product category. These standards set a
baseline of quality and testing to ensure the
market is providing customers with quality
prebiotic products.
“Bonumose’s commitment to both the quality
and science required for prebiotic certification
serve as an example for the industry,” said
Kevin Yan, Vice President of Certifications and
Analytics at SGS Nutrasource, the company
that administers NutraStrong certification. “By
becoming a certified ingredient, Bonumose
gained access to the Prebiotic Certified program
for all products utilizing their tagatose. This access
gives brands the ability to certify and promote
their own usage of tagatose, highlighting the
benefits of such quality ingredients.”
“When the Global Prebiotic Association
conceived of the Prebiotic Verified program
as part of the NutraStrong umbrella, it was to
create a reward for suppliers and brands with
substantiated prebiotic products - those that
invested in quality and science and those that
formulated wisely,” said Len Monheit, Executive
Director of the Global Prebiotic Association. “We
are truly excited that the inaugural ingredient
through the program is tagatose and that the
NutraStrong Prebiotic Verified program now
includes an ingredient that brands can leverage.”
Tagatose’s prebiotic properties are just one of
the many benefits it provides to manufacturers.
Compared to sucrose, tagatose is 90% as
sweet with 60% fewer calories. It tastes and
performs similar to sucrose across a wide
variety of applications. Because it has a low
glycemic index of 3, tagatose does not raise
blood glucose levels when consumed on its
own. It is also Ketogenic Certified, Non-GMO
Project Verified and Plant-Based Certified.
“We believe it’s important to provide
manufacturers with a variety of sweeteners
to meet all of their needs,” said Jim Kappas,
Vice President of Specialty Ingredients at
ASR Group. “Tagatose is a fitting solution
for manufacturers who seek to make every
calorie count with ingredients that taste great
and provide functional benefits.”
