Horizon Science has developed a process to selectively concentrate naturally occurring bioactive components from sugar cane molasses - Benecarb - natural functional ingredient addressing glucose response. This dark-coloured syrup, with sweet ‘molasses‐like’ taste, contains high levels of natural antioxidants. It is 100% natural and claimed to lower the blood glucose response of a range of high carbohydrate foods and beverages. With applications in baked goods, beverages, liquid pre-mixes and more, Benecarb works well with sweet and savoury flavours. Raw sugar treated with Benecarb has been commercialised as LoGiCane - low glycaemic index (GI) sugar.
