Stevia Extract

Product Name: Stevia Extract

 

Description

Stevia extract is a plant the leaves of which are commonly used to produce a no calorie sweetener. Stevia contains compounds that are 30-150 times the sweetness of sugar and may have a licorice-like aftertaste when taken in large amounts.

The glycosides in stevia primarily include rebaudioside and stevioside, which have several properties that make it useful as an artificial sweetener. It is up to 150 times as sweet as sucrose, commonly known as table sugar, but doesn’t provide any calories. Stevia is also stable with respect to heat and pH level, and won’t ferment.
