Xylitol

What is Xylitol E967?

Xylitol E967 is probably the best known sugar alcohol (sugar polyol). It looks and tastes like sugar but has lower calories and a much smaller glycemic index.

Xylitol E967 is white crystalline powder, a new natural sweetener mostly made from corncob. Chemical manufacturing process is from Xylose (from corncob) among China Xylitol manufacturers, it may be from birch tree bark from abroad manufacturers. It’s sweetness level equals to sugar. Xylitol is a sugar alcohol that can be found in various plants such as vegetables, fruits and wild mushrooms.

Other names for Xylitol

Other names for xylitol like Birch Sugar, E967, 1,2,3,4,5-Pentahydroxypentane, Xylite, CAS Number 87-99-0

Chemical Formula: C₅H₁₂O₅

Xylitol E967 properties

Appearance

Xylitol E967 is white crystal or crystalized powder.

Taste

Its sweetness taste is equal to cane sugar, cold in taste as it absorb lots of energy when melts.

Solubility

Xylitol E967 dissolve easily in water (the solubility in water around 160g/100ml), and slightly dissolved in ethanol and methanol. When dissolving in water, Xylitol can absorb heat, and has a cool sense in taste. It is a functional sugar alcohol with physiological activity and nutrition value.

Calories

One gram of xylitol contains 2.43 kilocalories (10.2 kilojoules), which is about 63% as much as one gram of sugar, which has 3.87 kcal (16.2 kJ).

Melts

Melting point = 198-205° F (92-96° C)

When xylitol dissolves in your mouth, it actually makes your mouth colder as xylitol melts can absorb many energy. xylitol is the real thing in terms of dropping degrees.

Xylitol and blood sugar

Xylitol E967 looks and tastes like sugar, but has fewer calories and doesn’t raise blood sugar levels.

Glycemic index

Xylitol E967 has fewer calories than sugar. (63% for the same sweetness) It has a very low glycemic index (Only 10 – sugar is 65) and this makes it suitable as part of a diabetic diet.

Metabolism

Only up to 50% of the ingested xylitol is absorbed in the small intestine, the rest passes to the large intestine where it is fermented by the beneficial colonic bacteria to short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) and gases. The unabsorbed xylitol attracts water from the intestinal wall so it can cause diarrhea if consumed in excess. Once absorbed, xylitol can be metabolized and can provide 2.4 kilocalories per gram or it can be converted to glycogen (the glucose store in the liver)

Market trend

The global xylitol market is expected to reach USD 1.37 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc.

The change in lifestyle and unhealthy eating habits have led to an increase in the rate of obesity and body mass index (BMI). It has been found that about 18% of the adult population is growing obese with the highest population from the US, owing to unhealthy eating habits and lack of exercise.

According to the report, one driver in the market is increasing concern for a healthy lifestyle. The changing urban lifestyle has driven the acceptance of healthy living, globally. The growing awareness of consumers regarding a healthy lifestyle has urged them to understand the credentials of the product. Every ingredient in a packaged food product is scrutinized before consumption. This helps the consumers to make a conscious choice regarding the consumption of the product that comes with benefits such as natural ingredients and improved formulations.

Further, the report states that one challenge in the market is intense threat of substitutes. Xylitol E967 can be easily replaced with other sugar alcohols such as sorbitol, lactitol, mannitol, erythritol, and maltitol. Sweeteners such as sorbitol are more commonly used as sugar substitutes as they are more cost-effective than xylitol, which justifies the larger market for sorbitol. Apart from sugar alcohols, high-intensity sweeteners such as Sodium saccharin, aspartame, acesulfame potassium (Ace-K), sucralose, neotame, and advantame are extensively used in food products such as confectioneries, soft drinks, powdered drink mixes, canned food, jams and jellies, and dairy products among other food and beverages.

Xylitol E967 health benefits

Xylitol E967 Benefits Tooth

Like all sugar alcohols Xylitol is not metabolized by bacteria in the mouth and so it does not contribute to tooth decay. In fact clinical trials have shown it to be very beneficial in dental hygiene, it tends to reduce plaque and delay the onset of tooth decay. It appears to be far superior in this regard than other sugar alcohols, such as Sorbital. Test after test have demonstrated it’s effectiveness in reducing caries, bacteria in the gums and plaque.

