PROPERTIES

SweetenerIt can be used as a 100% natural sweetener, excellent for direct human consumption. Agave syrup represents a great opportunityfor the food and tequila industry because of its elevated sweetener power which is higher than regular sugar and therefore has adietetic value.

Flavor boosterImproves and intensifies the taste of other aliments such as fruits, nectars, etc. this represents the opportunity to manufacture foodproducts with significant lower portions of sweeteners, acid sauces or other ingredients.

Easy assimilation for the bodyBecause of its high fructose content, agave syrup does not require the presence of insulin for the primal stages of the metabolismprocess.

HygroscopicityProduces high hygroscopicity, this property is desirable when moisture retention in food processing needs to be improved.

Osmotic pressureBecause of its high content of solids (74-76 Brix) agave syrup presents a particular high osmotic pressure which is used forinhibiting the microbiologic growth.

High fermentation capabilityBecause of its high content of monosaccharide which is 100% fermentation material by yeasts it can be used in concentrationsor fixed dilutions in breading processes without loosing any properties by baking.

Other important properties are its high purity, low ashes content, color, natural transparency, stable composition,easy handling and storage, availability and competitive cost.

Plus; agave syrup has a delicious taste, low calorie rate and it does not cause dental problems like sugar.
