Product Function
The sweetness is 250 to 450 times that of sucrose, with slightly astringent taste, stevia A side with obvious bitter taste and A certain degree of astringency and menthol taste, taste characteristics are worse than stevia bisoside A, moderate delicious, less pure taste, is the closest to the natural sweetener granulated sugar. However, when the concentration is high, it will have an odor [1].
Stevioside is stable in acid and salt solution and stable at room temperature. Soluble in water and in air
It absorbs moisture rapidly and has a solubility of more than 40% at room temperature. Stevioside has good taste when combined with citric acid or glycine. With sucrose, fructose and other sweet ingredients, good taste quality. It is not absorbed after consumption and does not produce heat energy, so it is a good natural sweetener for patients with diabetes and obesity

Product Application
Stevia can be used as A flavor enhancer in the following products: Stevioside and steviodisoside A are used in ice cream and soft drinks; Stevioside is used to enhance the sweetness of sucrose, aspartame and cyclamate. Steviol glycosides and its salts can be used to accelerate ripening of fruits and vegetables. Stevioside is added to food, beverage or pharmaceutical products as an aromatic flavor enhancer; For salt-free storage of food. Stevia is used in the manufacture of hard candies with lactose, malt syrup, fructose, sorbitol, maltitol and lactoketose. Stevioside can be used in the production of chewing gum and bubble gum, as well as in the production of candies with various flavors, such as gummy candies with flavors of papaya, pineapple, guava, apple, orange, grape or strawberry. Stevia can also be mixed with sorbitol, glycine and alanine for the production of cake mix. Because stevioside is heat stable, it is particularly suitable for this use.
Various soft drinks, such as low-energy cola drinks, can also be sweetened with stevioside and high fructose corn syrup. Stevioside can also be used in solid drinks, health drinks, dessert wines and coffee.
