Layn Natural Ingredients expands monk fruit portfolio

IRVINE, CALIF. — Layn Natural Ingredients has added monk fruit decoction in powder and liquid formats to its portfolio.  

Layn said the monk fruit decotion powder and liquid are produced from monk fruit using a water-based decotion process and may provide five to six times the sweetness of sugar.

Layn added the product to its portfolio in response to growing demand from global brands for clean label, fruit-derived sweetening solutions that may support sugar reduction while meeting different formulation, labeling and regional market requirements.

Manufacturers may use the ingredient in dietary supplement and food and beverage applications and as an additional option alongside higher-purity monk fruit extracts, juices and concentrates, Layn said.

“For brands developing products across multiple regions, ingredient flexibility and regulatory clarity are becoming increasingly critical considerations,” said Doris Ip, senior marketing manager of Layn Natural Ingredients. “What differentiates Layn is our vertically integrated monk fruit platform, which begins at the plant level with proprietary cultivar development, tissue culture propagation, and grower partnerships, and extends through cultivation, extraction and ingredient manufacturing. This source-to-solution approach helps us deliver tailored sweetening solutions backed by supply stability, consistent quality, technical expertise, and decades of natural ingredient innovation.”
