CLEVELAND, April 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Savanna Ingredients GmbH and Palmer Holland, Inc. have signed an exclusive distribution partnership for crystalline Allulose and Cellobiose in the USA and Canada markets.

Allulose, manufactured in Germany from GMO-free raw materials, is a natural sugar that can have a positive effect on personal caloric intake. These functional carbohydrates are well-positioned to help formulators and consumers target health trends such as sugar reduction, digestive wellness, and lactose awareness. Allulose offers an alternative for those wanting to avoid corn-based ingredients.

Allulose has 90% fewer calories than conventional household sugar and offers a sweetening power of up to 70% of sucrose. It also has a positive effect on product texture and is tested as tooth friendly. With no effect on blood sugar levels, allulose is a suitable option for nutrition-conscious consumers.

"Savanna Ingredients GmbH's value proposition and focus on quality and sustainability aligns well with Palmer Holland's mission to source high-quality natural ingredients designed to meet the needs of tomorrow," said Brendan Michel, Palmer Holland Business Manager - Health and Nutrition. "With this partnership, we are addressing the needs of our customers by offering a best-in-class solution to assist in the creation of healthier, better-tasting products."

Allulose is used in all key segments of the food industry, such as baked goods, confectionery, fruit preparations, and dairy products. "Allulose is a big plus in the calorie balance of consumers because the human body does not recognize allulose as an energy supplier during metabolism. Allulose does not dock in the body, the calories are not metabolized but excreted," said Ralph Cartarius, Managing Director of Savanna Ingredients GmbH.

Another promising innovation from Savanna Ingredients GmbH is the functional carbohydrate Cellobiose. Due to its low solubility, this sugar is versatile and can be used as a fermentation sugar, for example, but also as an exfoliant in scrubs. Palmer Holland will soon be adding this exciting ingredient to its portfolio.
