A healthy and sustainable approach to sugar

“We have developed a process that turns sustainable resources into a sweet-tasting fiber. Our product combines a sweet and natural taste with the health-promoting benefits of dietary fiber. Using our fiber-based sweetener we want to enable food manufacturers to produce sweet products with improved nutritional value. Our sweet fiber has the potential to counteract the lack of fiber in the Western diet and the epidemic spread of obesity.”

“Unfortunately, not yet in the supermarket. Our sweet dietary fiber is the result of our latest research activities, which we now want to translate into a social benefit. Officially, our project is still a research project on its way towards a university spin-off. We are currently optimizing our production process and validating our sweet dietary fiber in food applications to bring our healthy sugar alternative to the market as quickly as possible. In collaboration with chromatography experts, we will produce up to 50 kg of our product by February 2025.

If you are a food manufacturer interested in testing our fiber, please contact us info@sweethoven-biotech.com.”

“We participated in the EIT Food Seedbed Incubator in 2023. The program helped us to embark on an extensive market discovery journey and to create a comprehensive business concept that leverages the potential of our process and product innovation. EIT Food enabled us to present the prototype of our sweet fiber at ANUGA 2023, where we established close contacts with food manufacturers who are eager to validate our healthy sweetener in their products. The opportunity to present our fiber at our own booth at the EIT Food Venture Summits 2023 in Lisbon and recently at NEXT BITE 2024 in Rome expanded our network of potential pilot partners enormously.”
