Ingredient Snapshot: VivaSweet sucralose, a zero-calorie sweetener suitable for use in virtually any food or beverage, is now available to the food ingredient market, says ADM. VivaSweet blends well with other sweeteners and can be used for a variety of baking (mixes, pie fillings, frostings, ready-to-eat and frozen), dairy and beverage applications. Shelf life studies have also demonstrated that products sweetened with sucralose retain their sweetness throughout extended storage periods, according to ADM. VivaSweet is stable under heat and over a broad range of pH conditions.
