PureCircle Announces Two Major Developments - Seite 2

PureCircle’s stevia expertise enables it to extract and offer for sale other ingredients from the stevia leaf, including flavor modifiers and antioxidants for use in functional products.  In addition, PureCircle is working toward the commercialization of stevia-based protein and fiber ingredients in 2020.

Due to PureCircle’s innovation strength, it now holds globally 214 patents related to stevia. The Company continues to invest in innovation, and is continuously looking to the stevia plant for new ingredient solutions.

All PureCircle ingredients begin with the stevia plant.  A sweetener is a “stevia leaf sweetener” only if it starts with the stevia plant.  Other stevia-like ingredients produced in laboratories by others are not stevia leaf ingredients. 

The Company works with farmers globally to grow and source its proprietary stevia plants. PureCircle’s agricultural programs not only provide the company with high-quality stevia, but also help support sustainability and farm communities.
