Monk Fruit Extract/Luo Han Guo Extract Mogroside V

Product Description

What Is Monk Fruit Extract？

Monk fruit extract is a natural, calorie-free sweetener derived from the monk fruit (Luo Han Guo), a small, round fruit native to China. It gets its intense sweetness from naturally occurring compounds called mogrosides, which are significantly sweeter than sugar and do not contain calories or carbohydrates, making it a popular choice for sugar substitutes. The extract is produced through a multi-step process that extracts the sweet mogrosides from the fruit.

Because pure monk fruit extract is extremely potent, it’s often blended with less sweet fillers like erythritol or allulose to create a 1:1 sugar replacement for everyday use.

Key Characteristics
Intense Sweetness: Mogrosides make monk fruit extract 150 to 250 times sweeter than table sugar.
Calorie-Free: It contains no calories or carbohydrates.
Non-Nutritive: It is considered a non-nutritive sweetener.
No Known Side Effects: The FDA considers it “generally recognized as safe” (GRAS), with no known side effects.

Advantages

Natural Sweetener: Derived from a fruit, making it a “clean label” alternative to artificial sweeteners.
Zero Calories and Carbs: Contains no calories or carbohydrates, making it ideal for weight management and keto/low-carb diets.
No Blood Sugar Impact: Mogrosides are metabolized differently than sugars and do not trigger an insulin response, making it suitable for people with diabetes.
Antioxidant Properties: Mogrosides have antioxidant properties that can help neutralize free radicals, which cause oxidative stress and cell damage.
Anti-Inflammatory Effects: The anti-inflammatory properties of mogrosides may help reduce inflammation linked to various health conditions.

Mogroside and Mogroside v

Mogroside refers to a general group of natural sweeteners found in monk fruit, with Mogroside V being a specific type and the most abundant and sweetest. Mogrosides are triterpene glycosides of cucurbitane derivatives, and Mogroside V is a major component, offering 100 to 250 times the sweetness of sugar.
