Food Ingredients

Manus, Tate & Lyle to produce stevia in US

The biobased chemical start-up Manus will work with the food ingredient company Tate & Lyle to produce the zero-calorie sweetener stevia Reb M at Manus’s facility in Augusta, Georgia. The partners say the project will yield the only all-Americas supply chain for the sweetener, including stevia leaf cultivation, extraction, and bioconversion to final ingredient. In an earlier project, Manus began producing the flavor nootkatone via fermentation rather than extraction from citrus fruit.

CORRECTION:

This story was updated on Dec. 6, 2024, to correct the description of Tate & Lyle. It is a food ingredient company, not a sugar company.
