Portland, OR. Like spices or flavors, each sweetener imparts its own taste and functional properties, and incorporating them into product applications can be tricky,” said Thom King, president of Steviva Ingredients. “We have developed a custom sweetening solution system for food & beverage professionals to essentially take the mystery out of working with high-intensity sweeteners to deliver innovative, naturally sweetened products in an expedient, cost-effective manner.”

The custom sweetening solutions offered by Steviva are based upon a specially modified pharmaceutical-grade Fluid Air hammer mill, from which specific, customizable combinations of all-natural sweeteners can be processed. “We affectionately call it ‘The Beast’,” said King. “It has enabled us to offer our customers extremely precise, custom sweetening blends with particle sizes ranging from 30 mesh, all the way to 300 mesh.”
