Stevioside, also known as stevioside, is a glycoside extracted from the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana. It has the characteristics of high sweetness and low heat energy. Its sweetness is 200-300 times of sucrose, and its calorific value is only 1 / 300 of sucrose
As a new sweetener, stevioside can be widely used in all kinds of food, beverage, medicine and daily chemical industry. Compared with sucrose, stevioside has the following advantages:
4.The cost of sugar is close to one third of that of natural sugar
