Steviol glycosides are extracted from the leaves of the Asteraceae plant Stevia rebaudiana.
Steviol glycoside is a natural sugar substitute, which is extracted from the leaves of the Asteraceae plant Stevia rebaudiana. Steviol glycosides have the characteristics of high sweetness and low calories. Its sweetness is 200-300 times that of sucrose, but its caloric value is only 1/300 of sucrose. This makes steviol glycosides an ideal sugar alternative for use as a sweetening enhancer in foods and beverages. The extraction process of steviol glycosides is obtained by extracting, filtering, and concentrating stevia leaves.
