Stevia Extract for Clean-Label Sweetening

Stevia Extract (Steviol Glycosides) is a high-performing natural sweetener widely used as a sugar substitute in modern formulations. Derived from the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana, this ingredient delivers intense sweetness with a pleasant taste profile while functioning as a zero calorie sweetener and a non nutritive sweetener. Offered as a white crystalline powder or an off white powder, our product is engineered to meet strict quality specifications for both food grade stevia and feed grade stevia applications. It is especially valued as a beverage sweetener and a feed palatability enhancer, enabling calorie reduction without compromising flavor.

With flexible grades and multiple purity levels, our portfolio includes options focused on Rebaudioside A content, including highly refined reb A 98% for maximum sweetness and minimal bitterness. Whether you need stevia for beverages, stevia for food, or stevia for feed, we provide reliable consistency, strong regulatory support, and dependable supply.

Identity and Composition

• Product: Stevia Extract (Steviol Glycosides)
• CAS: CAS 57817-89-7
• EINECS: EINECS 260-975-5
• Molecular Formula: C38H60O18 (for Rebaudioside A)
• Appearance: White to off-white crystalline powder; available as white crystalline powder or off white powder

Appearance and Purity Options

Our high purity stevia range includes multiple specifications suitable for different applications. Purity is defined by total steviol glycoside content and by targeted Rebaudioside A levels for optimized flavor performance.

• Purity Range: Total Steviol Glycosides ≥ 90%–99% (including total steviol glycosides 90% and total steviol glycosides 99%)
• Rebaudioside A Options: ≥ 40% to premium grades such as rebaudioside A 98% (also referred to as reb A 98%)
• Premium Grade: stevia 99% glycosides for demanding formulations

Functional Benefits

• Acts as a zero calorie sweetener and zero calorie additive to reduce sugars
• Delivers concentrated sweetness as a sugar substitute with pleasant aftertaste
• Performs as a high-efficiency beverage sweetener for low- and no-sugar drinks
• Provides palatability improvement as a feed palatability enhancer in animal nutrition
• Stable across typical processing conditions in food, beverage, and feed applications

Quality Parameters and Testing

Each batch is tested to ensure compliance with strict quality requirements. Typical analytical limits include:

• Total Steviol Glycosides: 90%–99%
• Moisture: moisture max 5%
• Ash: ash max 1%
• Heavy Metals (Lead): lead max 10 ppm
• Arsenic: arsenic max 2 ppm

Flavor-focused grades emphasize Rebaudioside A for cleaner sweetness, while cost-effective grades maintain balanced glycoside profiles for broader applications.

Applications Across Industries

Stevia Extract is versatile, enabling meaningful sugar reduction while preserving label appeal:

• Food: stevia for food in bakery, confectionery, dairy, table-top sweeteners, and sauces
• Beverages: stevia for beverages including carbonates, juices, flavored waters, energy and sports drinks
• Feed: stevia for feed as a feed palatability enhancer across species, helping improve intake

As a non nutritive sweetener, it supports calorie reduction goals without contributing to carbohydrate load, and it can be blended with acids, flavors, and preservatives for optimal taste and shelf stability.
