Lower-Sugar Natural Humectant Syrup
CapMoist® EnergyWell Low Sugar Syrup is a lower-sugar natural humectant syrup produced from rice syrup and grape juice concentrate — built for manufacturers who need high-performance moisture control without the sugar load of conventional humectant syrups.
Protein bars that go stale, dry or hard after two weeks. Energy products that need a cleaner sugar declaration. Sports nutrition formulations where slow-release carbohydrates matter as much as texture.
CapMoist® EnergyWell Low Sugar Syrup solves all three — extending shelf life, retaining moisture and delivering a sustained, lower-glycaemic energy profile in a single clean-label ingredient.
CapMoist® EnergyWell Low Sugar Syrup provides superior water activity control (aw < 0.63), moisture retention, texture improvement, increased yields, better machinability and pronounced mouthfeel improvement — with a Brix of 78%+ and a pH of 4.5–5.5 for reliable performance across applications.
It contains no artificial additives, preservatives or synthetic ingredients. 100% natural, gluten free, allergen free, Non-GMO, Halal, Kosher and SQF certified.
