Description
Stevia Extract Product Overview
Stevia extract comes from the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana, a plant native to South America. Producers extract and purify the sweet compounds, called steviol glycosides, mainly stevioside (CAS 57817-89-7) and rebaudioside A, to obtain a white powder. In the EU, steviol glycosides carry the E number E960.
Depending on purity and composition, stevia extract is about 200–400 times sweeter than sucrose and provides practically no calories. It is heat-stable and pH-stable, so it suits beverages, dairy, bakery and confectionery. At high levels it can show a bitter or licorice-like aftertaste; higher rebaudioside A grades reduce this effect.
Formulators often blend stevia with other sweeteners to round off the taste, for example with Xylitol for bulk and mouthfeel or with Sucralose and Acesulfame for a more sugar-like profile.
