96th ANNUAL NAFFS CONVENTION

October 24-27, 2013

The Resort at Longboat Key Club

Longboat Key, Fla.

 

Presents

 

“Sweet Innovations –
Formulating with Non-Nutritive Sweeteners”


Featuring:

“The Impact of Natural and Artificial High-Intensity Sweeteners

on Global Consumer Products”

Kerry Kenny, Director of Quality and Technical Support

U.S. Niutang Chemical, Inc.

 

It has been estimated that the global market for sugar substitutes will be approximately $13.8 billion in 2018. In 2012 the sugar substitute market was estimated at $10.5 billion.  The high-intensity sweeteners are the big drivers contributing to this projected 3.9 percent annual growth. While currently 49 percent of the market share is in North America, the future growth is pointing to the booming economies in the Asian and Indian markets.

 

This presentation will address challenges with formulating in global food brands, consumer perceptions of artificial vs. natural high-intensity sweeteners and the labeling challenges when marketing a global brand or product.
