Why Food Manufacturers Choose Our Stevia Extract?

95% Reb A Purity = Clean Sweet Taste

Our various stages remove chlorophyll and tannins from lower-quality extracts, which have unpleasant aftertastes. Consistent sweetness without undertones that might affect your product's flavour.

Tech benefit: HPLC testing ensures ≥95% Rebaudioside A in each batch, ensuring consistent sweetness in production.

Heat-Stable by High-Temptation Processing

Our stevia extract is stable up to 202°C, unlike other zero-calorie sweeteners. This makes it appropriate for:

· UHT beverage processing (flash pasteurisation)

• Baking apps (cookies, muffins, protein bars)

· Hot-fill sauces and syrups

After retort sterilisation deteriorated their prior supplier's stevia, one beverage maker switched to ours. Our product stayed delicious after 121°C/15min autoclaves.

GMO-Free & Organic Options

Certified organic farms with complete traceability supply our stevia leaves. This helps health-conscious customers access clean-label medicines.

Supply chain transparency:Every shipment includes a Certificate of Origin and organic certification.

Technical Performance Data

Solubility & Dispersion

80-100 mesh for rapid dissolution.

With agitation, dissolves in room-temperature liquids in 2-3 minutes.

Over 60°C, instant dissolving.

Add 70:30 erythritol to stevia to reduce sweetness and improve texture.

Chemical Stability

Condition	Stability Result
pH 3.0-9.0	No degradation after 6 months
Carbonated beverages	Stable through 12-month shelf life testing
Dairy products	Compatible with milk proteins (no precipitation)
Fruit preparations	No interaction with ascorbic acid or citric acid

Metabolic Profile

Steviol glycosides from stevia leaf extract powder pass through the digestive system without being metabolized for energy. Clinical studies show:

· Zero glycemic impact(suitable for diabetic-friendly products)

· Zero caloric contribution

· Excreted as steviol glucuronide(no accumulation in tissues)

This allows "sugar-free," "keto-friendly," and "diabetic-appropriate" label claims when formulated properly.

Application Guidelines by Product Category

Beverages (Most Common Use)

Typical usage rate:0.02-0.05% (200-500 ppm)

Beverage Type	Recommended Level	Notes
Carbonated soft drinks	0.03-0.04%	Stable in pH 2.5-3.5 cola formulations
Flavored water	0.02-0.03%	Pair with natural flavors to balance profile
Sports drinks	0.03-0.05%	Compatible with electrolytes
Ready-to-drink tea	0.02-0.03%	Works well with tea tannins

Case example: A regional beverage manufacturer substituted 10% of their sugar with our stevia extract (0.025% dose), decreasing calories by 40 per serving while maintaining taste test ratings over 7.5/10.

Bakery & Confectionery

Challenge:Stevia doesn't provide bulk or browning like sugar.

Solution:Combine with bulking agents:

· Erythritol (for structure)

· Allulose (for browning and moisture retention)

· Inulin (for fiber content and texture)

Typical ratio: Stevia + bulking agent combination for 30-50% sugar.

Heat stability: Our extract stays delicious for 25+ minutes at 180°C.

Dairy & Frozen Desserts

Usage rate:0.03-0.06% depending on fat content

Performance notes:

· Dissolves readily in milk-based formulations

· No effect on protein stability during homogenization

· Maintains sweetness through freeze-thaw cycles

Flavor pairing:Vanilla, chocolate, and fruit flavors complement stevia's profile. One ice cream manufacturer achieved 60% calorie reduction using our stevia with allulose.

Protein Powders & Supplements

Why supplement brands choose stevia:

· Clean label appeal (consumers recognize the ingredient)

· Zero carb contribution (important for keto and low-carb products)

· Heat-stable if product undergoes spray-drying

Typical dosage:0.5-1.0% of finished powder (blended with other ingredients before flavoring)

FAQ

Q: Is stevia sweeter than sugar by weight?

A: Average 95% Reb A stevia extract is 300 times sweeter than sugar. One gram of our stevia replaces 300 grams of sugar. Most stevia usage require erythritol or maltodextrin to add texture and volume.

Q: Does stevia reduce product life?

A: The bacteria cannot thrive on non-fermentable stevia. Some formulations may last longer. In properly stored finished items after 24 months, our stability testing shows no sweetness loss.

Q: Is your stevia bitter?

A: Our 95% Rebaudioside A reduces the bitterness of other steviol glycosides like stevioside. Taste perception varies:

Most consumers do not experience bitterness at normal dose levels (not over-sweetened).

By adding complementing flavors like vanilla, lemon, and chocolate, balanced profiles are achieved.

Blending with other sweeteners (erythritol, allulose) enhances mouthfeel.

We advocate customer taste panels throughout formulation development.

Q: Each order includes what paperwork?

A: Shipment standard:

Certified Analysis (COA) with test results

Sheet of specifications

Safety Data Sheet (SDS)

Requestable:

This product is OU Kosher certified.

Halal certification

Organic certificate offered for organic orders.

Statement on allergens

GMO-free proclamation

Statement from BSE/TSE

Q: Can I acquire samples before bulk ordering?

A: Yes. Formulation testing is free with 100g samples. Please email us for samples and indicate your application (beverage, bakery, etc.). Samples ship in 1-2 business days.

Q: Storing bulk stevia powder: how?

A: Ideal conditions:

The temperature should be below 25°C (77°F).

Humidity: <60% RH

Consider storing in opaque containers or dark environments to reduce light exposure.

Container: Seal drums firmly between usage.

Why it matters: Stevia absorbs moisture. High humidity can produce caking and flowability issues. Proper storage preserves powder properties for 24 months.

Q: Is formulation technical support available?

A: Yes. Free application assistance from our R&D team includes:

Recommended use rates for your product category

Blending with other sweeteners guidance

Troubleshooting taste or solubility difficulties

Protocols for stability testing

We optimise sweetness profiles and cost effectiveness with your team throughout product creation.

Q: Your lead time for out-of-stock items?

A: NOur usual 95% Reb A grade: 3-4 weeks from raw material to completed product. Customer demand-based manufacturing estimates reduce stockouts, although seasonal supply changes can lengthen lead times.

Pro tip: Ask about our inventory reserve service for big or recurrent orders—we can keep stock for your production schedule.
