Amyris Introduces New PURECANE™ Baking Sweetener Direct To Consumers On Purecane.com To Outperform Low-Calorie Competitors

Keto-Friendly and Diabetes-Friendly Sweetener Tastes and Bakes Like Sugar

Emeryville, CA /PRNewswire/ - Purecane™, a pioneering clean sweetener brand from Amyris, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMRS), a global science and technology leader of pure, sustainable ingredients for the Health & Wellness, Clean Beauty and Flavors & Fragrances markets, has announced that it has expanded its Purecane product line with the introduction of a new Purecane Baking Sweetener that bakes and tastes like sugar but without the calories. The Purecane Baking Sweetener is available now on purecane.com and soon will be available on Amazon.

Consumers who are looking to cut calories, reduce their sugar intake, manage their glycemic index and/or follow a keto-friendly program, will be especially pleased with the added benefits of Purecane Baking Sweetener. Naturally derived from sugarcane and Non-GMO, the Purecane Baking Sweetener measures cup for cup like sugar and tastes as sweet, without the noticeable aftertaste of artificial sweeteners or stevia.

The Purecane Baking Sweetener is the second consumer sweetener product from Amyris, following its recent successful launch of its zero calorie, zero glycemic Purecane Sweetener Packets on purecane.com and its immediate sellout on Amazon last week. While Amazon replenishes its inventory of Purecane Sweetener Packets, consumers can still purchase them on purecane.com. Soon, as it did with Purecane Sweetener Packets, Amyris will make its new Purecane Baking Sweetener available on Amazon, too.

"Everyone loves the taste of sweet things, but they don't want all the sugar and all the bad that goes along with sugar," Amyris President and CEO John Melo said. "Purecane is the solution. This is a game changer for anyone looking to kick the sugar habit without giving up the sweet that they love."

What sets Purecane apart from other sweeteners is the natural, taste-enhancing boost it gives to fresh fruit and other bright flavors. Rather than mask flavors with sweetness the way added sugar does, Purecane complements and brings out the best of flavors. Beyond the two main consumer benefits, taste and health, Purecane delivers unique environmental benefits. Purecane is a natural sweetener made from sustainable sugarcane, using one of nature's ancient processes, fermentation.
