Patent awarded for stevia extraction process
Sweet Green Fields has been granted a patent in Japan for its proprietary high-purity stevia extraction process, the Fast Precipitation Process (FPP).
The extraction process draws Rebaudioside-A (RA) out of mid-grade stevia extract and turns it into a highly purified powder equating to a purity grade of 95% or higher. The company says its method is 33 to 50% faster than the industry’s conventional method, resulting in a more efficient and cost-effective process.
“At Sweet Green Fields, we are dedicated to offering food and beverage manufacturers the highest quality stevia extracts on the market and FPP allows us to deliver our premium RA products with superior value to manufacturers looking for better-for-you sweetening solutions,” said Dean Francis, CEO of Sweet Green Fields.
“This latest patent in Japan is another major step in securing global patents for our proprietary process to provide the best and most cost-effective product to our partners worldwide.”
