Stevioside,as the sweet components of stevia, is distributed in Stevia leaf stem roots and other parts , but has the highest content in the leaves, and its content changes with the growth process ,and is highest in the squaring stage , non-toxic and safe , low-calorie, stevia is favored for these characteristics, is known as the world's third source of sugar, biological activity and product development studies on stevia arouse the interest of many scholars at home and abroad.

Stevia is a mixture of eight kinds of ligands which is constituted by the same diterpene glycoside . Free of sugar and calories; white to yellowish color and suitable taste, no smell, is the new source of sugar of promising development . Stevioside is a sweetener which has been found in the world and approved by the Chinese Ministry of Health to use, low calorific value and very close to the natural sucrose taste. It Is the third natural sweetener in addition to sugar cane, sugar beet ,having development value and health respected,and has been hailed as the international community, "the world's third source of sugar." Stevia as a food sweetener, is preservative widely used in food industry,to produce high-intensity, low-calorie, low-salt, anti-caries food.

Usages: (1) China's "food additives health standards" (GB 2760-1996) provides that: appropriate stevia is used in candy, cakes, drinks according to production needs .

(2) the actual use of reference:

①when stevioside is mixed with fructose and sucrose or isomerized sugar, its sweetness is improved, so is taste. When using steviocide instead of about 30% sucrose ,the results are better. General amount of orange juice 0.75g/L; fruity gel 0.1g/L; ice cream 0.5g/L. Use 20g stevioside instead of 3.2kg sucrose making egg bread, its shape, color, softness are good and taste good; use 14.88kg stevioside instead of 0.75kg sodium saccharin making plum, it has delicious flavor, aftertaste cool.

②Calorific value of stevioside is only 1/300 of cane sugar, and is not involved in metabolism in the body, and thus is suitable for making health food for the diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease patients. For candy, it has anti-caries effects.

③Rebaudioside A (the second main component of ordinary stevioside, 400 times the sweetness of sucrose) of high purity emerges in recent years ,its products and α-G-stevioside by enzymatic conversionf, have better taste and better or food, beverage.

This product can be used as a sweetener for glycyrrhizin. And it is often used with sodium citrate to improve the taste quality.

Uses: Stevioside is a glycoside from the stevia plant. Stevioside is a natural sweetening agent with sweetness about 250 times that of sugar with negligible effect on blood glucose. Stevioside, much like other steviol glycoside is known for its application in treatment of many diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure. It is also used as a food additive.

Stevioside is a natural, calorie-free sweetener obtained from the leaves of the plant stevia rebaudiana bertoni. it is a steviol glycoside in which steviol’s carboxyl and hydroxyl hydrogen atom is replaced with glu- cose; it has two linked glucose molecules at the hydroxyl site. it is the major steviol glycoside found in the stevia plant and is 250–300 times sweeter than sugar. it is heat and ph stable. it has been associ- ated with a bitter and licorice taste. see steviol glycoside.
