jahres habe ich in diesem neuen Süßungsmittel sofort eine große Chance gesehen. Denn nun kann ich meinen Kunden endlich Eis mit einem runden Geschmack bei reduzierten Kalorien anbieten“ erläutert Giovanni Lasagna seine Innovationsfreudigkeit. Bei den neuen Eissorten wird eine Kombination aus Zucker und Stevia zur Süßung eingesetzt. Das verspricht vollen Geschmack bei 30 Prozent weniger Kalorien gegenüber herkömmlichem Speiseeis. Die Sorbets sind darüber hinaus noch fruchtiger, da noch mehr Früchte pro Kilo Eis drin stecken. „Wir sind die ersten, die ein solches Eis in deutschen Eisdielen anbieten können“, freut sich Giovanni Lasagna. Möglich wird dies durch die Anwendung von Stevia als Süßungsmittel. Stevia ist ein Süßungsmittel aus einer natürlichen Quelle und war Ende 2011 in der EU als Zusatz in Lebensmitteln zugelassen worden.
      Der neue Süßstoff kommt von NP Sweet. Die Spezialisten von NP Sweet haben speziell für Giovanni L. Süßungskonzepte für Speiseeis ausgearbeitet und dem Kieler Unternehmen vorgestellt. NP Sweet ist ein joint venture des zweitgrößten europäischen Zuckerproduzenten Nordzucker und dem malaysischen Produzenten von Stevia Pure Circle. „Gerade in Produkten wie Speiseeis lässt sich Stevia vorzüglich einsetzen“ erklärt Matthias Meyer – bei NP Sweet für das Marketing und den Vertrieb von Stevia in Deutschland zuständig und ergänzt: „Unsere Anwendungstechniker kennen Zucker in- und auswendig und bringen zusätzlich Kenntnisse und Erfahrungen über Stevia mit. So können sie die Vorteile von beidem kombinieren. Zucker und Stevia sind eben nicht nur im Eis ein gutes Team“ meint Meyer und lacht.

      „Die letztendliche Entwicklung der Rezepte liegt natürlich als Eiskonditoren in unserer Hand. Wir wissen, welche Sorten sich unsere Kunden wünschen. Aber in der Zusammenarbeit mit NP Sweet haben wir das optimale Süßungskonzept für kalorienreduziertes Eis gefunden“ ist Giovanni Lasagna überzeugt und blickt zuversichtlich auf die neue Saison.

      http://www.purecircle.com/investors/rule-26/reports-announce…

      Grund für den Anstieg ist u.a. die Beteiligung von Wang Tak, der knapp 12% an PureCircle hält. Aber seht dort selbst nach und bildet euch ein Urteil. Bleibt dran und setzt evtl. Stops nach. Der Beitritt von John R.Cook (Ex-Coca Cola Führungskraft) und dessen Statements zur weiteren Expansion in Amerika und Afrika ist auch lesenswert, ausgegeben am 07.08.12 (Expansion of Executive Management Team. Zudem ist zu sagen dass PureCircle Marktführer in der Verarbeitung und Distribution von Stevia ist.

      Sales: In FY 2012 sales were $7.8m (15%) lower than FY 2011. This reflected FY 2012 being the first year in the Company's history with no pre committed "Take or Pay" contracted sales, which had totalled $22m in FY2011 ($29m in FY 2010 and $54m in FY 2009). Our non "Take or Pay" high purity sales have increased from $6m in FY2010 to $39m in FY 2012, with FY 2012 volume growth of 125%



      Sales volumes: In FY 2012 total volumes of high purity stevia increased by 26%. Volume increases were led by sales of the portfolio of proprietary new ingredients introduced over the past eighteen months (Alpha, SG95, Natural FlavorTM range), each of which increased by more than 100%. The Group has established a portfolio of ingredients and a well balanced mix of sales is anticipated going forward.



      Despite the volume increase, FY 2012 sales levels remained sub-scale and did not reflect the strong growth in end market usage of high purity stevia. This is principally due to the continued impact of inventory at Beverage Global Key Accounts (BGKAs).



      Gross profit: In FY2012 gross profit was $4.9m (11% of sales), an increase of $0.8m (19%) over FY2011, despite the lower sales revenues. The Group's variable contribution margin for high purity stevia revenues improved by ten percentage points over FY 2011, reflecting improved product mix and lower variable costs.



      Foreign exchange: In FY 2012 the Group incurred foreign exchange costs of $2.1m against gains in FY 2011 of $5.2m, a year on year profit impact of $7.3m.



      EBITDA: In FY 2012 the Group's EBITDA was a loss of $15.2m which was $5.3m higher than the loss of $9.9m reported in FY 2011, reflecting the foreign exchange noted earlier. Both years have been impacted by the exceptional costs relating to the temporary slowing down of Reb A production which was effected across CY 2011 so as to reduce Reb A inventory to levels better aligned with current market demand. Production of Reb A increased in early calendar 2012.



      In FY 2012 the Group's total cost base reduced by $3m despite supporting higher sales volumes and the Group's $1m share of sales and marketing investment in our EU Joint Ventures.



      Net cash from operations, before financing: The Group generated $4.5m of operating cash-flow before interest and financing, a $15m cash-flow improvement on prior year.



      Inventories: At $74m inventories are $23m lower than at June 2011 and $40m lower than their peak at December 2010. Further reductions are expected as sales volumes increase before they stabilise at a consistent proportion of sales demand.



      Cash and net debt: The Group ended FY2012 with gross cash of $24m, net debt of $78m and cash and facility headroom of $44m. Headroom was further boosted after the year end with the $31m proceeds of our Private Placement completed in August 2012. The Group is sufficiently funded for its current expansion plans.



      Business developments



      Overview: With our technologies proven and our production scaled, our business development focus is concentrated on increasing global usage of high purity stevia. There were encouraging developments in usage across FY 2012 that suggests large scale adoption will be apparent during CY 2013 and CY 2014.



