Icing Sugar
Icing Sugar, also known as powdered sugar or confectioners’ sugar, is a finely ground sugar with a powdery consistency. It is typically made by milling granulated sugar into a fine powder and blending it with a small amount of anti-caking agent (usually cornstarch or tricalcium phosphate) to prevent clumping. Icing Sugar is white, odorless, and has a sweet taste. It is widely used in baking, confectionery, and culinary applications to provide sweetness, texture, and decorative finishes.
Liquid Glucose
Liquid Glucose is a viscous, clear to pale amber syrup primarily composed of glucose and other saccharides. It is produced by the enzymatic hydrolysis of starch derived from corn, wheat, or potatoes. Known for its high sweetness and excellent moisture-retention properties, Liquid Glucose is widely used in the food and beverage industry to enhance texture, sweetness, and shelf life. It also acts as a humectant and crystallization inhibitor, improving the quality and consistency of various processed foods.
Sodium Cyclamate
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.
Sodium Saccharin
Sodium Saccharin is a white crystalline powder or granule with the chemical formula C₇H₄NNaO₃S·2H₂O. It is the sodium salt of saccharin, an artificial sweetener approximately 300–500 times sweeter than sucrose. This non-nutritive, zero-calorie sweetener is widely used in food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and personal care industries. Packaged in 25kg containers, it is highly soluble in water, heat-stable, and has excellent shelf life, making it a cost-effective and versatile sweetening agent.
Stevia
Stevia 25kg refers to a bulk packaging format of high-purity stevia extract, a natural, zero-calorie sweetener derived from the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana. It contains steviol glycosides—primarily Rebaudioside A and Stevioside—which are responsible for its intense sweetness. Stevia is widely used as a sugar substitute in food and beverage formulations, offering a healthier alternative for calorie-conscious and diabetic consumers. This product is typically available in powder or granular form, suitable for large-scale commercial use.
Sucrose
Sucrose, commonly known as table sugar, is a natural disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose. It is a widely used sweetening agent in food and beverages, known for its clean, sweet taste and excellent solubility in water. Supplied in 25kg bags, sucrose serves as a key ingredient in cooking, baking, and industrial applications. It also functions as a preservative, texture enhancer, and fermentation substrate in various industries.
Sugar Slurry
Sugar Slurry is a concentrated aqueous solution of sucrose, prepared by dissolving refined sugar in water to create a viscous, pumpable syrup. It is used extensively in food, beverage, and industrial applications where liquid sweeteners are preferred over granulated sugar for ease of mixing, consistency, and handling. Sugar slurry ensures uniform sweetness and rapid dissolution in various processes and formulations.
Xylitol
Xylitol is a naturally occurring sugar alcohol used as a low-calorie sweetener. It is derived primarily from plant materials such as birch wood and corn cobs. Xylitol has sweetness comparable to sucrose but with fewer calories, making it popular in sugar-free and diabetic-friendly food products. It also exhibits dental health benefits by reducing the risk of cavities.
