Why it wins on shelf

What this does for your brand, not just your batch.

On shelf A cleaner label

A reduced-sugar version with a sugar line shoppers actually read, and a story you can build a pack around. Confirm any on-pack wording with your regulatory review.

Repeat purchase Tastes like the original

The sweet protein carries a clean, sugar-like sweetness, so it still tastes like the product people came back for.

Stand behind it A story you can defend

A sweet protein, digested like other dietary proteins and used at milligram levels, so it adds no sugars. Full safety and regulatory documentation is ready for your quality and regulatory teams.

The idea

Why this one is worth building.

Lemonade lives or dies on a bright, clean sweetness. Sugar carries the body while the sweet protein carries the sweetness, so you can pull most of the sugar out and still pour something that tastes like the real thing, because most of it is.

The recipe

What’s in the pitcher. For 1,000 mL.

Bright, classic lemonade with 65 percent less sugar, sweetened by UnSugar Sweet Protein. It tastes like the real thing because most of it is, and the finish is perfectly clean: no bitter aftertaste, no lingering sweetness.

Where it sits on the label

Water, sugar, lemon, brazzein (sweet protein)

A small use rate keeps a short, clean ingredient statement that ends in brazzein (sweet protein). Illustrative starting formulation; taste it against your own base and confirm any on-pack wording with your regulatory review.

The bar we formulate to

Your panel can’t tell it lost the sugar.

We start from your best full-sugar version, add the sweet protein as one variable, then cut the sugar step by step while the sensory scores hold. These figures are formulation targets our applications team works to, confirmed in your own product by bench testing.

Good questions

The bits your team will ask.

How much sweet protein does this use?+

Very little. UnSugar is 500 to 2,000 times sweeter than sugar, so a little goes a long way. Your applications team confirms the exact amount for your product.

Can we get the full formula sheet?+

Yes. The detailed starter formula, with exact use levels and process notes, is shared with qualified food and beverage teams. Request the technical documents and tell us the application.

Do you help us formulate it?+

That is the plan. Request Samples, and our applications team works the first bench trial with you, dials in the dose and blend, and helps you plan the path to pilot.