Source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2676064/

Though largely preventable, tooth decay (cavities) is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases among both adults and children, with 1 in 5 Americans reported to have untreated cavities according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

By providing fuel for acid-forming bacteria in the mouth, sugar consumption sets up an ideal acidic condition that promotes decay and demineralization of teeth. Xylitol, conversely, is non-fermentable and does not feed acid-forming oral bacteria. Regular use of xylitol causes cavity-forming bacteria, most notably Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans ), to starve and die off by as much as 73%, decreasing the level of acidic byproducts formed when bacteria ferment sugars.

Considerable research conducted since the early 1970s has established that consuming xylitol products results in reduction in tooth decay rates ranging from 30% up to levels in excess of 80%. Xylitol-sweetened gum even reduces transmission of cavity-causing bacteria from mother to child.

According to newer research, the number of exposures to xylitol throughout the day is more important than the quantity of xylitol. Consider chewing xylitol gum after each meal, sweetening your tea or coffee with xylitol granules and using xylitol toothpaste once or twice a day.

Xylitol E967 Benefits Diabetes

Because xylitol is slowly emptied from the stomach, and only about 50% of it is absorbed, it has negligible effects on blood sugar and insulin secretion. Xylitol has a considerably lower glycemic index (13) when compared with sucrose (65) and glucose (100). It even compares favorably with foods such as legumes and milk.

In a recent animal study examining the antidiabetic potential of xylitol, animals fed xylitol had significantly better glucose tolerance (more stable blood sugar levels), less weight gain and significantly lower food intake (suppressed appetite) than both the sugar and control groups. Data from this study and others confirm that xylitol is an ideal low-calorie sweetener for people with diabetes, metabolic syndrome, obesity, and other metabolic disorders.

Of course, like stevia, xylitol can be used by anyone to help maintain low blood sugar and insulin levels, thereby reducing risk of age-related disease.

Xylitol E967 Side Effects

Is Xylitol bad for you?

Depending on your digestive system, eating xylitol can have a laxative effect. This is purely based on a person’s particular body and how much xylitol it is able to process. However, it is good to know that our bodies naturally produce xylitol. With a normal metabolism it will produce up to fifteen grams of xylitol each day. This indicates that generally the body understands what to do with xylitol.

Xylitol and pregnancy

Xylitol is safe for children and adults, as well as women who are nursing or pregnant.

Can xylitol cause headaches and diarrhea?

If you consume more than 40 grams of xylitol a day, you may experience stomach discomfort and diarrhea

Can Xylitol cause cancer or tumors?

One of the concerns I have heard several times is that xylitol has been found to cause tumors or Cancer.

Some recent studies are beginning to connect certain sugar alcohol directly to tumor growth as well. A May 2016 Swedish study published in the journal Oncotarget made the connection between erythritol and Gioblastoma (GBM), a highly aggressive form of brain cancer that forms from the star-shaped cells that make up the supportive tissue of the brain.

At the same time, studies as far back as the late 70’s (when the substance was first being introduced) tied xylitol to not only gallbladder issues but also tumor growth in mice. Xylitol is manufactured using hydrogenation as well as the use of the carcinogenic heavy metal nickel. Granted, scattered evidence shows that xylitol may prevent tooth decay, but is this really worth the cancer risk?

Is Xylitol E967 safe for children?

In recommended dosage amounts, xylitol is generally considered safe, says the University of Michigan Health System. Excessive doses of xylitol can cause side effects like intestinal gas and diarrhea. However, if children take doses larger than 30 grams daily, it can cause more severe side effects than in adults, warns the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Monitor your child’s xylitol intake, and talk with his pediatrician if he displays any side effects.

Is Xylitol dangerous to dogs?

Xylitol is often fatal to dogs. According to the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center, the number of cases of xylitol toxicosis in dogs has significantly increased since the first reports in 2002. Dogs that have eaten foods containing xylitol (greater than 100 milligrams of xylitol consumed per kilogram of bodyweight) have presented with low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), which can be life-threatening. Low blood sugar can result in a loss of coordination, depression, collapse and seizures in as little as 30 minutes. Intake of doses of xylitol (greater than 500 to 1000 mg/kg bodyweight) has been implicated in liver failure in dogs, which can be fatal.