      F&B product launches: Up to August 2012 F&B product launches with high purity stevia are running at a rate of 1,000 new launches for CY 2012, a 65% increase over CY 2011 and taking total products launched with high purity stevia to more than 2,600 (source Datamonitor). Encouragingly PureCircle stevia ingredients are being used across the full range of F&B product innovation including reformulations of existing mainstream products, brand extensions and new product launches.



      EU impact: EU clearance for high purity stevia was achieved in December 2011, thus opening up the world's largest single sweetener market. Although it had only modest impact on FY 2012 sales, EU adoption of high purity stevia has been fast and is accelerating with almost 400 launches in the EU. High purity stevia ingredient products are now on sale in 49 countries (both sources Datamonitor).



      Carbonated Soft Drinks (CSDs): Due to their global ubiquity, CSDs are likely to represent the largest single category volume for high purity stevia. FY2012 saw encouraging progress with a number of high purity stevia sweetened CSD launches notably including the reformulation of Sprite in France in April 2012 and Fanta in China in February 2012.



      Wider F&B category penetration: In FY 2012 F&B launches were made in a number of new categories including confectionery, ketchups and dairy.



      Customer base: PureCircle is building a diversified customer base. In FY 2012 we sold to 121 different customers around the world, counting each Global Key Accounts as just one customer. Our largest customer in FY 2012 represented 8.5% of revenues and was not a Beverage GKA and our top ten customers amounted for only 60% of sales. The numbers of orders we process has increased with a current monthly average in excess of 100 customer orders.



      Geographical spread: In FY 2012 the Group sold to 47 different countries of destination. The USA now represents 40% of total sales, with strong growth in sales to China, Mexico, Europe and Brazil.



      Regulatory: High purity stevia now has regulatory approval in most major markets. FY2012 approvals included Indonesia and Philippines as well as the EU. The key remaining countries are India, Canada, Thailand, South Africa and Canada. Approval is expected in all of these before end June 2013 and will provide a further 1.6 billion new consumers with access to high purity stevia.



      PureCircle product portfolio: FY2012 was the first full year of sales for our proprietary ingredients SG95 and Natural FlavorTM range; in addition in FY 2012 we launched Alpha. Reb A represented just 40% of our total revenues (FY 2009: 90%). Our enhanced ingredient range comprises new products developed specifically in response to customer needs and they are proprietary. Market response has been positive, with year on year sales growth well in excess of 100% and pipeline growth even higher.



      PureCircle's innovation is what sets us apart in the industry and we have further innovative product plans in the pipeline.



      Technical support: We have expanded our technical support opening application laboratories in key markets such as Europe (UK), China and soon Mexico. We have developed the PureCircle University programme in response to customer demand for direct access to our technical support. Launched in FY 2012 this already has a strong pipeline of customer participation and is building deep relationships.



      Stevia advocacy and sustainability initiatives: Our initiatives continue to provide real industry leadership and long term value for PureCircle.

      - The PureCircle Stevia TrustmarkTM is now used on 160 products launched across 32 countries with additional product launches in the pipeline for FY 2013.

      - Our carbon and water footprint audits are being developed further to provide clear consumer benefits to our customers

      - Our Insights Group is building market studies directly in partnership with key customers

      - The Global Stevia Institute (GSI) is now established with advisers active across 4 continents. The GSI now attracts 3,000 subscribers to its monthly newsletter



      Joint Ventures: With the opening of the EU market, FY 2012 saw the first sales contributions from our Joint Ventures. The pace of F&B launches in the EU suggests that the JVs will experience sales growth in future years.



      Supply chain: In FY 2012 our supply chain supported overall sales volume increases of over 26% and delivered new product volumes up more than 100% on a lower cost base and with reduced variable costs. This provides a platform for improved profitability as sales volumes increase. The true extent of the production efficiency gains made in FY 2012 is masked by the one off costs and the higher production overheads charged to profit due to lower inventory levels.



      Commenting on the audited results, the Chairman Paul Selway-Swift said:



      "FY 2012 was the first year that our sales were not supported by committed "Take or Pay" contracts. Despite this our high purity sales volumes increased. Further some 85% of sales comprised demand that did not exist three years ago. This augurs well for future sales growth.



      Our recent results have been impacted by the tough decisions we made in 2011 to slowdown Reb A production temporarily to better align inventories to current market demand. Results should improve as the evident growth in market usage of our products starts to translate into higher sales.



      We remain confident of the future of our high purity stevia business but continue our guidance that this should be seen as a mid to long term opportunity."

      2. BUSINESS REVIEW



      2.1 CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT



      FY 2012 has been a year of considerable progress in the development of the high purity stevia industry and in the establishment of PureCircle as the leading company in the industry, although clearly that progress is not yet evident in our reported financial results.



      Notable milestones for the high purity stevia industry have included regulatory approval for the EU market in December 2011, which opens up the world's largest sweetener market, and the first launches of major Carbonated Soft Drinks containing high purity stevia. Each of these developments increases materially the addressable market for high purity stevia.



      During FY 2012 PureCircle has further diversified its customer base, delivered new proprietary ingredients to market, increased sales volumes by more than 26% and reduced its cost base, whilst continuing to invest in innovation and leaf development. These developments all provide confidence in the robustness and sustainability of our business model.



      We remain confident about the long term future of the high purity stevia industry and of the opportunity for PureCircle to play the leading role in it. PureCircle is operationally geared and our financial results are sensitive to sales revenues. Our guidance remains that it is likely to be CY 2013 or 2014 before mass volume adoption of high purity stevia is evident and the benefits of increased usage starts to be reflected in our results.



      2.2 CEO Review



      OPERATIONS



      Market



      Our market is defined by the demand for our proprietary ingredients by the world's food and beverage (F&B) companies. In turn the size and dynamics of this market are influenced by the end consumer demand for F&B products using PureCircle ingredients. FY 2012 saw important growth in our market and in consumer demand for high purity stevia.



