Premium Chinese extract
Stevioside is a premium natural sweetener extracted from the Stevia rebaudiana plant. Indigenous to South America, stevia has been utilized as a medicinal herb and sugar substitute for centuries. This plant-derived sweetener has gained international recognition for its exceptional properties and versatility.
According to international sweetener industry data, stevioside has been widely adopted in food production, beverages, and seasonings across Asia, North America, South America, and European Union countries. As the world’s leading producer of stevia, China stands at the forefront of stevioside production and exportation, ensuring consistent quality and supply chains.
With sweetness levels 250-450 times greater than sucrose and a caloric value of merely 1/300 that of regular sugar, stevioside represents an ideal sweetening solution for diabetic patients, weight management programs, and health-conscious consumers seeking to reduce sugar intake without sacrificing taste.

Active ingredients:
Stevioside
Characters :
It could soluble in water and ethanol, when mixed with sucrose, fructose, glucose, maltose, etc., not only the sweetness of stevioside is more pure, but the sweetness can play a synergistic effect. Steviol glycosides are heat and light resistant, very stable in the pH range of 3 to 10, and easy to store. The stability of the solution is good. In the pH range of general beverages and foods, the heat treatment is still very stable. Stevia glycosides stored in organic acid solutions containing sucrose did not change much for half a year; they do not decompose in acid-base media to prevent fermentation, discoloration and precipitation.
