ViaLeaf™ — next-generation stevia sweeteners
ViaLeaf™ is Arzeda's designer-enzyme platform for premium stevia sweeteners. We design the proteins and produce the ingredient; our commercial partner Mane brings it to food and beverage brands around the world.
The Challenge
What partners are up against
Food brands face relentless pressure to cut sugar without sacrificing taste, meet consumer demand for natural ingredients, and keep costs in check. Conventional stevia extracts leave the sweetest Reb D and Reb M glycosides inaccessible at commercial scale.
Our Approach
How Arzeda delivers
Arzeda designed a family of custom enzymes that convert stevia leaf extract into premium Reb D and Reb M sweeteners at commercial scale — cleaner taste, better economics, and a fraction of the traditional extraction time. ViaLeaf™ is the Arzeda-owned product; Mane commercializes it through their global food-and-beverage channels under a joint arrangement.
Case study & results
Mane partners with Arzeda to distribute ViaLeaf™ to food and beverage brands around the world — from enzyme design in Seattle to finished ingredient on the shelf.
