Stevioside is a natural health-care sweetener and medical adjuvant extracted from Stevia rebaudiana.

Stevia is pure white in color, suitable in taste, no peculiar smell, easy to dissolve in water and alcohol, stable in nature and not easy to mildew. It is the closest natural sweetener to sucrose taste that has been found and approved by the Ministry of health and the Ministry of industry. It has unique characteristics of high sweetness and low heat. Its sweetness is 200-450 times that of sucrose, but its heat is only 1 / 300 of sucrose It can be widely used in food, beverage, medicine, daily chemical industry, wine making and other industries, and the cost is only 35% of sucrose. Therefore, stevia is an ideal substitute for sucrose and is internationally known as "the third sugar source in the world".

Properties

Stevioside is a mixture of eight kinds of sugars with the same diterpenoid ligands. It does not contain sugar and heat. Its color is white to yellowish. It has suitable taste and no peculiar smell. It is a new sugar source with broad development prospects. Stevioside is a kind of sweetener which has been found in the world and approved by the Ministry of health of China. It has low calorie and its taste is very close to sucrose. It is the third natural sweetener with development value and health esteem after sugarcane and beet sugar. It is internationally known as "the third sugar source in the world". Stevioside, as a food sweetener and preservative, is widely used in food industry to produce high sweetness, low calorie, low salt and anti caries food.
