Product Features
High sweetness: The sweetness is 200-450 times that of sucrose, and the sweetness varies depending on the product specifications.
Low calorie: The calorific value is only 1/300 of sucrose, producing almost no heat.
Good stability: The storage structure is stable under dry conditions, does not absorb moisture, and the shelf life can reach 2 years; In a solution with a pH value of 4-8 and an addition of 300PPM, the hydrolysis stability period exceeds 52 weeks.
Application fields:
Food and beverage: can be used for carbonated beverages, fruit juice beverages, dairy beverages, solid beverages, ice cream, candies, bread, pastries, etc., to replace some or all sucrose, reduce calories, and extend shelf life.
Pharmaceutical field: It can be used as an auxiliary therapeutic agent for medicine to produce special drugs or health food for patients with diabetes and obesity.
Daily chemical industry: can be used in toothpaste and mouthwash to improve taste and effectively mask the unpleasant taste of other ingredients.
Stevioside is a natural sweetener widely used in the food industry. With people's attention to food health, the compound application of sweeteners has become an important way to reduce sugar in food. The synergistic application of steviol glycosides, sugar alcohols, artificial sweeteners and other sweeteners can not only increase sweetness and improve flavor, but also help reduce food production costs and enhance processing stability.
