Three Ingredients. Each Built for a Specific Job.

Trehalove™ protects texture and extends shelf life. SteviPura™ delivers clean sweetness without compromise. FusionSweet™ combines both into a single sugar-reduction system. Each product is distinct — choose the one that fits your formulation challenge.

Functional trehalose for food formulation — supporting texture, moisture management and product stability.

High-purity Reb M for clean sweetness and reduced-sugar food and beverage development

An integrated sweetening system designed to reduce sugar while supporting taste, bulk and functionality.

Ingredient technology designed around real formulation and manufacturing challenges.

Sweetly Group was founded in 2010 on a straightforward premise: the food industry needed better sweetener ingredients — not just sweeter ones. We are a specialised biotechnology manufacturer, producing fermentation-derived and high-purity natural sweetener ingredients for food manufacturers, ingredient distributors, and F&B brands operating at commercial scale.

Our production facilities in Northern Ireland and São Paulo, Brazil operate under ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation and GMP certification. Every batch is traceable from substrate to finished powder. Our R&D team works directly with customer NPD functions — not just to supply an ingredient, but to help it perform in the specific context of your product and process.


Performance Through Application

Performance depends on the application. Formulation trials establish the right dosage and functionality for each product.

Three Ingredients. Three Different Jobs.

Trehalove™ protects texture and locks in moisture. SteviPura™ delivers clean sweetness with no bitterness. FusionSweet™ does both at once. Each is made differently, tested differently, and used differently.

98%+

Purity Across All Products

Most sweetener suppliers test occasionally. We test every batch, using HPLC — the gold standard in analytical chemistry. You get an ingredient you can trust, and a Certificate of Analysis to prove it.

Sauces & Gravies — Emulsion Stability

65% better emulsion stability. Four times longer hot-holding at 65°C. Fewer consistency complaints in foodservice.

Baked Goods — Volatile Aroma Retention

92% aroma retention after 6 months frozen — 40% higher than the control. Trehalove™ protects volatile flavour compounds through every freeze-thaw cycle.

Frozen Vegetables — Chlorophyll Stability

50% better chlorophyll stability — vibrancy held for 180 days. 85% less browning. Three times longer display life in prepared salads.

Fresh Pasta — Surface Starch Control

78% less starch retrogradation over 96 hours refrigerated. 62% less surface leaching during cooking — better texture, less waste.


High-purity Reb M for high-intensity sweetness at very low inclusion levels.

SteviPura™ is our 98.6%+ Reb M ingredient — verified by HPLC on every batch. 200–350× sweeter than sucrose. Effective at just 0.02–0.04% in beverages. Heat-stable to 200°C. No masking agents. No compromises.

Stevia has 40+ glycosides. Most use Reb A — bitter at scale. Reb M is rarer, under 1% of the leaf, and the only one that truly tastes like sugar. Clean onset. No delay. No bitterness.


Different steviol glycosides have different sensory profiles. Choosing the right specification is critical to final taste.

Why Reb M?

Reb M offers a clean sweetness profile, making it a strong option for advanced sugar-reduction formulations.

Reb M doesn't do that. It's the rarest glycoside in the stevia leaf — less than 1% of the plant — and the only one that tastes genuinely like sugar from start to finish. No correction needed. No masking agents. Just clean sweetness.

  • Minimum 95% Reb M purity (HPLC-validated)
  • Zero bitterness at functional usage levels
  • 200–350× the sweetness of sucrose
  • Calorie-free and suitable for diabetic-friendly labelling
  • Non-GMO and clean-label compliant
  • Available in crystal powder and liquid concentrate formats

SteviPura™ Where It Works and

Why

SteviPura™ is effective across a wide range of food and beverage categories. The following outlines typical usage contexts, recommended application ranges, and category-specific performance notes.

Beverages

Zero-sugar carbonated drinks, functional waters, sports drinks, cold brew coffee, and RTD teas. Effective at 0.02–0.04% inclusion — significantly lower than bulk sweeteners. Heat-stable through hot-fill processing. Compatible with citric acid and natural flavour systems.

Dairy & Frozen Desserts

Low-sugar yogurts, ice creams, protein shakes, and flavoured milks. SteviPura™ is compatible with dairy protein systems and does not interfere with fermentation cultures. When combined with Trehalove™, it supports complete sugar reduction in dairy without texture compromise.

Bakery & Snacks

Heat-stable to 200°C — maintains sweetness profile through oven baking, extrusion, and hot-fill processing. Suitable for cookies, granola bars, protein snacks, and better-for-you cereal formulations. Does not contribute to Maillard browning at standard inclusion levels.

Cosmetics & Oral Care

Food-grade purity makes SteviPura™ suitable for toothpaste, mouthwash, lip balm, and edible cosmetic applications. Its antimicrobial properties provide additional functional value in oral care formulations. Available in liquid concentrate format for ease of incorporation.


Three Components. One Sweetening System.



FusionSweet™ solves this in one addition. Trehalove™ trehalose handles moisture and texture. SteviPura™ Reb M delivers clean sweetness at low levels. Beet Raw sugar provides the bulk and mouthfeel. Together: up to 50% sucrose replacement, without the complexity.

FusionSweet™ Built for Reformulation

100%

One integrated system designed to make sugar-reduction development simpler for R&D and NPD teams.


99%

Every Ingredient Has a Name Your Customers Recognise

Trehalose. Stevia leaf extract. Beet sugar. All three components are clean-label declarable. No E-numbers, no synthetic additives, nothing that needs explaining on pack.

