Overview of Stevia

Stevia is a natural zero-calorie sweetener extracted from the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant. It is widely used as a sugar alternative in food, beverages, dietary supplements, and pharmaceutical formulations. Stevia is known for its intense sweetness—up to 200–300 times sweeter than sucrose—without affecting blood glucose levels, making it popular among diabetic and health-conscious consumers.

Its CAS number is 57817-89-7, and it is commonly supplied as steviol glycoside powder, granules, or liquid extract. Stevia is often blended with Erythritol, Maltodextrin, Monk Fruit Extract, Sucralose, or Natural Flavours to improve taste profile and stability in formulations.

Application of Stevia

Food and Beverages

Stevia is used in soft drinks, juices, baked goods, confectionery, chewing gums, yoghurts, and ice creams. It provides sweetness without adding calories and can help reduce sugar content in processed foods.

Dietary Supplements and Pharmaceuticals

It is used in tablets, syrups, and powder formulations as a natural sweetener. Stevia is preferred for sugar-sensitive populations, including diabetic patients, due to its low glycemic impact.

Cosmetic and Personal Care Products

In oral care products like toothpaste, mouthwash, and lozenges, Stevia provides sweetness and improves taste without promoting tooth decay.

Industrial and Speciality Applications

Stevia can also be used in nutraceuticals, functional foods, and health-focused beverages. Its high sweetness intensity allows for small dosages, reducing formulation costs and calories.

Safety and Handling Guidelines

• Store in a cool, dry place

• Keep containers tightly closed

• Avoid moisture absorption
