Stevia Powder is a new natural sweetener derived from stevia (or stevia leaves), a herb in the composite family that has been used in South America for centuries as an herb and sugar substitute. International sweetener industry data show that stevia
has been widely used in Asia, North America, South America and European Union countries in the production of food,
beverage, seasoning. China is the world's leading producer of steva.Some soft drink makers, such as Coca-Cola, also offer
stevia-flavored drinks.

Function
(1)Naturally sweet that is 300 times sweeter than sugar and almost zero glycemic index. Being used in food; pharmaceutics, chemical industries, etc.
(2)It can instead of cane sugar as a zero calories sweeter, treat diabetes, hypertension partly and can also treat adiposity, cardiovascular disease, gastritis and acid stomach as an auxiliary method.
Low hygroscopicity
steviol glycosides with purity higher than 80% is pure white or light yellow crystal or powder, has very low hygroscopicity.
High solubility
Easy to dissolve in water, ethanol. When mixed with sucrose, fructose, glucose and maltose, stevioside not only has a more pure flavor, but also its sweetness can be multiplied. Steviol glycosides is heat-resistant, light-resistant, stable in the range of pH 3-10 and easy to store.
High Stability
High Stability: steviol glycosides solution is very stable under different PH and heat process. Test shows that within half a year steviol glycosides doesn't chage in organic acid solution; It doesn't decompose in Alkaline medium, and can prevent fermentation, discoloration and precipitation, reduce viscosity, inhibit bacterial growth and prolong product shelf life.
High sweetness
High sweetness: Stevioside is pure sweet, cool and long. It tastes like sugar, but its sweetness is 200 - 450 times that of sucrose.
