IMAG Organics agave powder, a natural sweetener suitable for food and beverage applications
The production process involves the thermal hydrolysis of inulin stored in agave stems, resulting in a syrup rich in fructose (≥90%) with a low glycaemic index. It naturally enhances the flavour of foods, providing texture, consistency, wettability and sweetness without altering sensory properties.
Applications include beverages such as coffee, tea, and fruit juices; dairy products like milk, smoothies, yoghurt, and ice cream; bakery items including bread, cakes, cookies, cereals, and cereal bars; and seasonings such as salads, dressings, vinaigrettes, sauces, and marinades. It can also serve as a substitute for table sugar, honey, corn syrup, or maple syrup.
