Unavoo Food Technologies

Unavoo Food Technologies is a pioneering company that has developed HEYLO, a revolutionary all-natural sweetener made from soluble dietary fiber derived from water-extracted stevia and acacia fiber, also known as acacia gum or gum arabic. Unlike traditional sugar substitutes that are artificial or contain hidden sugars, HEYLO offers a zero-glycemic, chemical-free alternative with a taste and mouthfeel similar to sugar. It is also 10x–15x sweeter than sugar and easily water-soluble. Founded by Yucal Maymon, a former gelato manufacturer diagnosed with diabetes, the company spent years perfecting HEYLO through extensive R&D since 2015. The company reported plans to manufacture Heylo in three forms—as an organic brown sugar alternative, a natural white sugar alternative, and a liquid.

The company claims that its key innovation behind HEYLO is its high fiber content, which makes it healthier, minimizes the bitterness often associated with stevia, and provides a satisfying sense of fullness. This allows HEYLO to achieve up to 100% sugar reduction in products like beverages, spreads, dairy items, and energy bars.
