Stevia Leaf Extract Steviol Glycosides Powder

Product Description

What is Stevia Leaf Extract?

Stevia is a herb native to South America whose leaves are rich in sweet compounds. Stevia Leaf Sweetener has attracted a lot of attention for its high sweetness, low and zero calories, and is ideal as a sugar replacement.

The main active ingredient of Stevia Extract is steviol glycosides, including steviol glycoside A, steviol glycoside B, steviol glycoside C, etc. These compounds provide sweetness in the mouth, but with a higher sweetness intensity than traditional sucrose and other synthetic sweeteners, requiring only a small amount to achieve the same sweetness.

In addition, Sweet Leaf Extract is relatively stable and resistant to high temperatures, making it suitable for use in cooking and baking. It has a long shelf life compared to other sweeteners. This makes it a common substitute in the food manufacturing industry, where it is widely used in the creation of pastries, beverages, ice cream, chewing gum, and other products.

What Is Steviol glycosides？

Steviol glycosides are naturally occurring intense, zero-calorie sweeteners found in the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant and used in many products, including those marketed as stevia. They are diterpene glycosides, with stevioside and rebaudioside A being prominent examples that are 100-400 times sweeter than sugar and do not raise blood sugar levels. They are approved as food additives in many countries and can be produced by extraction, enzymatic bioconversion, or fermentation to improve taste and purity for use as a sugar alternative.

Steviol glycosides do not provide calories and do not impact blood sugar levels, making them suitable for managing sugar intake.

Steviol glycosides are approved as food additives in regions including Europe, the USA, Australia, and New Zealand, where they are often labeled as a sweetener with the E-number 960.

Steviol glycosides Uses and applications

Steviol glycosides (SGs) are used primarily as high-intensity, low-calorie natural sweeteners in a wide range of foods and beverages, including drinks, yogurts, desserts, and confectionery. Beyond sweetness, they offer functional properties such as emulsifying and foaming capabilities, act as delivery systems for active encapsulation, and improve the organoleptic properties of foods. Steviol glycosides also have demonstrated biomedical activities, including anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, antibacterial, and potential anti-tumor effects, though more clinical studies are needed to confirm these in humans.

• Uses in Food and Beverages

Sweeteners: Steviol glycosides are used to provide sweetness in products like soft drinks, juices, dairy-based beverages, yogurts, desserts, and various other food items.
Sugar Substitute: They serve as a natural, calorie-free substitute for sugar in food and beverage formulations, making them a popular choice for low-calorie products.
Table-Top Sweetener: Stevia extracts containing steviol glycosides are also used directly as table-top sweeteners for individuals to sweeten their own foods and drinks.

• Functional Applications

Enhanced Emulsifying and Foaming: Steviol glycosides have interfacial activity, allowing them to act as biosurfactants and improve the emulsifying and foaming properties of plant-based foods.
Active Encapsulation: They can function as a delivery system for enclosing and releasing other active ingredients within food products.
Improved Organoleptic Properties: Steviol glycosides can contribute to enhancing the overall sensory qualities, or organoleptic properties, of food proteins.

• Potential Health Applications

Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory Effects: Steviol glycosides have shown antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties in studies, potentially helping to protect against cellular damage.
Metabolic Regulation: Research indicates potential benefits in glucose and lipid metabolism, with some studies showing effects on blood sugar control and lipid profiles.
Anti-Tumor Potential: In vitro studies have suggested that steviol glycosides may possess anti-proliferative actions against certain cancer cell lines by promoting apoptosis.
Immune Regulation: Steviol glycosides have also been linked to immune-modulating activities in various studies.
