Amyris to Host Launch of its New Zero Calorie Natural Sweetener in New York on December 3, 2018
12 September 2018 - 10:30PM
Amyris, Inc. (Nasdaq:AMRS), a leader in the development and
production of sustainable ingredients for the Health &
Wellness, Clean Beauty and Flavors & Fragrances markets,
announced today that it plans to hold an invitation only, special
tasting event to mark the official commercial launch of its new,
sugarcane-derived, natural, zero calorie sweetener on December 3,
2018 in New York.
To celebrate the new sweetener, made sustainably and naturally
sourced, the event will be held at the Alexandria Center for Life
Science, a building which is LEED® Gold certified. Guests will be
among the first to experience what the company believes is the best
tasting, zero calorie natural sweetener commercially available in
the world today.
“Amyris started out developing and making sustainable the
leading antimalarial treatment. We’ve gone on to create the fastest
growing, clean skincare brand, Biossance, and now we’re bringing to
the world the best tasting, zero calorie natural sweetener,” said
Amyris President & CEO John Melo. “We all love sweet things. We
want the world to enjoy the sweetness they love in a healthy way.
We’re pleased to bring a product to market that lets people enjoy
all the goodness of the sweet taste without the calories and
without the bitter aftertaste we’ve all come to know from other
natural and artificial sweeteners. Just like we’re redefining clean
skincare with our Biossance brand, we’re excited to raise the
standard for healthy sweeteners. We are passionate and committed to
do right by consumers and to provide them with the highest quality
products and to make these products accessible for all.”
Recently, Amyris announced that its zero calorie sweetener,
derived from sugarcane, received designation as GRAS (Generally
Recognized as Safe) by an independent expert panel making it ready
for commercial sale. Amyris has been working with several market
leaders, including some who will be represented at the launch.
Reaction to the taste profile of Amyris’s new sweetener has been
overwhelmingly positive, which, in addition to its sustainability,
differentiates it from others. As a result of the strong demand and
response to our product this event will be limited to invited
guests only.