      Datamonitor reports F&B products using high purity stevia launching across CY 2012 to-date at an annual rate of 1,000 new products, an increase of 65% on a year ago and 606% increase since the start of 2009. More than 2,600 products have now been launched using high purity stevia as an ingredient.



      Stevia product launches have been reported in more than 49 countries in CY2012, boosted by the opening of the EU market in December 2011. The EU, which is the world's largest market for sweeteners, has seen more than 40% of the total new launches made to-date in CY 2012.



      Consumer awareness of stevia continues to grow sharply. In the USA consumer awareness is over 62%, up more than 30 percentage points from 3 years ago. In Germany and France awareness is already at or above 50%, almost 30 percentage points higher than in 2010.



      Regulatory



      With the opening of the EU, Indonesia and Philippines markets, high purity stevia is now approved in almost all major consumer markets. India, Thailand, Canada and South Africa, which are the principal countries still awaiting clearances are each expected to secure approval within twelve months. When they do so, approval will grant about 1.6billion new potential consumers access to high purity stevia, representing almost 23% of the world's population.



      Other commodity sweeteners



      In FY 2012 both sugar and high fructose corn syrup continued to experience tightening of supply against demand and volatility in their pricing. These trends can only help the future development of mass volume demand for PureCircle ingredients.



      Sales



      In FY 2012 our sales of $45.4m were $8m (15%) lower than FY 2011. This reflected FY 2012 being the first year in the Company's history with no pre committed "Take or Pay" contracted sales, which had totalled $22m in FY2011, $29m in FY2010 and $54m in FY 2009. Our non "Take or Pay" high purity sales have increased from $6m in FY2010 to $39m in FY 2012, with FY 2012 volume growth of 125%.



      In FY 2012 total volumes of high purity stevia increased by 26%. Volume increases were led by sales of the portfolio of proprietary new ingredients introduced over the past eighteen months (Alpha, SG95, Natural FlavorTM range), each of which increased by more than 100%. Reb A contributed just 40% of revenues in FY2012. This portfolio of ingredients will help the Group have a well balanced mix of sales going forward.



      Co-products were $6m (15%) of FY12 revenues (FY 2011 $7m).



      Sales included $1.1m share of sales by Joint Ventures, principally from our EU partnerships with Tereos and Nordzucker which benefitted from the opening of the EU market in December 2011.



      During FY2012 PureCircle further extended its customer base in all markets, with the largest increases seen in the newly opened EU market, where customers are serviced principally through our Joint Ventures, China and in Latin America. In FY 2012 we serviced more than 121 customers, with each Global Key Account counting as just one. Our largest customer represented just 8.5% of sales and was not a Beverage Global Key Account. In FY 2012 PureCircle sold into 47 countries: the USA represented 40% of sales, followed by China, Mexico and the EU.



      Reviewing the food and beverage products launched into market that are using high purity stevia, it is clear that PureCircle and our partners continue to secure the major share of market. This has been further underpinned by the successes of our proprietary new products launched within the last eighteen months.



      Marketing and technical support



      We have expanded out technical support and further developed our stevia advocacy and sustainability platforms.



      We have opened application support laboratories in Europe (UK) and China and, soon to be opened, Mexico. Our pipeline of customer technical projects is growing and the number of customer working sessions has increased significantly.



      Our stevia technical support, advocacy and sustainability initiatives are based on the five platforms of the Global Stevia Institute, the PureCircle Insights Group, the PureCircle Trustmark solutions, PureCircle University and our sustainable partnerships. Each have developed strongly during the year under review and are now each recognised as industry leaders in their own right. Each provides an excellent basis for deeper partnership relationships with our customers.



      - The PureCircle Stevia TrustmarkTM is now used on 160 products launched across 32 countries with additional product launches in the pipeline for FY 2013.

      - Our carbon and water footprint audits are being developed further to provide clear consumer benefits to our customers

      - Our Insights Group is building market studies directly in partnership with key customers

      - The Global Stevia Institute (GSI) is now established with advisers active across 4 continents. The GSI now attracts 3,000 subscribers to its monthly newsletter

      - The PureCircle University programme was developed in response to customer demand for direct access to our technical support. Launched in FY 2012 this already has a strong pipeline of customer participation and is building deep relationships.



      Supply chain



      In FY2012 Leaf supply has been further diversified and strengthened with Kenya, Paraguay and USA being added to China. Although Reb A production was slowed down in CY2011 production of other products in portfolio increased strongly as reflected in the higher overall volume of high purity stevia sold. This was achieved on a lower total cost base and with lower variable costs.



      Overall the supply chain is in robust shape and ready to respond to increased market demand in the future.



      R&D



      The group actively continued to invest in innovation and is working to commercialize new and exciting products to further strengthen its portfolio and enhance future earnings.



      3. Management



      The Group has ambitious long term growth plans. To deliver these we will continue to invest in management with the skills and experience to drive and support our growth plans in all aspects of our business. Our priority in FY 2012 has been sales and marketing with investment focusing on our EU, China and Latin America sales businesses and on expanding our technical and application capacity.



      Moving forward we will strengthen further our global supply chain and logistics to better service the anticipated increase in demand.



      4. Group Financial review



      The Group's FY 2012 financial year covers the year from 1 July 2011 to 30 June 2012. FY 2011 comparatives are for the year from 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2011.

      Segmental reporting: The Group operates as a single segment company comprising the integrated production and marketing of high purity stevia products.



      Sales: Sales for FY 2012 were $8m (15%) lower than FY 2011. This reflected FY 2012 being the first year in the Company's history with no pre committed "Take or Pay" contracted sales, which had totalled $22m in FY2011 ($29m in FY 2010 and $54m in FY 2009). Our non "Take or Pay" high purity sales have increased from $6m in FY2010 to $39m in FY 2012, with FY 2012 volume growth of 125%



      Sales volumes: In FY 2012 total volumes of high purity stevia increased by 26%. Volume increases were led by sales of the portfolio of proprietary new products introduced over the past eighteen months (Alpha, SG95, Natural FlavorTM range), each of which increased by more than 100%. The Group has established a portfolio of products and a well balanced mix of sales is anticipated going forward.



