Stevia is a sweetener and sugar substitute extracted from the leaves of the plant species Stevia rebaudiana.
The active compounds of stevia are steviol glycosides (mainly stevioside and rebaudioside), which have up to 150 times the sweetness of sugar,are heat-stable, pH-stable, and not fermentable.These steviosides have a negligible effect on blood glucose, which makes stevia attractive to people on carbohydrate-controlled diets. Stevia's taste has a slower onset and longer duration than that of sugar, and some of its extracts may have a bitter or licorice-like aftertaste at high concentrations.
1. Erythritol is a very popular sweetener, which is unique natural polyol sweeteners with non calorie and clear cool mouth feel.
2. Erythritol is a polyol (sugar alcohol) which is very popular for use in baking and as a general sweetener in low carb diets.
3. Erythritol, as alternatives to sugars and as part of a comprehensive program including proper dental hygiene has been recognized by the American dental association.

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.
