Steviol Glycosides
Steviol sugar, also known as steviol glycoside, with the chemical formula C38H60O18, is a glycoside extracted from the leaves of the Asteraceae plant Stevia rebaudiana. Stevia is native to Paraguay and Brazil, and has the characteristics of high sweetness and low calorie content. Its sweetness is 200-300 times of sucrose, and its calorific value is only 1/300 of sucrose.
Stevia sugar is a new natural sweetener extracted from the herbaceous plant Stevia (also known as Stevia leaves) in the Asteraceae family, and has been used as a medicinal herb and sugar substitute in South America for hundreds of years. According to data from the international sweetener industry, steviol glycosides have been widely used in the production of food, beverages, and seasonings in countries such as Asia, North America, South America, and the European Union. China is the world's leading producer of steviol glycosides.

Extraction process :
The extraction of steviol glycosides is achieved by soaking dried leaves of stevia in water, filtering the liquid and separating it from the leaves and stems, and further purifying it using water or food grade alcohol - a completely traditional plant extraction method. Thus obtaining a pure natural and extremely sweet sweetener called steviol, which can be consumed daily but does not affect blood sugar levels.
Application:
The sweetness is 250-450 times that of sucrose, with a slight astringency. Steviol A glycoside has a clear bitterness and a certain degree of astringency and menthol taste, and its taste characteristics are slightly worse than steviol disaccharide A. It is moderately delicious, with less aftertaste after pure tasting, and is the natural sweetener closest to sugar. But when the concentration is high, there will be a strange odor.
Steviol glycoside is stable in solutions of acid and salt, and its properties are relatively stable at room temperature. Easy to dissolve in water, in air
It quickly absorbs moisture and has a solubility of over 40% at room temperature. Steviol glycoside combined with citric acid or glycine has a good taste; When combined with other sweeteners such as sucrose and fructose, the taste is better. It is a good natural sweetener for patients with diabetes and obesity because it is not absorbed after eating and does not produce heat energy.
Usage Suggestions:
Steviol sugar can serve as a flavor enhancer for the following products: steviol glycoside and steviol disaccharide A can be used in ice cream and soft drinks; Steviol glycoside is used to enhance the sweetness of sucrose chloride, aspartame, and saccharin; Steviol glycosides and their salts can be used for ripening fruits and vegetables; Steviol glycoside is added to food, beverages, or pharmaceuticals as an aromatic flavor enhancer; Used for salt free storage of food. Steviol sugar is used together with lactose, maltose syrup, fructose, sorbitol, maltitol, and lactose to make hard sugars. Steviol glycoside can be used to produce chewing gum and bubble gum, as well as candy with various flavors, such as gummies with flavors of papaya, pineapple, guava, apple, orange, grape, or strawberry. Stevia sugar can also be mixed with sorbitol, glycine, alanine, etc. to produce cake powder. Due to its heat stability, steviol glycoside is particularly suitable for this purpose.
Various soft drinks, such as low-energy cola drinks, can also be sweetened with a combination of steviol glycoside and high fructose syrup. Steviol glycosides can also be used in solid beverages, health drinks, sweet wines, and coffee.
