FEATURED PRODUCT: Natural Apple Sweetener
Fruits offer a wide variety of natural sugars to use for adding sweetness to a wide variety of processed food and
beverage products. Each fruit has it's own unique sugar profile, which include the most commonly known sugars such
as sucrose, fructose, glucose and sorbitol. The ratios of each sugar will vary from fruit to fruit, and the fruit
sweetener you select can often be modified through processing to provide a unique sugar profile.
| | % Sugars by Wt, dry basis |
| Fruit* | Glucose | Fructose | Sucrose | Sorbitol |
| Apple | 24% | 52% | 24% | |
| Date | - Pending - |
| Pear | 11% | 53% | 15% | 21% |
| Grape, White | 45% | 54% | 1% | |
| Pineapple | 27% | 20% | 53% | |
| *Note: Values are approximate and based on fresh fruits. Values will vary with variety and origin. Ion Exchange resin treatment to make fruit syrups will also alter sugar profiles, predominately by inverting sucrose to equal parts glucose and fructose. |

We know that a higher fructose content is beneficial to control blood sugar metabolism, and provide a more sustained
energy delivery when ingested. Some fruits have much higher fructose levels than others, can the selection of fruits
as a sweetener can be tailored to deliver the level of fructose desired.
Natural apple sweetener is manufactured from wholesome quality juice, which is specifically
processed with food grade resins to remove most of the organic acids, minerals and insoluble fruit materials,
followed by concentration under thermal vacuum to produce a high brix (usually 70) liquid fruit concentrate.

for your retail product.
