Application
Steviol glycosides are found in the leaves of the stevia plant, and each has a particular taste profile and sweetness intensity
. Steviol glycosides can be isolated from the leaves of the stevia plant. The process of isolating the sweet tasting steviol
glycosides from the leaves of the stevia plant is similar to "steeping" tea leaves. Steviol glycosides are approved for use
in countries such as Australia, Brazil, China, Japan, Korea, New Zealand and Paraguay. In the U.S., steviol glycosides
with high ebaudioside content are Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for use as a tabletop sweetener.
Rebaudioside A is one of the many steviol glycosides in stevia leaves that provide sweetness. In the US, rebaudioside
A is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for use as a general purpose sweetener and may be used in foods and
beverages, excluding meat and poultry products.
