Description

Stevia Rebaudiana, Ext. is a high-intensity natural sweetener derived from the leaves of the *Stevia rebaudiana* Bertoni plant. This extract is prized for its zero-calorie sweetness, which is 200-300 times sweeter than sucrose, making it a critical ingredient for sugar reduction strategies. It is essential for manufacturers in the food, beverage, and nutraceutical industries seeking clean-label, plant-based sweetening solutions. Our product, CAS No. 91722-21-3, is produced under stringent quality controls to ensure consistent purity and performance.

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 tablets, capsules, and powders to provide sweetness without added carbohydrates or calories.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Employed as a flavoring agent and sweet excipient in syrups, lozenges, and chewable tablets, particularly for diabetic-friendly medicines.
• Personal Care & Oral Hygiene: Used in toothpaste and mouthwash formulations as a non-cariogenic sweetening agent.
• Industrial Applications: Serves as a starting material for the further purification and isolation of specific steviol glycosides like Rebaudioside A.
