Why Meltec®?

Sugar is not just a sweetener: it increases volume, binds,
retains moisture, and protects the structure of recipes. For this reason, replacing sugars and syrups without losing technological performance is a challenge in the modern food industry.

Meltec® is a patented system based on semi-solid vegetable fibers (70–75% vegetable fibers; 66% dietary fiber), designed to replace the properties of sugars and syrups with a cleaner label ingredient which has a neutral taste profile.
