3.1 What is Stevioside E

3.2 Physical and Chemical Properties

• Appearance: It typically presents as a white to off-white powder, with a fine and uniform texture.
• Solubility: It is soluble in water, making it suitable for a wide range of liquid formulations. In aqueous solutions, it imparts a sweet taste without the cloying aftertaste often associated with artificial sweeteners.
• Stability: Under normal storage conditions, it exhibits good stability, retaining its sweetening potency over time. However, it is advisable to store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prolong its shelf life.

5. Production Process

1. Raw Material Sourcing: We source high-quality Stevia rebaudiana leaves from certified farms. These farms adhere to strict agricultural practices to ensure the purity and potency of the raw material. The leaves are carefully harvested at the optimal stage of growth to maximize the content of Stevioside E.
2. Extraction: The extraction process often employs a combination of water-based extraction and advanced separation techniques. This allows for the efficient isolation of Stevioside E while minimizing the extraction of unwanted compounds. Ultrasonic-assisted extraction may also be utilized to enhance the yield.
3. Purification: After extraction, multiple rounds of purification are carried out. Column chromatography and membrane filtration are commonly used to remove impurities such as pigments, proteins, and other glycosides, resulting in a high-purity Stevioside E product.
4. Drying and Packaging: The purified Stevioside E is then dried using vacuum freeze-drying or spray drying methods to obtain a stable powder form. It is packaged in light-resistant, sealed containers to maintain its quality and prevent moisture absorption.

6. Key Applications

6.1 Food and Beverage Industry

• As a natural sweetener, Stevioside E is widely used in a variety of food and beverage products. It can be found in soft drinks, juices, yogurts, and baked goods. Its high sweetness potency means that only a small amount is needed to achieve the desired level of sweetness, making it a cost-effective alternative to sugar. It also caters to the growing demand for low-calorie and sugar-free options, appealing to health-conscious consumers.
• In diet sodas, for example, it provides the sweet taste without the added calories of traditional sweeteners, helping consumers manage their weight while still enjoying a sweet beverage.

6.2 Pharmaceuticals

• In the pharmaceutical field, Stevioside E has potential applications in formulating medications for patients with diabetes or those who need to control their sugar intake. It can be used to mask the bitter taste of certain drugs, improving patient compliance. Additionally, some research suggests that it may have beneficial effects on blood glucose levels, although further studies are needed to fully understand its pharmacological actions in this regard.

6.3 Cosmetics

• Stevioside E is making its way into the cosmetics industry as well. In lip balms and oral care products, its sweet taste can enhance the user experience. It can also act as a moisturizing agent, helping to keep the lips and skin hydrated. Some formulations use it in facial creams and lotions, taking advantage of its potential antioxidant properties to protect the skin from environmental damage.

7. Physiological Efficacy for Different Groups

7.1 Diabetics and Health-Conscious Consumers

• For diabetics, Stevioside E offers a sweetening option that does not cause a spike in blood glucose levels. This allows them to enjoy sweet-tasting foods and beverages without compromising their blood sugar control. Health-conscious consumers, on the other hand, appreciate its low-calorie nature, which aligns with their goals of maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle.
• By substituting sugar with Stevioside E in their daily diet, they can reduce their overall calorie intake and potentially lower the risk of obesity-related diseases.

7.2 Athletes

• Athletes who need to manage their weight and maintain optimal performance can benefit from Stevioside E. During training and competition, they can consume sports drinks sweetened with Stevioside E to replenish electrolytes without the added burden of excessive calories. This helps them stay hydrated and energized while adhering to their dietary restrictions.
