Monk Fruit Sweetener
For the first time ever, monk fruit sweetener is being manufactured at commercial scale in the United States – right here at our biomanufacturing facility in Augusta, Georgia.
We have reimagined a scarce, crop-dependent ingredient into a more reliable, scalable, and sustainable sweetening solution for global food and beverage brands. By moving beyond traditional supply constraints and overseas sourcing, we are helping shape a more resilient – and more delicious – future for sweetness.
At IFT, we will have our Monk Fruit Sweetener available to sample in a variety of snacks and beverages, including:
01
Strawberry
Mint Cooler
02
Passion
Fruit Tea
03
Golden
Harvest Muffin

The search is over.
Manus’ Founder and CEO on the end of the synthetic era – and what scale makes possible now.
Saccharin in 1879. Sucralose in 1998. For 140 years, every sweetener has solved part of the puzzle – calorie-free, sugar-like, natural, scalable – but never all of it at once. In this white paper, Dr. Ajikumar "Aji" Parayil argues the missing piece was never another molecule. It was a way to make the ones we already have, at scale. A clear-eyed account of what synthetic chemistry could never solve – and what biomanufacturing finally can.
