The latest funds will help Incredo expand its research, development and commercialization efforts for its flagship product, Incredo Sugar. Incredo Sugar is a one-of-a-kind, delicious and clean sugar reduction solution that reduces the amount of sugar in sugary foods by 30-50%, with no change in taste, mouthfeel or texture, and without adding to the ingredient label. By binding real cane or beet sugar with traces of a natural carrier, Incredo Sugar facilitates the delivery of sugar molecules to sweet taste receptors on the tongue. This means less sugar is needed for the same level of sweetness.
