Aspartame FCC IV 100 Mesh
Aspartame FCC IV 100 Mesh is a high-purity, fine crystalline powder form of aspartame, meeting Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) grade IV specifications, and ground to a 100 mesh particle size. This fine particle size improves its solubility and dispersibility in beverages and other formulations. Aspartame is an intense artificial sweetener approximately 200 times sweeter than sucrose. It is widely used as a low-calorie sugar substitute in various food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and personal care products. This form is preferred for applications requiring rapid dissolution and uniform sweetness.
Blueberry Toppings
Blueberry Toppings are sweet, fruit-based condiment preparations made primarily from blueberries, sugar, and thickening agents. They are characterized by a vibrant blue-purple color, fruity aroma, and a sweet-tart flavor profile. Typically semi-viscous with chunks or pureed pieces of blueberry, these toppings are used as finishing ingredients in desserts, breakfast foods, and beverages. Blueberry toppings may be prepared as preserves, syrups, or glazes and often contain natural flavors and preservatives to enhance shelf life and sensory appeal.
Corn Syrup
Corn Syrup is a viscous, sweet liquid derived from the enzymatic hydrolysis of corn starch. It consists primarily of glucose and maltose along with higher saccharides, providing sweetness, viscosity, and moisture retention in food formulations. Corn Syrup is widely used in food and beverage industries as a sweetener, humectant, and texture enhancer. Its ability to prevent crystallization and retain moisture makes it essential in confectionery, baking, and processed foods. Industrial grades of corn syrup are also used in pharmaceuticals and other manufacturing applications where its binding and stabilizing properties are valued.
Disodium Phosphate
Disodium Phosphate, also known as sodium phosphate dibasic, is an inorganic compound widely used for its buffering, emulsifying, and chelating properties. It commonly appears as a white, odorless crystalline powder or granules that are highly soluble in water and alkaline in nature. Disodium Phosphate plays a vital role in regulating pH, improving stability in formulations, and providing essential sodium and phosphate ions. It finds extensive use across food processing, pharmaceuticals, water treatment, agriculture, and industrial applications.
Fructose
Fructose, also known as fruit sugar, is a naturally occurring monosaccharide found in many plants, fruits, honey, and root vegetables. It is a simple sugar with a sweet taste and is one of the three dietary monosaccharides, alongside glucose and galactose. Fructose appears as a white crystalline powder, highly soluble in water, and is commonly used as a sweetener in food and beverage industries due to its high relative sweetness. It plays important roles in metabolism and is used extensively in the production of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and other sweetening agents.
Sodium Cyclamate 80 Mesh
Sodium Cyclamate 80 Mesh is a white, crystalline powder used as an artificial sweetener. It is approximately 30 to 50 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar) and provides a low-calorie sugar substitute. Due to its high sweetness and stability under heat and acidic conditions, it is commonly used in food and beverage formulations, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products as a sugar alternative.
