Layn Corp., which is based in China, has been developing this new variety of monk fruit for quite some time. The company said it has been increasing the sweetness component from 0.3% to 0.5% in the past 10 years, and its 2020 goal is to increase it to 1%.Layn partnered with Swiss flavor and fragrance company Firmenich last year to distribute natukandungan ferrous fumarate folic acidral sweeteners. The deal was seen as a firm foothold for Firmenich to distribute monk fruit and stevia extracts in international markets and for key Layn customers in China.

The company noted it has long-standing relationships with farmers in the area and is able to maintain control over its supply chain.Layn is not alone in developing natural sweeteners from monk fruit. According to Food Insight, the sweetener is showing up in soft drinks, juices, dairy products, desserts, candies and condiments under the brand names Nectresse from McNeil Nutritionals, PureLo from Swanson, Purefruit made by Tate & Lyle, Fruit-Sweetness from BioVittoria and Monk Fruit in the Raw by In the Raw Sweeteners.Utah-based Lakanto, part of Japan’s Sarayagentle iron vs ferrous sulfate Co., Ltd., has recently expanded the reach of its monk fruit products from the U.S., Canada and Asia into Australia and New Zealannovo ferrous gluconate 300 mgd., and California firm Senomyx is developing a monk fruit-based sweetener it calls siratose.As production increases and monk fruit appears in more food and beverage items, chances are Layn and other suppliers will have plenty of work ahead to keep up with demand.