      Despite the volume increase, FY 2012 sales levels remained sub-scale and did not reflect the strong growth in end market usage of high purity stevia. This is principally due to the continued impact of inventory at Beverage Global Key Accounts (BGKAs).



      Gross profit: In FY2012 gross profit was $4.9m (11% of sales), an increase of $0.8m (19%) over FY2011, despite the lower sales revenues. The Group's variable contribution margin for high purity stevia revenues improved by ten percentage points over FY 2011, reflecting improved product mix and lower variable costs.



      Foreign exchange: In FY 2012 the Group incurred foreign exchange costs of $2.1m against gains in FY 2011 of $5.2m, a year on year profit impact of $7.3m. This is included in other income and expenses.



      EBITDA: In FY 2012 the Group's EBITDA was a loss of $15.2m which was $5.3m higher than the loss of $9.9m reported in FY 2011, reflecting the foreign exchange noted earlier. Both years have been impacted by the exceptional costs relating to the temporary slowing down of Reb A production which was effected across CY 2011 so as to reduce Reb A inventory to levels better aligned with current market demand. Production of Reb A increased back to normal levels in early calendar 2012.



      In FY 2012 the Group's total cost base reduced by $3m despite supporting higher sales volumes and the Group's $1m share of sales and marketing investment in our EU Joint Ventures.



      Net cash from operations, before financing: The Group generated $4.5m of operating cash-flow before interest and financing, a $15m cash-flow improvement on prior year.



      Inventories: At $74m inventories are $23m lower than at June 2011 and $40m lower than their peak at December 2010. Further reductions are expected as sales volumes increase before they stabilise at a consistent proportion of sales demand.



      Cash and net debt: The Group ended FY2012 with gross cash of $24m, net debt of $78m and cash and facility headroom of $44m. The Group's net debt has remained constant since December 2010 $77m reflecting the Group being operating cash-flow neutral across the period, despite the relatively low sales volumes and the temporary production slowdown.



      Our cash and facility headroom was further boosted after the year end with the $31m proceeds of the Private Placement completed in August 2012. The Group is sufficiently funded for its current expansion plans.



      Gross assets: The Group has gross assets of $233m. This represents the fully invested supply chain that is capable of delivering 2,800 tonnes of high purity stevia in a flexible manner reflecting the Group's portfolio of proprietary products. When running at capacity the existing supply chain can support sales of at least $280 to $300 million.

      PURECIRCLE LIMITED

      FY 2012 RESULTS

      PureCircle (www.purecircle.com) the world's leading producer of and marketer of high purity stevia ingredients announces its audited results for the financial year to 30 June 2012 (FY 2012) together with audited comparatives for the year ended 30 June 2011 (FY 2011).

      1.1 HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE YEAR

      Financial Highlights

      The audited results for FY 2012 comprising the Group's consolidated statement of comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of cash flows are set out on page 10 to 14. The Group's full Annual Report and accounts will be posted to shareholders in November 2012. A summary of the financials for FY 2012 with FY 2011 comparatives is set out below.

      Summary financials





      Sales: In FY 2012 sales were $7.8m (15%) lower than FY 2011. This reflected FY 2012 being the first year in the Company's history with no pre committed "Take or Pay" contracted sales, which had totalled $22m in FY2011 ($29m in FY 2010 and $54m in FY 2009). Our non "Take or Pay" high purity sales have increased from $6m in FY2010 to $39m in FY 2012, with FY 2012 volume growth of 125%



      Sales volumes: In FY 2012 total volumes of high purity stevia increased by 26%. Volume increases were led by sales of the portfolio of proprietary new ingredients introduced over the past eighteen months (Alpha, SG95, Natural FlavorTM range), each of which increased by more than 100%. The Group has established a portfolio of ingredients and a well balanced mix of sales is anticipated going forward.



      Despite the volume increase, FY 2012 sales levels remained sub-scale and did not reflect the strong growth in end market usage of high purity stevia. This is principally due to the continued impact of inventory at Beverage Global Key Accounts (BGKAs).



      Gross profit: In FY2012 gross profit was $4.9m (11% of sales), an increase of $0.8m (19%) over FY2011, despite the lower sales revenues. The Group's variable contribution margin for high purity stevia revenues improved by ten percentage points over FY 2011, reflecting improved product mix and lower variable costs.



      Foreign exchange: In FY 2012 the Group incurred foreign exchange costs of $2.1m against gains in FY 2011 of $5.2m, a year on year profit impact of $7.3m.



      EBITDA: In FY 2012 the Group's EBITDA was a loss of $15.2m which was $5.3m higher than the loss of $9.9m reported in FY 2011, reflecting the foreign exchange noted earlier. Both years have been impacted by the exceptional costs relating to the temporary slowing down of Reb A production which was effected across CY 2011 so as to reduce Reb A inventory to levels better aligned with current market demand. Production of Reb A increased in early calendar 2012.



      In FY 2012 the Group's total cost base reduced by $3m despite supporting higher sales volumes and the Group's $1m share of sales and marketing investment in our EU Joint Ventures.



      Net cash from operations, before financing: The Group generated $4.5m of operating cash-flow before interest and financing, a $15m cash-flow improvement on prior year.



      Inventories: At $74m inventories are $23m lower than at June 2011 and $40m lower than their peak at December 2010. Further reductions are expected as sales volumes increase before they stabilise at a consistent proportion of sales demand.



      Cash and net debt: The Group ended FY2012 with gross cash of $24m, net debt of $78m and cash and facility headroom of $44m. Headroom was further boosted after the year end with the $31m proceeds of our Private Placement completed in August 2012. The Group is sufficiently funded for its current expansion plans.



