Dr. Todd Lowary, PhD, professor at the University of Alberta and an organic chemist familiar with current patents regarding the process technology by Tate & Lyle, has reviewed Lexington’s intellectual property. Lowary states: "In my opinion, Lexington’s procedure represents a significant improvement over any process that I have reviewed in the Tate & Lyle patent portfolio, not only in terms of cost, but also toxicity". Lowary adds: "I view what Lexington is doing as ‘greener’ chemistry than what’s in the patent literature."

Ted Gelov, Lexington’s founder and CEO, states: "Lexington set out with a goal of improving the taste profile of sucralose and producing it in an environmentally friendly manner." The company has filed patent applications on this novel manufacturing process

The product is expected to be introduced in the table top sweetener called Nevella, manufactured and distributed by Heartland Sweeteners, LLC. Heartland Sweeteners, LLC, a leading manufacturer and marketer of table top sweeteners, is also owned by Gelov.

The company is working with global partners to manufacture domestically in the US and at other sites around the world under pharmaceutical GMP conditions.
