Bonumose is an early-stage food ingredient manufacturer specializing in the affordable production of delicious, good-for-you sugars such as tagatose and allulose. Built on innovative, enzymatic technology discovered by Dr. Daniel Wichelecki, Bonumose developed a novel platform to produce naturally-occurring ingredients in commercial-scale quantities that would not otherwise be cost-effective or sustainable. Our mission is to offer healthy ingredients that can be used to meet consumers' demands for delicious products that do not burden the waistband or the wallet. Good-for-you sugars are naturally-occurring – just like glucose, fructose and sucrose, but are called "rare sugars" because they are much less abundant in nature. Despite this scarcity, rare sugars are packed with health benefits, promoting healthy teeth, glycemic control and improved gut health. They are just as versatile as more commonly-consumed sugars such as sucrose, sharing a similar taste and technical profile that facilitates their easy incorporation into a variety of food and beverage products.
