Arzeda, the industry-leading Protein Design Company™, has successfully developed and scaled its ProSweet Enzymes™ that will allow sweetener companies to efficiently – and cost effectively – make Reb D and Reb M from stevia leaf extract.
The development and scale of these high-performance enzymes broadens the company’s portfolio of enzymatic stevia solutions – and builds on Arzeda’s work in 2022 and 2023 to efficiently scale and validate enzyme performance for the commercial extraction of Reb D and Reb M glycosides.
Arzeda’s expanded portfolio of Reb D and Reb M ProSweet Enzymes™ comes on the heels of the company’s development agreement with AAK, further expanding Arzeda’s footprint within the food industry. The introduction of the new enzymes also comes at a time of increased industry demand and product innovation – as global stevia sales are expected to grow by nearly 10% over the next six years due to continued consumer demand for better-for-you alternatives to sugar.
