Samyang Corporation’s promotional booth at IFT 2025
World Headlines PH | July 16, 2025 – Seoul, South Korea — At the world’s largest food technology expo, Samyang Corporation unveiled its latest innovation: an AI-driven sugar reduction solution called the “3S Solution.” Presented at IFT 2025 in Chicago from July 14–16, this new tool allows food manufacturers to quickly develop low-sugar products using Samyang’s specialty ingredients—allulose and resistant maltodextrin.
What’s New?
Samyang’s 3S Solution—short for Smart, Simple, Successful—leverages artificial intelligence to help food manufacturers create healthier products without compromising on taste or texture. With just a few key inputs—desired sugar reduction levels, ingredient cost preferences, and product type—the AI system recommends optimized formulas using the company’s two core ingredients:
- Allulose: A natural sugar alternative that delivers 70% of the sweetness of sugar with nearly zero calories.
- Resistant maltodextrin: A functional dietary fiber known for its ability to help regulate digestion, blood sugar, and lipid levels.
To showcase the effectiveness of the system, Samyang offered tasting samples of cereal bars featuring different textures developed using the 3S solution. Additional samples included low-calorie caramel and barbecue sauces made with allulose, as well as kombucha and gummies enhanced with resistant maltodextrin.
A Smarter Way to Innovate in Food
By automating and optimizing the sugar reduction process, Samyang’s new system helps food companies dramatically shorten development cycles. It also provides the flexibility to tailor products for different markets and consumer preferences. The AI model is built on a proprietary database of food solutions that Samyang has compiled over years of R&D.
According to CEO Nak-hyun Choi, “The 3S Solution was designed to provide rapid and accurate recommendations based on the vast research and solution database that Samyang has built over the years. We will continue to enhance the system to improve both the completeness and applicability of our solutions.”
The company also revealed plans to expand the use of the 3S Solution across categories such as ice cream, sauces, baked goods, and confectionery, where demand for low-sugar alternatives continues to grow.
Eyeing Global Markets
Samyang is positioning this AI-based technology as a strategic tool for global expansion—especially in the United States, where consumer interest in low-calorie, low-sugar foods is surging. The company is also preparing to showcase its innovations at future expos including Health Ingredients (HI) Japan 2025 and Supply Side West (SSW) 2025 later this year.