      Business developments



      Overview: With our technologies proven and our production scaled, our business development focus is concentrated on increasing global usage of high purity stevia. There were encouraging developments in usage across FY 2012 that suggests large scale adoption will be apparent during CY 2013 and CY 2014.



      F&B product launches: Up to August 2012 F&B product launches with high purity stevia are running at a rate of 1,000 new launches for CY 2012, a 65% increase over CY 2011 and taking total products launched with high purity stevia to more than 2,600 (source Datamonitor). Encouragingly PureCircle stevia ingredients are being used across the full range of F&B product innovation including reformulations of existing mainstream products, brand extensions and new product launches.



      EU impact: EU clearance for high purity stevia was achieved in December 2011, thus opening up the world's largest single sweetener market. Although it had only modest impact on FY 2012 sales, EU adoption of high purity stevia has been fast and is accelerating with almost 400 launches in the EU. High purity stevia ingredient products are now on sale in 49 countries (both sources Datamonitor).



      Carbonated Soft Drinks (CSDs): Due to their global ubiquity, CSDs are likely to represent the largest single category volume for high purity stevia. FY2012 saw encouraging progress with a number of high purity stevia sweetened CSD launches notably including the reformulation of Sprite in France in April 2012 and Fanta in China in February 2012.



      Wider F&B category penetration: In FY 2012 F&B launches were made in a number of new categories including confectionery, ketchups and dairy.



      Customer base: PureCircle is building a diversified customer base. In FY 2012 we sold to 121 different customers around the world, counting each Global Key Accounts as just one customer. Our largest customer in FY 2012 represented 8.5% of revenues and was not a Beverage GKA and our top ten customers amounted for only 60% of sales. The numbers of orders we process has increased with a current monthly average in excess of 100 customer orders.



      Geographical spread: In FY 2012 the Group sold to 47 different countries of destination. The USA now represents 40% of total sales, with strong growth in sales to China, Mexico, Europe and Brazil.



      Regulatory: High purity stevia now has regulatory approval in most major markets. FY2012 approvals included Indonesia and Philippines as well as the EU. The key remaining countries are India, Canada, Thailand, South Africa and Canada. Approval is expected in all of these before end June 2013 and will provide a further 1.6 billion new consumers with access to high purity stevia.



      PureCircle product portfolio: FY2012 was the first full year of sales for our proprietary ingredients SG95 and Natural FlavorTM range; in addition in FY 2012 we launched Alpha. Reb A represented just 40% of our total revenues (FY 2009: 90%). Our enhanced ingredient range comprises new products developed specifically in response to customer needs and they are proprietary. Market response has been positive, with year on year sales growth well in excess of 100% and pipeline growth even higher.



      PureCircle's innovation is what sets us apart in the industry and we have further innovative product plans in the pipeline.



      Technical support: We have expanded our technical support opening application laboratories in key markets such as Europe (UK), China and soon Mexico. We have developed the PureCircle University programme in response to customer demand for direct access to our technical support. Launched in FY 2012 this already has a strong pipeline of customer participation and is building deep relationships.



      Stevia advocacy and sustainability initiatives: Our initiatives continue to provide real industry leadership and long term value for PureCircle.

      - The PureCircle Stevia TrustmarkTM is now used on 160 products launched across 32 countries with additional product launches in the pipeline for FY 2013.

      - Our carbon and water footprint audits are being developed further to provide clear consumer benefits to our customers

      - Our Insights Group is building market studies directly in partnership with key customers

      - The Global Stevia Institute (GSI) is now established with advisers active across 4 continents. The GSI now attracts 3,000 subscribers to its monthly newsletter



      Joint Ventures: With the opening of the EU market, FY 2012 saw the first sales contributions from our Joint Ventures. The pace of F&B launches in the EU suggests that the JVs will experience sales growth in future years.



      Supply chain: In FY 2012 our supply chain supported overall sales volume increases of over 26% and delivered new product volumes up more than 100% on a lower cost base and with reduced variable costs. This provides a platform for improved profitability as sales volumes increase. The true extent of the production efficiency gains made in FY 2012 is masked by the one off costs and the higher production overheads charged to profit due to lower inventory levels.



      Commenting on the audited results, the Chairman Paul Selway-Swift said:



      "FY 2012 was the first year that our sales were not supported by committed "Take or Pay" contracts. Despite this our high purity sales volumes increased. Further some 85% of sales comprised demand that did not exist three years ago. This augurs well for future sales growth.



      Our recent results have been impacted by the tough decisions we made in 2011 to slowdown Reb A production temporarily to better align inventories to current market demand. Results should improve as the evident growth in market usage of our products starts to translate into higher sales.



      We remain confident of the future of our high purity stevia business but continue our guidance that this should be seen as a mid to long term opportunity."

      2. BUSINESS REVIEW



      2.1 CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT



      FY 2012 has been a year of considerable progress in the development of the high purity stevia industry and in the establishment of PureCircle as the leading company in the industry, although clearly that progress is not yet evident in our reported financial results.



      Notable milestones for the high purity stevia industry have included regulatory approval for the EU market in December 2011, which opens up the world's largest sweetener market, and the first launches of major Carbonated Soft Drinks containing high purity stevia. Each of these developments increases materially the addressable market for high purity stevia.



      During FY 2012 PureCircle has further diversified its customer base, delivered new proprietary ingredients to market, increased sales volumes by more than 26% and reduced its cost base, whilst continuing to invest in innovation and leaf development. These developments all provide confidence in the robustness and sustainability of our business model.



      We remain confident about the long term future of the high purity stevia industry and of the opportunity for PureCircle to play the leading role in it. PureCircle is operationally geared and our financial results are sensitive to sales revenues. Our guidance remains that it is likely to be CY 2013 or 2014 before mass volume adoption of high purity stevia is evident and the benefits of increased usage starts to be reflected in our results.



