【Function of Stevia Leaf extract Stevioside】
1. Helps reduce blood pressure;
2.Control blood sugar levels, unlike sugarcane sugar does;
3.100% Natural Sweetener;
4.Non-fermentable, non-discoloring;
5.Maintains heat stability at 95 °C and features a lengthy shelf life;
6.Unlike artificial sweeteners, it doesn't break down with heat, so you can learn to cook with it too;
7.Acts as Plaque retardant Anti-caries and prevents cavities;
8. Non-toxic extensively tested and used by humans with no adverse effects.
【Application of Stevia Leaf extract Stevioside】
The product has a refreshing sweet taste, sweetness is about 200-300 times that of sucrose. Slightly bitter taste at high concentrations, sweet taste in the mouth is not easy to disappear. The product is one of the natural sweeteners closest to sucrose. As low alorie food sweetener, it can low pressure. As a sucrose substitute agent, the maximum amount should not exceed 1/3, in case of after taste. According to GB2760-86 regulations,it can be used for liquid and solid drinks, candy and pastries according to normal production needs. The disadvantage of this product is its high molecular weight and poor permeability. Mice and rats oral toxicity is LD50> 8.2g/kg.

【Types of Stevioside】
Normally, the stovioside will be produced and distinguished as three three types:
1. Normal standard stevioside, which produced accoridng to Chinese Standard GB8270-1999, the sweetness is 250 times than cane sugar.
It is white to off-white powder or granules with cool flavor which is about 250 times as sweet as cane sugar with slight bitter aftertaste in high concentration conditions. The sweetness can stay longer in the mouth and not easy to disappear. The melting point is 196℃-198℃ . Stevioside is able to endure in high temperature, and more stable in acidic and alkaline solution (PH5-7). It also can be easily dissolved in ethanol. It belongs to nonfermented products so it can be widely used in the food which is difficult to sterilize by heating and would keep white without any Maillard brown reaction. It’s much closer to cane sugar compared with the other natural sweeteners, while the drawbacks are the large molecular weight and poor permeability.Applications As a non-calorie sweetener for food, it contributes to low the blood pressure, and cure the acid stomach etc. It also can be used as a kind of sweeting agent for liquorice or cane sugar.
2. Rebaudioside A types, which is with the highest sweetness, around 300-400 times as sweet as cane sugar. Support R-A99%, R-A 98%, R-A97%, R-A90%, R-A80%,R-A60%, R-A50%, R-A40%
White to off-white crystalline powder or granules. It is the best ingredients in stevia sugar with 300-400 times as sweet as the cane sugar while the calorie is only 1/300 of the cane sugar. Its taste is much closer to the can sugar without any bitter taste. It is the substitute of stevia sugar while at the same time it can keep the original sweet taste and also the sweet taste is not easy to disappear in the mouth. The melting point is 196℃-198℃.It can be resistant at high temperature and more stable in the acidic and alkali solution (PH5-7). It can better the foods’ tastes and improve the quality of the products.
Applications:It can be used as the substitute of cane sugar with low costs, better tastes, and can be widely used in the food industry, beverage, pickles, cosmetics, medicine, health care, and so on.
3. Glucosyl Stevioside
White to off-white powder, flake or granules. The Glucosyl Stevioside, which is more like cane sugar, has overcome the shortcomings such as different purity, low solubility, and the bitter taste of the general stevia sugar. It can 100% substitute the cane sugar compared with 60% of the general stevia sugar and greatly cut the costs. It’s 100-200 times as sweet as the cane sugar while the sweetness taste is cool. The Glucosyl Stevioside is commonly used as the dispersing agent in lactose, malt dextrin etc to low down the sweetness to 0.5-1 times of cane sugar. Usually it’s stable in food processing conditions (acidity and heating) and easily soluble in water and alcohol. Applications:It is mainly used in the low calorie food, carbonated beverage, juice, freshments, pickles , aquatic product and so on.

【Range and usage】
(1) China's "food additives health standards" (GB 2760-1996) provides that: appropriate stevia is used in candy, cakes, drinks according to production needs .
(2) the actual use of reference:
①when stevioside is mixed with fructose and sucrose or isomerized sugar, its sweetness is improved, so is taste. When using steviocide instead of about 30% sucrose ,the results are better. General amount of orange juice 0.75g/L; fruity gel 0.1g/L; ice cream 0.5g/L. Use 20g stevioside instead of 3.2kg sucrose making egg bread, its shape, color, softness are good and taste good; use 14.88kg stevioside instead of 0.75kg sodium saccharin making plum, it has delicious flavor, aftertaste cool.
②Calorific value of stevioside is only 1/300 of cane sugar, and is not involved in metabolism in the body, and thus is suitable for making health food for the diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease patients. For candy, it has anti-caries effects.
③Rebaudioside A (the second main component of ordinary stevioside, 400 times the sweetness of sucrose) of high purity emerges in recent years ,its products and α-G-stevioside by enzymatic conversionf, have better taste and better or food, beverage.
This product can be used as a sweetener for glycyrrhizin. And it is often used with sodium citrate to improve the taste quality.

Conclusion |
Stevia is the healthy green sweetener with high security which is extracted from stevia leaves. It has high sweetness and lower calories. It’s much more stable than Aspartame、Neotame、Sucralose、 etc when heated in high tempreture. Its sweetness cost is only equivalent to 30% of cane sugar, so stevia is a perfect substitute for cane sugar. This, it can be widely used in a variety of products which need healthy sweeteners. |
【Production method】
Asteraceae small shrub sweet daisy (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni) leaves which are from Paraguay of northeast America ,dry them , extract them using ethanol , the extract is added ether to precipitate the sweet substance , and then recrystallize them from methanol. In terms of dry leaves, yield is about 6%. Our Jiangsu, Fujian, Xinjiang and other places have large-scale cultivation of stevia.