Is Xylitol Harmful to Cats?

According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, xylitol is toxic to animals. In cats it can prompt a sudden release of insulin, resulting in low blood sugar, a condition known as hypoglycemia. Signs that your cat may have swallowed a product containing xylitol include a sudden lack of coordination, vomiting, lethargy and, eventually, seizures and possibly coma. Ultimately a cat that eats xylitol may end up with liver failure, resulting in death.

Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose

What is sodium carboxymethylcellulose？

Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose is the sodium salt of Carboxymethyl cellulose, also called Sodium CMC (Sodium CarboxymethylCellulose) or CMC. Carboxymethylcellulose is a representative cellulose ethers, its sodium salt used widely in food industry, CMC belongs to anionic polymer electrolyte, besides Sodium CMC, it has other salts, such as ammonium and aluminum CMC salts.

Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose E466 can be used as a thickener in food and has the functions of thickening, suspending, emulsifying, stabilizing and etc. Sodium CMC can replace the use of guar gum E412, gelatin, Agar Agar E406, sodium alginate E401 and pectin E440. It is widely used in food industry, such as frozen food, solid drink, fruit juice, jam, lactic acid drinks, condiment, biscuit, instant noodles, bakery products, meat products, etc.

Other information about Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose:

CAS Number: 9004-32-4

HS code: 391231

E Number: E466

Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose Properties

Appearance

Sodium CMC is odorless, tasteless, non-toxic white powder or micro-yellow fibrous in pure state.

Solubility

Sodium CMC is easy to absorb moisture, it dissolves easily in cold or hot water as colloidal solution, it can’t dissolve in many organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, acetone, chloroform, benzene and so on.

CarboxymethylCellulose CMC is not easy to dissolve in water. It is water-absorbent and has very high water retention, and therefore clumps easily. To prevent this, add CMC slowly in small portions, allowing to dissolve completely between each addition.

Degree of Substitution (DS) of Carboxymethylcellulose is an important factor affects its water solubility property, the viscosity property can also affect its water solubility. Sodium CMC is usually alkali when viscosity value between 25mPa.s-50000mPa.s. Degree of Substitution (DS) is about 0.3. Sodium CMC is water-soluble when its Degree of Substitution (DS) is more than 0.4. With the increasing of Degree of Substitution (DS), the transparency of the Sodium CMC water solution becomes much better. Like other macromolecule dielectric, when Sodium CMC dissolving, the first phenomenon is expansion, and then dissolve gradually. In preparation solution, the particles should be uniform wetting, then the Sodium CMC can be dissolved quickly. Otherwise, Sodium CMC are expansion in water solution, the particles form a strong involucres or plastic coating, so that the particles scattered difficulty resulting dissolution difficulty.

Viscosity

Sodium CMC viscosity is the specific performance of Polymerization Degree of the cellulose, it depends on the average degree of materials cellulose, and the degradation of polymerization degree in the course of basification and etherification reaction, including the reaction uniformity. With the increase of its concentration, Sodium CMC viscosity will go up and the increase trend was similar to a straight line. Viscosity have relative with the polymerization degree of the cellulose and its distribution, but also have relative with the solution concentration, pH value, temperature, velocity gradient, Degree of Substitution (DS) and so on.

Different Viscosity with different uses in food. And there are many Sodium CMC grade in the market according to different purity, Degree of Substitution and Viscosity. Our Sodium CMC grades as follows:

Type	Viscosity	Uses Area
Type 6	Low Viscosity (2% 25-400)	Cold products, quick-frozen food, solid beverage, fruit juice, jam, sauce, soup, biscuits, instant noodles, baking goods and meat products, etc.
	Medium Viscosity (2% 400-2000)
	High Viscosity (1% 200-9000)
	Ultra High Viscosity (1% 9000-15000)	Food fields where there should be ultra-high requirement on viscosity
Type 9	Low Viscosity (2% 25-400)	Lactic acid beverage, yogurt products
	Medium Viscosity (2% 400-2000)
	High Viscosity (1% 200-7000)

