Stevia Extract, Steviol Glycosides
What is Stevia extract?
Stevia is a sweetener and sugar substitute derived from the leaves of the plant species Stevia Rebaudiana. It is a pure natural, high sweetness and low calorific value sweetener extracted from stevia leaves. The active compounds are steviol glycosides (mainly stevioside and Rebaudioside), which have 200 to 400 times the sweetness of sugar, are heat-stable, pH-stable, and not fermentable.
It has the character of zero calories, low glycemic load, patient safety, “good news” for diabetes and obesity patients.
It is widely used in food, beverage, medicine, sweetener, flooded food, cosmetics, tobacco, daily chemical industry and other sugar fields.

Applications
Stevia extract can be widely used in food, beverage, medicine, daily chemical industry, wine, cosmetics and other industries, and can save 60% of the cost compared with the application of sucrose.
Besides sugarcane and beet sugar, it is the third kind of natural sucrose substitute with development value and health promotion, and is praised as “the third sugar source in the world” internationally.
Stevioside is added to foods, beverages or pharmaceuticals as an aromatic flavor enhancer; make hard candy together with lactose, maltose syrup, fructose, sorbitol, maltitol, and lactulose; make cake powders together with sorbitol, glycine, Alanine etc;it can also be used in solid drinks, health drinks, liqueurs and coffee.
