Product Introduction
Curculin is a unique natural sweetener derived from the fruit of the Curculigo orchioides plant, known for its taste-modulating properties. This remarkable compound is not just a sweetener; it enhances the perception of sweetness in foods and beverages, offering a low-calorie alternative to traditional sugars. Curculin works by binding to sweet taste receptors, creating a sweet sensation even in the absence of sugar.
Product Manufacturing Process
The manufacturing process of curculin starts with the harvesting of Curculigo orchioides fruits. These fruits are processed to extract the active sweetening compounds. The extraction involves methods such as cold-pressing or solvent extraction to safely isolate curculin from the plant material. Once extracted, the curculin is purified to ensure high quality and concentration. The final product is then dried and milled to the desired particle size, resulting in a fine powder that can be used in various applications.