China Aspartame Export Report: Aspartame Manufacturers, Price, Quantity

Aspartame price has increased a little since Oct, 2017 due to the decreased market Aspartame supply and one China Aspartame manufacturer exit the market in 2017. With the China government strict control in environment protection, the price of many food ingredients/additives are increasing or has increased since 2015. It also happens in Aspartame industry, raw materials supply is short and the price going up, as well as other artificial sweeteners products such as in Sodium Saccharin, Acesulfame Potassium, Sodium Cyclamate, Sucralose, Neotame.

China Aspartame price trend

Now there are three Aspartame manufactures in China after one manufacturer exit the market. The price of Aspartame seems stable. We’ll talk more about aspartame and the market in this article. Let’s briefly introduce other artificial sweeteners price: Sodium Saccharin, increased since 2015, rushed to more than USD10/kg in 2017, now the price goes down. Sucralose, the price was more or less USD80/kg in last year. Now the price of Acesulfame Potassium and Sodium Cyclamate are also increasing.

Aspartame use and application in market

Application Field	Market Percentage
Beverage industry	75
Table top sweeteners	8
Low-calorie confectionary	5
Dairy industry-functional food products	5
Others (Chewing gum, pharmaceuticals, fruit mixtures, diabetic products, functional food products)	7

Aspartame is an artificial sweetener that the sweet is more closely to sugar compared with other artificial sweeteners: Sodium Saccharin, Acesulfame Potassium, Sodium Cyclamate, Sucralose and Neotame. With the E number E951, it is used widely in global food and drink market. Aspartame used little in pharmaceutical market, we estimate less than 5% of its total consumption.

Aspartame is used widely in drink and beverage, it takes around 75% of its total consumption;

Aspartame takes around 8% in table top sweeteners. Table top sweeteners are package sweetener that you can choose to add in your food and beverage. There are many kinds of artificial sweetener table top sweeteners: only aspartame, only acesulfame K, aspartame together with Acesulfame K, only sucralose…

It takes around 5% in the low-calorie confectionery. Low-calorie confectionery is better for tooth health and weight control.

It takes around 5% in dairy products.

In the application of chewing gum, fruits, pharmaceuticals, aspartame takes around 7% of its total use quantity.

Aspartame benefits and its market trend

With the tendency of no sugar/no calorie products in the market, we think aspartame consumption will grow a little or keep stable although 1) Some controversy the aspartame side effects can cause cancer in mouse. 2) Artificial sweeteners might be replaced by stevia or monk fruits sweeteners in future.

As aspartame almost generate zero calorie compared with sugar. It provides same level sweet with sugar while do not influence the blood sugar, so it can also be taken by diabetes. Other benefits of aspartame also like protect tooth decay and control weight.

Aspartame global manufacturers analysis

Manufacturer	Capacity
China manufacturers	18000
Ajinomoto, Japan	4000
Hyetsweet, France	2000
Daseang	1000

We estimate:

Global Aspartame production capacity: 25000MT

China’s manufacturers production capacity: 18000MT Rate: 72%

Foreign manufacturers production capacity: 7000MT Rate: 26%

China Aspartame Export Quantity and Price in 2016

China Aspartame Export Quantity and Price in 2017 (Jan-July)

Factors influence China Aspartame Export Quantity

China Aspartame manufacturers export quantity in the year 2014 increased 1450MT compared with year 2013. USA aspartame manufacturer Nutrasweet decreased the production due to the fierce competition from ChinaAspartame manufacturers. So the China export quantity increased to replace some market of Nutrasweet. And in early 2015, Nutrasweet stopped the production.

You can see China AspartameAspartame export quantity in the year 2015 increased 1200MT compared with year 2014. We think this most part of 1200MT is for Nutrasweet market.

The quantity in year 2016 almost the same level with 2015. The Europe Commission established the aspartame anti-dumping case in early 2015 and the anti-dumping was confirmed in Feb, 2016 after the investigation although three China big aspartame manufacturers tried their best to let the official of European Union know that there should be no the anti-dumping…

Regularly, the buying quantity from Europe is around 2400-2500MT per year. Now the quantity decreases to around 800-900MT due to the anti-dumping. If the anti-dumping cancelled, China Aspartame export quantity would be around 17000MT annually.

