How to Use Monk Fruit Extract Powder in Product Formulations

Incorporating our monk fruit extract into your products requires careful calculation due to its high sweetness intensity. Follow this step-by-step guide:

Determine Sweetness Equivalence: Calculate the required amount based on your target sweetness level. For example, to replace 1kg of sugar using a 50% Mogroside V extract (approximately 150x sweetness), you would need approximately 6.67g of extract.
Consider Blending: For optimal taste and cost efficiency, blend with carriers like erythritol or other bulk sweeteners. This approach improves dispersion and mouthfeel while reducing ingredient costs.
Dry Applications: For powder mixes (seasonings, protein powders, dessert mixes), pre-blend the extract with other dry ingredients to ensure uniform distribution throughout the product.
Liquid Applications: For beverages, sauces, and liquid formulations, dissolve the extract directly in the water phase with moderate agitation to ensure complete dissolution.
Heat Processing: Proceed with standard manufacturing processes. The extract's heat stability ensures no loss of sweetness during baking, pasteurization, or other thermal treatments.
Sensory Evaluation: Conduct thorough taste testing to fine-tune the formulation, adjusting levels as needed to achieve the desired flavor profile.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Is monk fruit extract safe for consumption?

A: Yes. Monk fruit extract has a long history of safe use in Traditional Chinese Medicine and is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the U.S. FDA. It is approved for use in foods and beverages in many countries worldwide, including the EU, Canada, Australia, and Japan.

Q2: How does monk fruit extract compare to stevia?

A: While both are natural, zero-calorie sweeteners, monk fruit extract typically has a cleaner, more sugar-like taste with less bitterness than stevia. Many formulators blend both sweeteners to leverage the benefits of each while minimizing potential aftertastes. We offer both high-quality monk fruit extract and Table Stevia Sweetener Powder to meet different formulation needs.

Q3: Can monk fruit extract be used in baking?

A: Absolutely. Monk fruit extract exhibits excellent heat stability, making it suitable for baked goods, sauces, and other products requiring thermal processing. For best results in baking, we recommend using it in combination with bulk fillers like erythritol to replicate the volume and texture typically provided by sugar.

Q4: What is the shelf life of your monk fruit extract powder?

A: When stored in its original sealed packaging in a cool, dry place (below 25°C and 65% relative humidity), our monk fruit extract powder has a shelf life of 24 months from the date of manufacture.
