SweeGen completes commercialisation of Bestevia Reb-M

US-based stevia sweetener producer Sweegen has completed the commercialisation process for its Bestevia Reb-M, the company's non-caloric and high-purity stevia.

Bestevia Reb-M is claimed to be the company's first of its kind that is commercially available via bioconversion.

The company further added that its product has been adopted by major companies, including a major global beverage company that recently used SweeGen's Bestevia Reb-M product in its large-scale trial for one of its bottled beverages.

Bestevia Reb-M serves as an alternative for food and beverage manufacturers, as well as consumers, as the global demand for sugar continues to increase while production decreases, and companies are faced with a tax on high-sugar products.

It is produced using proprietary and patent-pending bioconversion technologies utilising natural steviol glycosides derived from the stevia leaf to achieve a high-quality sweetener that is well suited for food and beverage applications.

SweeGen has been offering non-caloric, non-GMO sweeteners for the food, flavour and beverage industries through its dedicated manufacturing capacity, and research and development capabilities.