Factors influence China Aspartame Manufacturers Export Price

With the oversupply maket situation, aspartame price goes down year by year, regardless, it is a bad for China Aspartame manufacturers, especially for the small factory. And one or two small and new factories closed due to the fierce competition.

With the anti-dumping confirmed, the competition is more fierce and the price went down down…

We reckon the main reason that leads to aspartame export price going down as follows:

The oversupply market situation made most Aspartame manufacturers/suppliers had to decreased the price to get the orders to keep the factory running.
The bank loan interest from 2013-2015 is at lowest and for the enterprice, it is easy to loan the money from the bank.
Hard to enter into Europe market since Feb, 2016, manufacturers/suppliers had to decrease the price for other market to keep the factory running.

Aspartame Price Forecast

There is no doubt that the price of aspartame will increase as below two main reasons:

Market supply: We estimate aspartame market supply will decrease around 4,000MT per year due to some Aspartame manufacturers decrease their production or some even exit the market.
Raw materials cost: almost the price of every raw material is increasing, like L-Aspartic acid and Acetic Anhydride.

Aspartame types distribution in the market

There are mainly 5 aspartame types in the market. Aspartame Powder, Aspartame Granular, Aspartame Fine Granular, Aspartame HDP, and Aspartame Super Fine powder. The market distribution as follows:

Aspartame type	Sales percentage
Aspartame Powder	65
Aspartame Granular	10
Aspartame Fine Granular	10

EU Anti-Dumping duty on China Aspartame

When and why the anti-dumping case was established

The case was applied by Ajinomoto Europe in May,2015. As it known to all, Ajinomoto is a good supplier of Activa TG enzyme, MSG, Aspartame and other related products, the header office is located in Japan.

It has an Aspartame factory in France, the equipment is advanced and equipped with around 120 workers. But it closed in 2014 due to the high comepetion from China suppliers. The price levels between China aspartame and Ajinomoto has a big gap. For example, if China aspartame price is $11.0/kg, Ajinomoto’s $16.5/kg. You can estimate that some market is in hand of China suppliers, especially some big end users, like Coca-Cola, Pepsico, Mondelez and so on. So that’s one reason that the anti-dumping case was established.

Why China’s price is lower much

China is a fast grow country, and with little restriction in environment control many chemical companies sprout out, including Aspartame business. There are around six aspartame manufacturers in China, Yamei is a professional one since 1998.

The main raw materials manufacturing Aspartame is L-Phenylalanine and L-Aspartic Acid. With corn and oil price going down, these two materials price is going down accordingly.

In the market aspartame mainly have two type, powder and granular. The differance that make a buyer to choose is the mesh size and solubility. Mesh size no difference with Ajinomoto, but the solubility of China aspartame is very slow than Ajinomoto. China aspartame need 10 minutes to dissolve plus the stirring while Ajinomoto’s need only 1 minutes to dissolve with stirring. That’s the main differance make China price lower much.

How suppliers and buyers react to the anti-dumping result?

China suppliers would ask CCPIT for help, to negotiate with EU investigators. And aslo prepare to fight the case again. China’s export is around 3,000 MT per year, so if China lose EU market, which market should this 3,000 MT goes? Definitely this volume will go to other market making the competition more fierce as a result of price goes down all the way…

For EU buyers, they almost cannot accept the result, that means they have to buy Ajinomoto aspartame, which makes their business profit decreases, or someone will give up aspartame business.

As for Ajinomoto, it is a good news to restart their factory.

May anti-dumping in USA?

Once the case established in last May, Ajinomoto sold its factory to Hyetsweet, a sweeteners distributor in Europe. It seems that Ajinomoto applied the case just want to sell its factory? Aspartame is a controversial product that some people always say it can cause cancer, so maybe Ajinomoto do not pay more attention on it, in addition to its dreasing price year by year.

