Monk Fruit & Erythritol Natural Sweetener Blend

Key characteristics

• Plant-based solution: monk fruit extract comes from the fruit of Siraitia grosvenorii, and erythritol is a fermented polyol.
• Zero or very low calories: erythritol is essentially non-caloric and monk fruit is used at extremely low doses.
• Improved taste profile: erythritol helps round and soften the sweetness of monk fruit, reducing potential aftertaste.
• Better mouthfeel vs. pure high-intensity sweeteners: bulk from erythritol contributes to body and texture in beverages and foods.
• Flexible blend ratios: blends can be adapted to taste, sweetness intensity, cost and regulatory needs.

Typical specification options

Atlas works with you to specify monk fruit & erythritol blends that match your product requirements and regional regulations. Options can include:

• Different monk fruit extract strengths and purity levels.
• Various sweetness equivalents vs. sucrose (e.g. 1:1 sugar replacement in tabletop use, or concentrates for industrial use).
• Powder blends with defined particle size distribution for smooth flow in mixing, sachet filling and tablet pressing.
• Consistent colour and flavour profile aligned with beverage and food applications.
• Microbiological specifications suitable for use in RTD beverages, bakery and nutrition products.

For long-term or multi-country projects, Atlas can standardise a global spec and then adapt packaging, documentation and labelling per region.

Beverages & liquid applications

• Carbonated soft drinks and flavoured waters aiming for “zero sugar” or “no added sugar” positioning.
• Energy drinks and functional beverages where sugar reduction is combined with added vitamins or actives.
• Juice drinks and flavoured waters where sugar content needs to be reduced while keeping a natural image.
• RTD teas and coffees with plant-based, low-calorie sweetening systems.
• Syrups and concentrates for retail or foodservice that are reconstituted at home or on the fountain.

Tabletop & dry mixes

• Tabletop sweetener sticks and sachets designed as 1:1 sugar replacements by weight or sweetness.
• Jar and canister sweeteners for home use in coffee, tea and baking.
• Instant drink powders where plant-based, sugar-free sweetening is key.

Bakery, confectionery & nutrition

• Reduced-sugar and sugar-free baked goods like cakes, muffins, cookies and bars.
• Breakfast cereals and granola with lower sugar content and more “natural” positioning.
• Chocolate, fillings and confectionery where polyols and fibres support structure and monk fruit provides sweetness.
• Sports nutrition, protein shakes and meal replacements where sweetening must match specific nutritional targets.
• Keto- and low-carb-positioned foods where erythritol is already familiar to consumers.

Formulation guidance

• Define target sugar-equivalent sweetness, then select an appropriate blend ratio and usage level.
• Consider combining with fibres, other polyols or small amounts of sugar for optimal mouthfeel and flavour release.
• Fine-tune acidulant and flavour systems in beverages to support clean sweetness and minimise off-notes.
• Verify local labelling rules regarding “natural”, “no added sugar”, “sugar-free” and polyol declarations.

Quality & regulatory documentation

• Product specifications covering monk fruit extract purity, erythritol content, moisture and bulk density.
• Batch-specific Certificates of Analysis (COA) provided with every shipment.
• Supporting information on GMO status, allergen status, pesticide residues, heavy metals and contaminants available when needed.
• Certificates such as Halal, Kosher, ISO and FSSC can be provided if available from the production sites.
• Your regulatory and nutrition teams remain responsible for all final label, claim and nutritional declarations; Atlas provides transparent, traceable technical data.

Packaging, storage & logistics

• Typical packaging: multi-layer 20–25 kg bags, cartons or drums, adapted to blend density and flow.
• Options for smaller industrial packs or retail/foodservice formats via co-packing partners can be explored for strategic projects.
• Store in a cool, dry place, well sealed and protected from moisture, heat and strong odours.
• Shipments arranged under FOB, CFR, CIF or other agreed Incoterms, with Atlas coordinating export documents and logistics.
