As a Malaysia-based confectionery manufacturer serving the Southeast Asian market, we faced a major challenge: creating a sugar-free gummy that local consumers would actually enjoy.

Many zero-sugar products fail here because consumers are sensitive to cooling aftertastes and bitterness. Valeherb’s technical team worked closely with us to develop a customized monk fruit + allulose blend system specifically for our tropical fruit gummy line.

The result exceeded our expectations — clean sweetness, no cooling sensation, and a texture that stays soft without crystallizing even in Malaysia’s warm and humid storage conditions. We launched the sugar-free line in Q1, and it has become our fastest-growing product range. Retailers are asking for expanded flavors, and consumers keep coming back because they genuinely cannot tell it’s sugar-free. Valeherb didn’t just sell us ingredients; they helped us solve a formulation problem that had held us back for years.