But we heard that Ajinomoto intended to buy Nutrasweet USA plant, which was closed in last March. And Ajinomoto would also like to apply the anti-dumping against the China aspartame in USA.

Let us see if it is true and how it happens.

What is aspartame?

Aspartame Character

Aspartame, E951, Cas number 22839-47-0, chemical formular C14H18N2O5.

IUPAC name: Methyl L-α-aspartyl-L-phenylalaninate, other name N-(L-α-Aspartyl)-L-phenylalanine,
1-methyl ester, as a low calorie artificial sweetener used wildly in food and beverage as sugar replacement.

The sweetness is around 200 times than sugar compared with 5% sugar solution.

It is a methyl ester of Methanol,L-aspartic acid and phenylalanine.So it is more like a protein and safe to human beings.

Side effects

Many people hold the opinion that aspartame is not safe because they think it can cause cancer though aspartame was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1974. Aspartame may cause the disease of Eye, Ear, Neurologic, Psychological/Psychiatric, Chest, Gastrointestinal, Skin and Allergies, Endocrine and Metabolic, Additional Symptoms of Aspartame Toxicity include the most critical symptoms of all death, Aspartame may trigger, mimic and so on.

Brands

Aspartame was first sold under the Nutrasweet brand in USA, it is Yamei in China market since 1998.

Market

The global consumption it around 20,000 MT per year, China manufacturers contribute16,000MT. Now Nutrasweet has stopped producing from March, 2015.

In the market the main type of Aspartame are powder 100mesh, granular 20-60mesh, fine granular 50-100mesh, high density powder 100-150mesh, 200mesh, super fine powder 300mesh…

The price of aspartame is going down year by year as the capacity in china is enlarged but currently it is stable, and the government is more strict in environment protection, so we think it will be go up slightly.

Pepsico has stopped use aspartame in its diet drink since this August to recover its sales, but the sales without aspartame is not good as expected.

Anti-dumping

The anti-dumping case was applied by Ajinomoto Europe sweetener in May,2015.

Aspartame market competition becoming more fierce, and the price goes down year by year. This situation not only happens in China, but in other countries. Especially in Europe, France Aspartame manufacturer Ajinomoto Europe sweetener has to closed the factory as the low profit, competitive price from China, around half. Now a Netherland company HYET Holding B.V. has purchased Ajinomoto Sweeteners Europe S.A.S. (ASE), as part of their global expansion.

China’s acesulfame potassium industry report

As Acesulfame K anti-dumping case announced that Europ buyers have to pay high taxes if they want to import Acesulfame Potassium from three big China manufacturers. But the price is still much lower than buy from Celanese, Sunett sweeteners, located in Europe.

It’s Customers choice to buy from China manufacturers or Celanese, but many clients still would like to buy from China, as buyers are accustomed with China Acesulfame k and its cheap price, like Aspartame. But this situation makes the sales competition more fierce in China market. The taxes of Hope and Jinhe are higher than Vitasweet, so many buyers would turn to Vitasweet. Jinhe and Hope has to drop the price if they want to keep the marrket share as usual, but it seems no use as the tax gap is too much around USD3.0/kg.

Ajinomoto Sells French Sweetener Aspartame Business to HYET

by Robin Wyers

22 Sep 2015 — HYET Holding B.V. has announced the purchase of Ajinomoto Sweeteners Europe S.A.S. (ASE) in Northern France for a reported token fee, as part of their global expansion. The purchase will ensure all employees at the Gravelines manufacturing site will remain in employment. A trust fund has been set up to ensure security for the factory employees following some initial worries about job cuts from trade unions.

Ajinomoto announced some time ago that it would consolidate production of aspartame, to its largest production facility at Tokai in Japan, in order to enhance the efficiency of its sweetener operation. This is the final step of this process. Ailbhe Fallon, a spokesperson for Ajinomoto said that the global market for aspartame has been stable over the past three years, albeit prices have edged lower; maintaining cost efficiency is essential for the sustainability of Ajinomoto’s sweeteners business.

The Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) was signed yesterday by both parties for 100% of the shares of ASE to be transferred from Ajinomoto Co., Inc. (Ajinomoto Co.) to HYET Holding B.V.. The corporate name of ASE will change to HYET Sweet S.A.S. and the share transfer date is set to be finalized on October 1, 2015.

