Sweeteners Applications

Dow provides a wide variety of resins designed specifically for sweetener applications. These resins are used as an integral part of corn syrup, high-fructose corn syrup processing and other starch based syrups. They are also used extensively in many other sweetener feed streams. In sucrose processing the resins are used for softening feed streams, recovering sugar from molasses streams, or decolorization. They are also used in the production of non-nutritive sweeteners such as xylitol, sorbitol, or mannitol.
