Monk fruit is a plant native to southern China and northern Thailand. It belongs to the gourd family (Cucurbitaceae). When monk fruit is extracted, it yields a sweet-tasting compound called mogroside.
Monk fruit is regarded as a cooling herb and is traditionally used to relieve internal heat and thirst, soothe coughs and phlegm, ease sore throats, and restore energy. It has long been used in Chinese medicine and is well known in Thailand. The U. S. Food and Drug Administration recognizes it as safe for use as a sweetener.
Monk Fruit Concentrate Juice is a highly sweet concentrated juice made from monk fruit. It can replace sugar as an alternative sweetener and is approximately 18 times sweeter than sugar. It provides natural sweetness and has a low glycemic index. Because only a very small amount is required, it contributes almost no monk-fruit flavor to the finished product and is popular in foods for health-conscious consumers.
Monk Fruit Concentrate Juice is a pale-yellow liquid used at a very low dosage compared with granulated sugar. Another advantage is that it can be declared as concentrated fruit juice rather than as a sweetener, helping support a clean-label product. For example, in Australia and New Zealand, the label may state that monk fruit concentrate has been added rather than claiming the presence of an added sweetener.
For people following a keto diet, Monk Fruit Concentrate Juice is keto-friendly and does not stimulate insulin release, making it suitable for people with diabetes as well.
For products that require a distinct monk fruit taste, Tinnakorn also offers monk fruit powder flavor, which emphasizes monk fruit flavor while providing less sweetness than monk fruit juice concentrate.
