Reduce Sugar with Non-GMO Crystalline Fructose

Formulation Insights
Austrade Inc.

Unlock the power of nature with Austrade’s Non-GMO Project Verified Crystalline Fructose — a natural, nutritive sweetener with a low GI score of approximately 20, made from 100% beet sugar rather than corn. Specifically, it delivers a superior clean, non-lingering taste that outperforms even table sugar across a wide range of Food & Beverage formulations.

Austrade’s Non-GMO Crystalline Fructose provides natural flavor, improved texture and solubility, moisture retention, and both calorie and sugar reduction. Because this product is approximately 1.5x sweeter than sucrose (table sugar), smaller amounts are required across formulations — making it highly cost effective for large-scale production.

Furthermore, crystalline fructose combines easily with other sweeteners and starches to deliver excellent mouthfeel. Its high solubility makes it ideal for formulations that require a high concentration of sweetening power without the risk of crystallization. In addition, its low water activity feature improves shelf life while increasing microbial stability — and its high water binding capacity improves moisture retention and freshness across baked goods.
