What is Stevia Extract?

The purified stevia extract is made by steeping the leaves of the plant to remove the sweet compounds, called steviol glycosides, which are 250 to 300 times sweeter than table sugar. Marketers tout stevia as a “natural” alternative to artificial sweeteners like saccharine and aspartame.

Stevia leaf extract comes from the stevia plant, which originates in South America. The primary components extracted from the stevia leaf are called steviol glycosides. Extract from these plants are used in stevia sweeteners to provide a sweet taste without calories in many foods and beverages.

Our stevia extract is premium grade powder, concentrated from the leaf powder. It is not organic. It is white in appearance and is water soluble and is around 300 times sweeter than cane sugar. Our stevia extract has a minimum of 60% Rebaudioside A, which is the sweetest part of the stevia plant, therefore there is very little bitter after taste, which you can taste more of in the stevia leaf.

Stevioside is a new type of natural sweetener extracted from stevia. South America has been using stevia as a herb and sugar substitute for hundreds of years. According to the data of the international sweetener industry, stevioside has been widely used in the production of food, beverages and seasonings in Asia, North America, South America and European Union countries. China is the world's leading producer of stevia, as well as a producer and exporter of stevioside.

The sweetness is 250-450 times that of sucrose, and the calorific value is only 1/300 of sucrose. It is a suitable sweetener for patients with diabetes and obesity.

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.
