Description
Stevia is a white or slightly yellow powder, which is extracted from the leaves of stevia, a plant in the Compositaceae family. It has the characteristics of high sweetness and low thermal energy. Its sweetness is 200-300 times that of sucrose, and its calorific value is only 1/300 of sucrose. Soluble in water, ethanol and methanol, insoluble in benzene, ether, chloroform and other organic solvents。
Advantage:
1. Low calories: Stevia have extremely low calories and can therefore be used as an alternative sweetener for low - or sugar-free products. It is 300-500 times sweeter than sugar, and only a small amount is needed to achieve the sweet effect.
2. Blood sugar control: Stevia does not cause a significant increase in blood sugar levels, so it is an ideal choice for people with diabetes or those who need to control their blood sugar. It can replace high-sugar foods and reduce glucose intake.
3. No caries: Compared to regular sugar, stevia are not metabolized into acids by bacteria in the mouth, thus reducing the risk of dental caries. It has less demineralization effect on teeth and is more beneficial for oral health.
4. No calories: Since stevioside is hardly metabolized, it produces no calories in the body. This can be beneficial for people who need to control their weight or reduce their sugar intake.
5. Stability: Stevia glycosides have good stability under high temperature and acidic conditions, and will not decompose during food processing or cooking. Therefore, it is suitable for various food and beverage processing processes.

Application
Stevia is widely used in food processing, mainly including baking products, beverages, dairy products and other fields:
Bakery product
In baked products such as cakes, breads and cookies, stevioside, as a natural sweetener to replace traditional sucrose, has the characteristics of low calories and high sweetness, which can effectively reduce the caloric intake of products, while maintaining the texture and taste of products. Studies have shown that stevia glycosides show good thermal stability during baking, and can remain stable at high temperatures of 200 ° C without fermentation or Browning, thus extending the shelf life of the product.
Beverage
Stevia is also widely used in beverages, especially in low-calorie beverages. Due to its high sweetness and low calorie properties, stevia glycosides are widely used in juice drinks, carbonated beverages, etc., to replace traditional sucrose. For example, the Coca-Cola Company used stevioside as a sweetener in the new generation of Coca-Cola products, which successfully achieved a low calorie effect.
Dairy product
In dairy products, stevioside is commonly used in products such as ice cream and yogurt. Due to its thermal stability, stevioside is able to maintain its sweetness and stability in dairy processing without affecting the texture and taste of the product. Studies have shown that stevioside mixed with sucrose results in better sensory scores.
Candy
In addition, stevia glycosides are also widely used in other food processing, such as candy, chocolate, condiments and so on. Its low calorie and high sweetness properties make it an ideal alternative to traditional sugars, helping to reduce the caloric intake of foods while maintaining the flavor and texture of products.