      2.2 CEO Review



      OPERATIONS



      Market



      Our market is defined by the demand for our proprietary ingredients by the world's food and beverage (F&B) companies. In turn the size and dynamics of this market are influenced by the end consumer demand for F&B products using PureCircle ingredients. FY 2012 saw important growth in our market and in consumer demand for high purity stevia.



      Datamonitor reports F&B products using high purity stevia launching across CY 2012 to-date at an annual rate of 1,000 new products, an increase of 65% on a year ago and 606% increase since the start of 2009. More than 2,600 products have now been launched using high purity stevia as an ingredient.



      Stevia product launches have been reported in more than 49 countries in CY2012, boosted by the opening of the EU market in December 2011. The EU, which is the world's largest market for sweeteners, has seen more than 40% of the total new launches made to-date in CY 2012.



      Consumer awareness of stevia continues to grow sharply. In the USA consumer awareness is over 62%, up more than 30 percentage points from 3 years ago. In Germany and France awareness is already at or above 50%, almost 30 percentage points higher than in 2010.



      Regulatory



      With the opening of the EU, Indonesia and Philippines markets, high purity stevia is now approved in almost all major consumer markets. India, Thailand, Canada and South Africa, which are the principal countries still awaiting clearances are each expected to secure approval within twelve months. When they do so, approval will grant about 1.6billion new potential consumers access to high purity stevia, representing almost 23% of the world's population.



      Other commodity sweeteners



      In FY 2012 both sugar and high fructose corn syrup continued to experience tightening of supply against demand and volatility in their pricing. These trends can only help the future development of mass volume demand for PureCircle ingredients.



      Sales



      In FY 2012 our sales of $45.4m were $8m (15%) lower than FY 2011. This reflected FY 2012 being the first year in the Company's history with no pre committed "Take or Pay" contracted sales, which had totalled $22m in FY2011, $29m in FY2010 and $54m in FY 2009. Our non "Take or Pay" high purity sales have increased from $6m in FY2010 to $39m in FY 2012, with FY 2012 volume growth of 125%.



      In FY 2012 total volumes of high purity stevia increased by 26%. Volume increases were led by sales of the portfolio of proprietary new ingredients introduced over the past eighteen months (Alpha, SG95, Natural FlavorTM range), each of which increased by more than 100%. Reb A contributed just 40% of revenues in FY2012. This portfolio of ingredients will help the Group have a well balanced mix of sales going forward.



      Co-products were $6m (15%) of FY12 revenues (FY 2011 $7m).



      Sales included $1.1m share of sales by Joint Ventures, principally from our EU partnerships with Tereos and Nordzucker which benefitted from the opening of the EU market in December 2011.



      During FY2012 PureCircle further extended its customer base in all markets, with the largest increases seen in the newly opened EU market, where customers are serviced principally through our Joint Ventures, China and in Latin America. In FY 2012 we serviced more than 121 customers, with each Global Key Account counting as just one. Our largest customer represented just 8.5% of sales and was not a Beverage Global Key Account. In FY 2012 PureCircle sold into 47 countries: the USA represented 40% of sales, followed by China, Mexico and the EU.



      Reviewing the food and beverage products launched into market that are using high purity stevia, it is clear that PureCircle and our partners continue to secure the major share of market. This has been further underpinned by the successes of our proprietary new products launched within the last eighteen months.



      Marketing and technical support



      We have expanded out technical support and further developed our stevia advocacy and sustainability platforms.



      We have opened application support laboratories in Europe (UK) and China and, soon to be opened, Mexico. Our pipeline of customer technical projects is growing and the number of customer working sessions has increased significantly.



      Our stevia technical support, advocacy and sustainability initiatives are based on the five platforms of the Global Stevia Institute, the PureCircle Insights Group, the PureCircle Trustmark solutions, PureCircle University and our sustainable partnerships. Each have developed strongly during the year under review and are now each recognised as industry leaders in their own right. Each provides an excellent basis for deeper partnership relationships with our customers.



      - The PureCircle Stevia TrustmarkTM is now used on 160 products launched across 32 countries with additional product launches in the pipeline for FY 2013.

      - Our carbon and water footprint audits are being developed further to provide clear consumer benefits to our customers

      - Our Insights Group is building market studies directly in partnership with key customers

      - The Global Stevia Institute (GSI) is now established with advisers active across 4 continents. The GSI now attracts 3,000 subscribers to its monthly newsletter

      - The PureCircle University programme was developed in response to customer demand for direct access to our technical support. Launched in FY 2012 this already has a strong pipeline of customer participation and is building deep relationships.



      Supply chain



      In FY2012 Leaf supply has been further diversified and strengthened with Kenya, Paraguay and USA being added to China. Although Reb A production was slowed down in CY2011 production of other products in portfolio increased strongly as reflected in the higher overall volume of high purity stevia sold. This was achieved on a lower total cost base and with lower variable costs.



      Overall the supply chain is in robust shape and ready to respond to increased market demand in the future.



      R&D



      The group actively continued to invest in innovation and is working to commercialize new and exciting products to further strengthen its portfolio and enhance future earnings.



      3. Management



      The Group has ambitious long term growth plans. To deliver these we will continue to invest in management with the skills and experience to drive and support our growth plans in all aspects of our business. Our priority in FY 2012 has been sales and marketing with investment focusing on our EU, China and Latin America sales businesses and on expanding our technical and application capacity.



      Moving forward we will strengthen further our global supply chain and logistics to better service the anticipated increase in demand.



      4. Group Financial review



      The Group's FY 2012 financial year covers the year from 1 July 2011 to 30 June 2012. FY 2011 comparatives are for the year from 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2011.



      Set out below is an extract from the audited FY 2012 accounts. The full consolidated statement of comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of cash flows follow in pages 10 to 14.










      Segmental reporting: The Group operates as a single segment company comprising the integrated production and marketing of high purity stevia products.



