Introducing APSABOR
Sweeteners for animal nutrition.
APSABOR consists of sweeteners of natural origin based on steviol glycosides (Stevia rebaudiana plant), authorised in the EU as sweeteners for feed without age, species or dosage limitations.
APSABOR RANGE
APSABOR GS
APSABOR 320
APSABOR 300
APSABOR STEVIA LIQUID
APSABOR UMAMI
SUITABLE FOR
All farm animals species
MAIN COMPONENT
Steviol Glycosides
The sweetness that stimulates intake. APSABOR is a natural alternative to artificial sweeteners, suitable for all feedstuffs and all animal species, designed to provide these benefits.
It results in high hedonic (pleasure level) effect on animals. It is more stimulating to the animal than other high intensity synthetic sweeteners currrently marketed.
It provides high intensity of sweetness.
Natural product (stevia leaf extraction).
Standardised product (analytical controls on all batches).
Product stable to thermal processes (melting point: 198 ºC).
Highly soluble in water.
Product stable to pH from 3 to 9 at 100 ºC.
Natural sweetness without caloric content (it is not metabolised in the body).
Since it is a natural product, it does not ferment.
It enhances the aromatic stimulus.
The importance of taste
The taste provides dietary and sensory information key for the regulation of food intake.
Helps animals to choose nutritious food and avoid harmful substances.
Highly influences food intake and the amount consumed.
Effects of each taste stimulation:
Sweet and bitter: Important to identify nutrients and toxins.
Salty: Indicates sodium and minerals-rich feed.
Umami: Indicates protein-rich feed.
The feed taste is important in critical periods when the animal needs to continue eating.
Stimulates appetite at weaning for adaptation to solid food, optimal intestinal development, and growth.
What sweeteners options are marketed?
The sweetener market offers two options: synthetic sweeteners and natural sweeteners.
Synthetic options
Saccharin, Neohesperidin
Both are usually used together to compensate for the metallic aftertaste of saccharin and to avoid the high cost of neohesperidin.
Natural options
Steviol Glycosides
Linneos chooses natural sweeteners based on steviol glycoside, the sweet component of Stevia rebaudiana plant leaves.
Advantages of natural sweeteners
- Natural sweeteners stand out for the safety of their natural extraction process.
- Animals are mostly attracted by the sweet taste.
- Sweeteners are used to stimulate feed intake.
- They facilitate the transition to a new feed.
- They can be used to mask the bitter taste of certain raw materials or drugs.
- They are used to keep the intake during other stressful periods, such as transport, weaning, etc.
Steviol Glycosides, with high concentration of Rebaudioside A, present in Linneos APSABOR products, makes the difference:
- Significantly increases sweetness intensity and persistence.
- It provides a sensory experience superior to other sweeteners.
Comparison of characteristics between synthetic sweeteners and Linneos natural sweeteners
LINNEOS natural steviol glycosides based sweeteners provide better tolerability, capabilities and performance.
