The International Society of Beverage Technologists is pleased to present this important seminar regarding the latest information about sweeteners. If you are involved in new product development, quality control, sanitation or auditing you won't want to miss this special presentation given on Thursday April 29th, immediately following Bevtech '10.
Industry experts will be addressing the complete range of sweeteners used in today's beverage industry around the world. You will not only hear about the latest standards and methods for using these sweeteners but you will have the opportunity to taste and discuss their applications in a number of beverage products.
The range of sweeteners under discussion will include sucrose, and invert syrups, high fructose and dextrose syrups, high intensity syrups including aspartame, saccharin, and sucralose. In addition we will review next generation products such as Stevia, erythritol, agave, brazzein and thaumatin. Not only will these sweeteners be discussed individually, but their use in blends of mixed product types will also be reviewed.
If you are involved in sweeteners; if you are looking at new products involving blends of new sweeteners or are looking at formulation products to take advantage of the new ingredients available you can't miss this seminar.