      Sales: Sales for FY 2012 were $8m (15%) lower than FY 2011. This reflected FY 2012 being the first year in the Company's history with no pre committed "Take or Pay" contracted sales, which had totalled $22m in FY2011 ($29m in FY 2010 and $54m in FY 2009). Our non "Take or Pay" high purity sales have increased from $6m in FY2010 to $39m in FY 2012, with FY 2012 volume growth of 125%



      Sales volumes: In FY 2012 total volumes of high purity stevia increased by 26%. Volume increases were led by sales of the portfolio of proprietary new products introduced over the past eighteen months (Alpha, SG95, Natural FlavorTM range), each of which increased by more than 100%. The Group has established a portfolio of products and a well balanced mix of sales is anticipated going forward.



      Despite the volume increase, FY 2012 sales levels remained sub-scale and did not reflect the strong growth in end market usage of high purity stevia. This is principally due to the continued impact of inventory at Beverage Global Key Accounts (BGKAs).



      Gross profit: In FY2012 gross profit was $4.9m (11% of sales), an increase of $0.8m (19%) over FY2011, despite the lower sales revenues. The Group's variable contribution margin for high purity stevia revenues improved by ten percentage points over FY 2011, reflecting improved product mix and lower variable costs.



      Foreign exchange: In FY 2012 the Group incurred foreign exchange costs of $2.1m against gains in FY 2011 of $5.2m, a year on year profit impact of $7.3m. This is included in other income and expenses.



      EBITDA: In FY 2012 the Group's EBITDA was a loss of $15.2m which was $5.3m higher than the loss of $9.9m reported in FY 2011, reflecting the foreign exchange noted earlier. Both years have been impacted by the exceptional costs relating to the temporary slowing down of Reb A production which was effected across CY 2011 so as to reduce Reb A inventory to levels better aligned with current market demand. Production of Reb A increased back to normal levels in early calendar 2012.



      In FY 2012 the Group's total cost base reduced by $3m despite supporting higher sales volumes and the Group's $1m share of sales and marketing investment in our EU Joint Ventures.



      Net cash from operations, before financing: The Group generated $4.5m of operating cash-flow before interest and financing, a $15m cash-flow improvement on prior year.



      Inventories: At $74m inventories are $23m lower than at June 2011 and $40m lower than their peak at December 2010. Further reductions are expected as sales volumes increase before they stabilise at a consistent proportion of sales demand.



      Cash and net debt: The Group ended FY2012 with gross cash of $24m, net debt of $78m and cash and facility headroom of $44m. The Group's net debt has remained constant since December 2010 $77m reflecting the Group being operating cash-flow neutral across the period, despite the relatively low sales volumes and the temporary production slowdown.



      Our cash and facility headroom was further boosted after the year end with the $31m proceeds of the Private Placement completed in August 2012. The Group is sufficiently funded for its current expansion plans.



      Gross assets: The Group has gross assets of $233m. This represents the fully invested supply chain that is capable of delivering 2,800 tonnes of high purity stevia in a flexible manner reflecting the Group's portfolio of proprietary products. When running at capacity the existing supply chain can support sales of at least $280 to $300 million.

      Kann hier jemand die letzten Kursanstiege begründen? Gibt es fundamental Neues? Oder ist dies immer so bei pc nach den Zahlen: Erst nach unten und dann wieder rauf?

      Announcement of New Agreements





      PureCircle Limited (the "Company") (www.purecircle.com), the world's leading producer and marketer of high purity stevia ingredients, announces that it has entered into two interdependent agreements with The Coca-Cola Company ("TCCC").



      The first is a joint development agreement which allows for the continued joint investigation and development of a stevia sweetener product as a commercially viable food ingredient. The second agreement is an ingredient supply agreement where the Company is appointed the supplier of certain stevia products ("Products"). The agreement establishes a framework pursuant to which TCCC shall, based on its requirements, purchase the Products from the Company at prices to be agreed between the parties, subject to pre-agreed pricing parameters, for a 5-year period.



      We do not expect either agreement to have a significant impact on the Company's short term revenues or earnings. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it is expected that they may have a positive impact beyond that.

      Falls sich jemand wundert dass nun nicht mehr jeden Tag Käufe durch den Non-Executive Director Mr. Tan Boon Seng (als Vertreter der Wang Tak Company Ltd. im Board von PureCircle) gemeldet werden:

      Er ist zusammen mit seiner Stellvertreterin zum 28.12.2012 aus dem Board von PureCircle zurückgetreten. Dadurch ist nicht mehr jeder einzelne Aktienkauf meldepflichtig, sondern lediglich die Überschreitung bestimmter Anteile am Unternehmen (ich habe versucht mich durch die Regularien des Alternative Investment Markets der Londoner Börse zu kämpfen, habe aber keine konkrete Meldeschwellen gefunden).

      Die Wang Tak Company Ltd. führt mittlerweile die Rangliste der Anteilseigner von PureCircle an mit einem Anteil von 19,12%. Sie hat sich in 2012 im Wesentlichen mit ihren nahezu täglichen Aktienkäufen über die Börse London sowie der Übernahme einer Aktienemissions-Privatplatzierung im August von Null auf Platz 1 katapultiert.

      Hat jemand eine Idee welche Ziele die Wang Tak Company Ltd. bei PureCircle verfolgen könnte?

      Coca Cola setzt auf Stevia

      Coca-Cola setzt ab jetzt bei Sprite auf die Süße von Stevia und macht einen großen Schritt in die richtige Richtung

      Coca-Cola am Wendepunkt?

      Jänner 2013, im amerikanischen Fernsehen läuft ein Anti-Fettleibigkeits-Spot, welcher aufruft, man solle mehr Bewegung treiben und sich kalorienbewusster ernähren! In Amerika! Eines der Länder mit der höchsten Fettleibigkeits-Rate der Welt! Das an sich wäre schon ein gewagter Schritt der Amerikaner. Das wirklich Unglaubliche aber war, dass dieser Fernsehspot ein Aufklärungsspot von DER größten Getränke-Firma der Welt ausgestrahlt wurde, Coca-Cola!

