Basic segmentation of the Chinese compound Condiment market
Having already proven its worth in baking and beverages, Ingvia®M is now making waves in compound Condiments. Let's explore its impact.
The traditional sweet and sour sauce is known for its delightful balance of flavors and is used in pickles, cold dishes, stir-fries (sweet and sour flavor), and salad dressings. However, its high sucrose content (about 13%) can be a concern.
With the addition of Ingvia®M, the sugar content is significantly reduced while maintaining the original flavor profile. The result with reb m is a lighter, more refreshing taste that works perfectly in various dishes, from pickles to stir-fries, offering a healthier yet equally delicious option.
