A Revolutionary Stevia
Growing Program
Coming soon...
Almendra has patented an innovative new method based on greenhouse photobiology technology for growing stevia at commercial scale year-around as a perennial rather than an annual crop.
Almendra is currently planning to implement the patented growing technology outside of China.
This will allow our clients to have an alternative sourced origin.
Taste Modulation System G™
An innovative new technology to enhance "mouthfeel" in sugar-reduced beverages
In 2019, Almendra filed for a series of patents for an innovative new technology to reduce sweetness linger and boost "mouthfeel" in sugar-reduced beverages.
Taste Modulation System G™ improves several taste aspects in beverages that use natural high potency sweeteners (HPS) such as stevia leaf extracts, but also those using aspartame, sucralose and other artificial HPS.
Taste Modulation System G™ has been found to improve sweetness onset and mitigate any lingering sweetness. At the same time this natural FEMA GRAS material improves mouthfeel.
Cost-effective and natural, our Taste Modulation System G™ offers an effective mechanism-of-action based tool for all beverage developers.
We create and manufacture botanically sourced, high purity ingredients that deliver consistent clean taste and allow a clean label that is attractive to consumers.
