stevioside

Sweetener / sweetener
Stevioside is a new natural sweetener extracted from Stevia rebaudiana, an herb of Compositae. It has the characteristics of high sweetness and low heat energy. Its sweetness is 200-300 times that of sucrose, and its calorific value is only 1 / 300 of sucrose. A large number of drug experiments have proved that stevioside has no toxic side effects, no carcinogens, and is safe to eat. Regular consumption can prevent hypertension, diabetes, obesity, heart disease, dental caries and other diseases. It is an ideal sweetener to replace sucrose. Stevia can be widely used in food, beverage, medicine, daily chemical industry, wine making, cosmetics and other industries, and the cost can be saved by 60% compared with sucrose. Stevia is pure white in color, suitable in taste and no peculiar smell. It is a new sugar source with broad development prospects. Stevia is a natural low calorific value sweetener close to the taste of sucrose, which has been found and approved by the Ministry of health and the Ministry of light industry. It is the third natural sucrose substitute with development value and health promotion after sugarcane and beet sugar, and is internationally known as the "third sugar source".