“HYET will be adding European Manufacturing to their portfolio and implementing backward integration to offer customers consistent supply of high quality sweeteners,” Zoë Ellis, Global Marketing and Communications Manager at HYET.

“We are delighted to be able to preserve the Gravelines site and secure a future for all employees. The purchase of ASE will take our company to an exiting new phase. HYET Sweet is one of the leading suppliers of sweeteners in Europe and sells in over 35 countries. With the extensive market experience of HYET Sweet and the expertise in manufacturing of the Gravelines site, we are confident we will strengthen our position in the global sweeteners market,” said Ad Timmermans, CEO of HYET Group.

The Gravelines site was established in 1991 and has been producing Aspartame since 1993. The site was initially named Euro-Aspartame S.A. and owned 50:50 by USA’s NutraSweet and Ajinomoto Co.. It has been Ajinomoto Co.’s 100% subsidiary since 2000 and re-named Ajinomoto Sweeteners Europe S.A.S. in 2006.

HYET Holding B.V. is a sister company of HYET Sweet B.V., which is headquartered in Breda, the Netherlands. HYET Sweet was founded in 2009 and since then has specialised in the supply of sweeteners, which include: Aspartame, Sucralose, Acesulfame-K and Stevia. HYET Sweet has warehouses in the Netherlands, North-America and Canada and sells in over 35 countries.

Ellis noted that the company believes there is a market for Aspartame as well as the other High Intensity Sweeteners such as Acesulfame-K and Sucralose. “For many major brands, use of Aspartame as an ingredient is still dominating due to their diet brands expanding into new markets. Aspartame comes close to the taste profile of sugar and is still one of the sweeteners of choice for many leading companies,” she noted.

Fallon said that Ajinomoto is very confident that the future is very bright for AminoSweet Aspartame and Advantame. “At a time when there is very real and legitimate concern about the public health consequences of overweight and obesity, aspartame is an important tool enabling the food industry to deliver sweetness without calories, in products which are chosen by millions of people all around the world every day,” she stated.

Kosher Certified L-Carnitine L-Tartrate

Kosher L-Carnitine L-Tartrate

L-Carnitine L-Tartrate is a stable form of L-Carnitine manufactured through chemical synthesis from L-Carnitine and L-Tartaric Acid. As a synthesized chemical, L-Carnitine L-Tartrate is general recognized as Kosher classified as Parve. L-Carnitine L-Tartrate Pareve non-Passover KLBD. Kosher L-Carnitine L-Tartrate has been used as a food additives and we have been supplying Kosher L-Carnitine L-Tartrate for many years.

What is Kosher L-Carnitine L-Tartrate?

Kosher is a Hebrew word that means fit, proper or correct. Nowadays, it is mostly used to describe food and drink that complies with Jewish religious dietary law. For a product to be kosher certified each ingredient, food additive and processing aid used in its production must also be kosher.

In addition, all kosher food can be grouped into three categories-meat, dairy or pareve (neutral). Kosher law prohibits the mixing of meat and milk, so foods like cheeseburgers and chicken parmesan are unacceptable.

Dairy – Milk, cheese and other dairy products must come from a kosher animal in order to be kosher. Milk derivatives like casein are considered dairy when used in kosher foods, even though the USDA may classify them as “non-dairy.”

Meat – Only meat and meat by-products from kosher species of animals are permitted, and then only if they are slaughtered by a specially trained “shochet” (ritual slaughterer). Kosher species include cattle, sheep, chicken and turkey.

Pareve – Some foods are inherently kosher in their natural state such as fresh fruits, vegetables and grains. These foods, produced without meat or dairy content, are designated with the pareve status and may be eaten with either dairy or meat products.

PASSOVER HOLIDAY

Passover is an 8-day holiday that takes place in the spring and commemorates the Exodus of the Jewish people from ancient Egypt. It involves a unique set of additional kosher laws. During Passover, those who keep kosher refrain from eating leavened products. Although kosher the rest of the year, certain grain products and their derivatives may not be eaten during Passover. Special supervision is mandatory for Passover production.