50%

Designed for Reduced-Sugar Development

A flexible formulation platform for developing foods with less conventional sugar.

35%

Longer on the Shelf

Products stay fresher for longer — not because we added a preservative, but because trehalose binds moisture at the molecular level. Less staling. Less oxidation. Less waste. Proven in accelerated ageing studies against sucrose-only controls.

Better Ingredients. Not a Bigger Bill.

FusionSweet™ replaces multiple additives in a single ingredient. When procurement teams run the full cost comparison — sweetener plus masking agents plus bulking agents — FusionSweet™ typically comes out ahead. Better formulation economics, not just better formulation performance.

Great Baking Starts With What's Inside.

FusionSweet™ doesn't just replace sugar — it outperforms it


THE SCIENCE OF BAKERY REFORMULATION

Moisture Retention

Trehalose's unique hydrogen-bonding capacity retains water at the molecular level — extending freshness 2–3× beyond sucrose-based formulations.

Maillard Enhancement

Controlled Maillard kinetics deliver consistent golden-brown colour and complex flavour development — without the risk of over-caramelisation.

Freeze-Thaw Stability

Vitrification mechanism maintains structural integrity through unlimited freeze-thaw cycles. No ice crystal damage. No texture loss.

Clean Label Baking

Replace artificial humectants, preservatives, and stabilizers with one natural ingredient. FusionSweet™ does it all.

Thermal Stability

Full molecular integrity maintained to 177°C (350°F). Precise Maillard reaction control. Consistent results, every batch.

Moisture Mastery

Polysaccharide hydrogen-bonding prevents moisture migration and staling. Products stay fresher, longer — naturally.

45–60 Day Shelf Life Extension

Water activity modulation and antioxidant stabilization inhibit retrogradation and microbial growth — preserving texture, flavour, and freshness.

Perfect Golden Results

Controlled browning kinetics deliver the ideal golden crust and complex flavour profile that consumers expect from premium baked goods.

FusionSweet™ Sweetness Meets Fortification.

Less sugar. More nutrition. One seamless formulation.

Vitamins are fragile. Heat, pH, light, and packaging all affect how much survives to the shelf. We help you validate retention so what's on the label is what's in the product.

Trehalove™ Matrix

Sugar Reduction in Frozen Desserts

Explore sugar reduction while balancing sweetness, body, texture and freezing performance.

Smoother Texture, Every Time

FusionSweet™ reduces free water in the mix, which means smaller ice crystals form during freezing. Smaller crystals mean a creamier, less grainy texture — one that stays that way through freeze-thaw cycles.

It Holds Its Shape Longer

The Trehalove component forms a stable amorphous structure that slows melting at room temperature. In side-by-side consumer tests, FusionSweet™ ice cream outlasted sucrose-only controls — less mess, better experience.

Consistent Scoop, Every Serve

FusionSweet™ keeps firmness and density consistent from the first scoop to the last. For premium and artisan formats where texture is part of the brand promise, that consistency matters.

Formulation Designed for Freshness

FusionSweet™ locks pigments into their stable colour form, stabilises proteins against pH-driven clumping, and keeps drinks clear and consistent from first sip to last.


One Ingredient In. Several Ingredients Out.

What Typically Comes Off the Ingredient List


Most sugar-reduction projects add complexity. FusionSweet™ does the opposite — one ingredient handles sweetness, bulk, moisture, and flavour stability, so several others come off the list.

Artificial Sweeteners

Acesulfame-K and sucralose come off the list. FusionSweet™ delivers the same sweetness intensity with ingredients your customers can actually read on the label.

Flavour Maskers

No bitterness means no bitterness blockers. The Reb M in FusionSweet™ doesn't produce the off-notes that typically need masking — so you don't need to mask them.

Bulking Agents

Maltodextrin in beverage powders can be reduced or removed. The trehalose and beet sugar components provide the body and mouthfeel that high-intensity sweeteners leave behind.

Processing Aids

Anti-stick and oiling steps in confectionery are minimised. Trehalose's moisture-management properties reduce surface stickiness naturally — no additional processing aids required.

35%

Fewer SKUs

Average reduction in specialty additive inventory

A cost you can feel comfortable with

Shorter ingredient lists. Simpler procurement, checking and testing. Less reliance on additional additives. Fusion Sweet™ helps you create a finished product that can command a premium price, while FusionSweet itself is priced close to the sugar you already use.

A balance of performance and value.

From Concept to Application Trial

Test the system in your own formulation. Establish dosage, sensory performance and functionality before scale-up.

Trehalove™ Ambient Bakery Shelf Life

"After switching to Trehalove™ as our moisture-retention system, our grain loaf bread ambient shelf life extended from 14 to 21 days without any change to our clean-label declaration. Our retail buyer feedback has been exceptional." — Senior NPD Manager, European Bakery Group

SteviPura™

Zero-Sugar Beverage Reformulation

"We had tried four different stevia grades before SteviPura™. The Reb M purity made the difference — our zero-sugar sports drink finally tastes like the premium product our brand position demands." — Head of Formulation, Asia-Pacific Beverage Manufacturer

FusionSweet™ Confectionery Sugar Reduction

"Achieving 30% sugar reduction in our Dark Chocolate range without losing mouthfeel or texture was something we believed was years away. FusionSweet™ delivered it in a single reformulation cycle." — VP Innovation, Global Confectionery Brand
