Glycosylated steviol and mogroside derivatives: NaturaRecent Research Landscape

Off-notes and lingering bitterness in natural sweeteners limit consumer adoption and product shelf-life. These innovations utilize specific enzymatic glycosylation of monk fruit extracts to modulate flavor profiles and solubility.

What technical problems is Natura addressing in Glycosylated steviol and mogroside derivatives?

Agricultural byproduct waste accumulation

(53)evidences

Underutilization of cacao and nut processing residues leads to environmental waste and lost economic value. Recovering functional compounds transforms discarded biomass into high-value industrial inputs.

Unpleasant sweetener aftertaste

(18)evidences

Natural high-intensity sweeteners suffer from lingering bitterness and metallic off-notes. Reducing these sensory defects improves consumer acceptance and flavor compatibility.
