What’s organic monk fruit extract?
Organic Monk Fruit Extract is a natural, high-intensity sweetener derived from the monk fruit (Siraitia grosvenorii), a small green melon native to southern China. The extract is made by removing the seeds and skin of the fruit, followed by extracting the sweetness using water. The sweet components, known as mogrosides, are responsible for monk fruit’s remarkable sweetness, which can be up to 300 times sweeter than sugar but contains no calories. Organic Monk Fruit Extract is a popular choice for people seeking a natural, low-calorie alternative to sugar and artificial sweeteners.
Production Process:
- Sourcing: Monk fruit is grown on organic farms, without the use of synthetic chemicals or pesticides.
- Harvesting: The ripe fruits are carefully harvested to ensure the best quality and flavor.
- Extraction: The fruit is washed, peeled, and seeds are removed. The sweetness is extracted from the pulp using hot water, followed by filtration to concentrate the mogrosides.
- Purification: The concentrated extract is purified to remove any residual impurities and ensure a clean, pure product.
- Drying: The final extract is dried into a powder form for easy use in food and beverage applications.
