How We Help

Clean Label

Fructose, D-Xylose and Xylitol are naturally occurring and found in many fruits and vegetables. Many of our rare sugars are naturally derived and extracted from plant biomass using a solvent-free process.

Plant-Based

Aside from Lactitol which is sourced from lactose (milk sugar), our range is extracted from plants: non-GMO sugar beets for Fructofin® fructose, and hardwoods for D-Xylose, XIVIA^® xylitol, and rare sugars.

Better Nutrition

Reduced calories and low glycemic responses make our sweeteners suitable for diabetics and weight-management food and beverages.

Sustainability

DuPont™ Danisco® XIVIA® xylitol range applies the principles of the circular economy. It has a 80% to 93% lower footprint for carbon, water, and land use compared with conventional corn-based xylitol.

Our sweeteners support at least three of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
