From sicilian Carob pulp to a ready-to-use stick pack: the story of an innovation that combines nature, technology and co-packing.<\/h2>\n

In the landscape of functional ingredients for food & beverage, finding a natural sweetener that is both versatile, clean label and low glycemic index is no easy feat. LBG Sicilia \u2014 a world leader in carob gum for more than 25 years \u2014 has succeeded with SYFRUIT\u00ae<\/sup>, a syrup obtained from the pulp of Carob, the fruit of the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua) through a completely chemical-free extraction process. To bring it to the market in a practical and immediate way, it chose Encanto and its Stick Pack Multilayer. <\/h2>\n

Who is LBG Sicilia<\/h2>\n

LBG was founded in 2001 with the SEEDGUM\u00ae<\/sup> range of Carob Gum and quickly grew to become the leading private, independent player in the world market, serving prestigious food companies in more than 90 countries. The company’s philosophy interweaves research, development and technology with a profoundly sustainable vision: each product comes from a responsible process that is mindful of the supply chain and environmental impact. <\/p>\n

LBG Sicilia carries on this same vision by focusing on natural functional ingredients: from carob seed flour \u2014 their historic flagship product \u2014 to the enhancement of the pulp of the same fruit, which gave birth to SYFRUIT\u00ae<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

SYFRUIT\u00ae<\/sup>, the sweetness that comes from nature<\/h2>\n

SYFRUIT\u00ae<\/sup> is a syrup that serves as a highly effective, clear, colorless and viscous natural sweetener that perfectly mimics the taste and texture of traditional sugar syrup \u2014 but without flavoring, chemical additives and with a naturally low glycemic index due to its reduced glucose content compared to competing sweeteners such as tapioca, corn or potato derivatives.<\/p>\n

The extraction process uses only water infusion, resulting in a gluten-free, GMO-free and allergen-free product that is also available in a certified organic version. Its characteristics allow for cross-use: it works as a pure sweetener, but also as a thickener or gelling agent, opening up formulation possibilities in food, beverage and nutraceuticals. <\/p>\n

\n

\u00abWe want to propose this product to all companies that are looking for a natural, versatile, flavorless, low-glycemic sweetener that works in different recipes from food & beverage to nutraceuticals.\u00bb \u2014 LBG Sicily<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Why a Stick Pack? The choice of packaging with Encanto <\/h2>\n

How did the collaboration come about?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00abAlmost by chance\u00bb they recount from LBG Sicilia: looking for innovative packaging solutions, other companies in the sector pointed them toward Encanto. From that recommendation came a collaboration that shaped a specific need: to find a format that would allow them to introduce SYFRUIT\u00ae<\/sup> to as many people as possible, quickly, conveniently and safely. <\/p>\n

The Solution: Stick Pack Multilayer<\/strong><\/p>\n

The choice fell on Encanto’s Stick Pack Multilayer, a format composed of multiple layers of barrier materials \u2014 plastic and aluminum \u2014 that protect the contents from moisture, oxygen, and light. An ideal solution for a product like SYFRUIT\u00ae<\/sup>, which requires high protection to preserve the integrity of sensitive ingredients and ensure an extended shelf-life. <\/p>\n

The convenience of transport, single-serving and immediate opening make this format perfect for both B2B sampling \u2014 getting potential industrial customers to try the product \u2014 and on-the-go consumer applications. The stick pack thus becomes, in LBG Sicilia’s words, “the right vehicle to get as many people as possible to try this wonder of nature\/technology.” <\/p>\n

Co-packing as a strategic lever<\/h2>\n

LBG Sicilia’s case history tells much more than a simple packaging choice: it is the story of a company that has been able to enhance a by-product \u2014 Carob pulp \u2014 turning it into a functional ingredient with high added value, and that has found in co-packing with Encanto the right tool to bring it to market in a professional, scalable and immediately communicative guise.<\/p>\n
