Humectants

Humectants are functional ingredients that attract and retain moisture, helping maintain texture, extend shelf life, and prevent drying or crystallization in foods. They are essential for product stability in a variety of categories.

Glycerin – Maintains softness in bakery, confectionery, and bars; also used for sweetness and texture improvement.

Sorbitol – Controls moisture, prevents crystallization, and provides sweetness in sugar-free confectionery, bakery, and gums.

Propylene Glycol – Retains moisture and stabilizes flavour in baked goods, icings, and flavour concentrates.

Polydextrose – Provides bulk, fibre content, and moisture retention in reduced-calorie and functional foods.