      Coca-Cola. Jeder kennt es, jeder hat es schon mal getrunken, jeder weiß, dass es von Zucker nur so strotzt. Welches Getränk wird bei Mäkki und Konsorten getrunken? Coca-Cola! Welches Getränk wird hauptsächlich in den Kinos getrunken? Coca-Cola! Welches Kind fährt nicht auf das zuckersüße, sprudelnde Zuckerwasser ab? Fast keines! Und jeder kennt die Bilder der gestapelten Zuckerwürfel-Pyramiden, die zeigen welche Menge an Zucker sich tatsächlich in diesem braunen Sprudelgetränk befindet. Und jeder spürte förmlich die Speckröllchen die sich bei diesem Anblick bildeten! Solche Bilder werden in Zukunft wohl nur noch der Vergangenheit angehören.

      (Hier der Link zum Tv-Spot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zybnaPqzJ6s

      Im Video auch erkennbar, ein Chemiker auf einem Stevia-Feld! Anschließend das Stevia-Produkt „Truvia“ von Cargill, einem der führenden Stevia-Produkt-Hersteller weltweit. )

      Diese Woche wurde ein ähnlicher Fernsehspot auch in Großbritannien ausgestrahlt. Laut Pressesprechern werden weitere Länder folgen. Macht Coca-Cola die Welt gesünder? Das vielleicht noch nicht, aber es ist auf einem guten Weg.

      Sprite wird kalorienärmer

      Darüber hinaus, ging diese Woche eine Meldung um die Welt, dass Coca-Cola sein zweit-wichtigstes Zuckerwasser, Sprite, in Zukunft mit dem natürlichen Süßungsmittel Stevia süßen wird. In Großbritannien wird dieses kalorienärmere Sprite das übliche mit Zucker getränkte Sprite sogar komplett ersetzen. Keine schlechte Idee!
      In den vergangenen Jahren gab es ja auch schon in Frankreich Tests mit einem kalorienarmen Sprite in Frankreich. Es dürfte wohl gut angekommen sein und laut den Pressesprechern von Coca-Cola werden weitere Länder sukzessive folgen! Der große Durchbruch für Stevia?

      Nach Bekanntgabe dieser Nachricht machten Coca-Colas Aktien einen großen Sprung nach oben. Die Anleger wissen wohl…da kommt noch was Großes!

      Verbot von stark kalorienhaltigen Getränken in New York

      Eine weitere gesunde Nachricht kommt direkt aus dem Big Apple. New Yorks Bürgermeister Michael Bloomberg, sagte vor einigen Tagen stark kalorienhaltigen Getränken den Kampf an. Er erließ ein Verbot, welches den Verkauf von stark kalorienreichen Getränken in Behältern größer als 0,5 Liter unterbindet. Dies betrifft Fast-Food-Ketten, Kinos, Restaurant etc.

      Es ist aber auch klar, dass Michael Bloomberg dafür nicht nur positive Stimmen bekommt. Vor allem die Betreiber dieser Gastro-Einrichtungen werden ihn dafür nicht mehr ganz so gern haben. Trotzdem weiß man, dass es ein Schritt in die richtige Richtung ist und die Gesundheit der Bevölkerung wird es ihm auf kurz oder lang danken! Ein gewagter Schritt Herr Bloomberg! Respekt!

      Wir meinen Coca-Cola & Stevia, eine sehr gute Kombi!

      Der weltweit größte Hersteller von Zuckerwasser hat einen entscheidenden Schritt in Richtung Gesundheit getan. Anstatt weiter „flüssigen Zucker“ an die Bevölkerung zu verkaufen, achtet Coca-Cola immer mehr auf die Gesundheit der Konsumenten. Ein Anfang wurde mit light-Getränken gemacht. Coke light, Sprite light, Fanta light, etc. Leider aber immer noch mit dem kontroversen Süßstoff Aspartam gesüßt. Jetzt geht Coca-Cola einen Schritt weiter. Süßung mit dem natürlichen Stevia. Und man muss kein Schlaumeier sein um zu erraten, dass das vermutlich nicht das erste mit Stevia gesüßte Getränk von Coca-Cola sein wird. Immerhin hat Coca-Cola schon seit Jahrzehnten die meisten Patente auf die Extraktion von Stevia! Wird das der Durchbruch für Stevia? So schlecht kann es ja wohl nicht sein, wenn der größte Getränke-Hersteller der Welt seine Getränke damit süßt. Man kann gespannt sein.

      die Entscheidung ob sie seriös sind ist jedem Selber überlassen
      aber die entwickelte computeranalytische Plattform halte ich für interessant

      die Frage ist meiner Meinung jetzt, inwiefern die Konkurrenz mit der gentechnisch hergestellten Stevia zu welchem Preis herstellen kann...

      CASH ACQUISITION OF PURECIRCLE LIMITED BY INGREDION

      Ich würde mal sagen, dass es mit der Übernahme von Purecircle durch Ingredion zu tun hat:

      Olam International Limited (the “Company” or “Olam”) refers to its earlier announcement
      made on 9 April 2020 on the recommended cash acquisition of the entire issued and to be
      issued share capital of PureCircle Limited (“Acquisition”) by Ingredion Incorporated through
      its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ingredion SRSS Holdings Limited (“Ingredion SRSS”) by means
      of a scheme of arrangement (“Scheme of Arrangement”).
      The Company wishes to announce that the Acquisition by way of Scheme of Arrangement has
      been completed. PureCircle was delisted from the London Stock Exchange and became a
      wholly-owned subsidiary of Ingredion SRSS. The Company has received a total consideration
      of approximately GBP4.1 million in cash and was issued 26,408,751 ordinary shares
      representing an interest of 5.9% in Ingredion SRSS.
      Ingredion SRSS, is an unlisted U.K. subsidiary of Ingredion Incorporated, 75%-owned by
      Ingredion and 25%-owned by former PureCircle shareholders.
