Description

Stevioside is a high-intensity, natural sweetener derived from the leaves of the *Stevia rebaudiana* plant. This compound offers a significant commercial advantage as a zero-calorie, non-glycemic sugar alternative, making it ideal for modern health-conscious formulations. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the food & beverage, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical industries seeking clean-label, plant-based sweetening solutions.

Application

• Food & Beverage Manufacturing: Used as a primary sweetener in sugar-free and reduced-calorie products, including soft drinks, juices, dairy products, and confectionery.
• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: Incorporated into weight management products, vitamin blends, and health powders where a non-caloric sweetener is required.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Employed as an excipient to improve the palatability of syrups, chewable tablets, and oral suspensions, especially for diabetic patients.
• Tabletop Sweeteners: A key ingredient in consumer sachets, liquid drops, and granulated sugar substitutes for home and foodservice use.
• Personal Care Products: Used in oral care products like toothpaste and mouthwash as a sweetening agent without promoting tooth decay.
• Industrial Fermentation & Processing: Can serve as a substrate or processing aid in certain biotechnological applications.

Quality Control

Our Stevioside is produced under strict quality management systems. We offer grades compliant with major international standards, including Food Chemicals Codex (FCC), European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.), and JECFA specifications. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing via HPLC, and a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided to ensure purity, identity, and safety for your intended application.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking and degradation.
