Characteristic:
White or off-white crystalline granule or
powder with a cool sweet taste that is not easy to disappear. It's
about 250-350 times sweeter than cane sugar. The lowest sweet density
that can be felt is 0.002%. There is a little aftertaste when the
concentration is too high.Its melting point is 196-198℃. It is heat
stable and acid/alkali stable (PH3-9). For example, if we add it
into soft drink of PH3.0 for 30 days in room temperature, there
is no change at all. The solubility in water is about 0.12%. It
is quite easy to dissolve in ethanol. As a non-fermentable sweetener,
it is quite suitable for the food that is not easy to sterilize
by heat, which doesn't cause maillard reaction and keep finished
product white. Among natural sweetening agents, its taste is quite
similar to that of cane sugar. Its molecular weight is a little
large and penetrability is poor, which is its shortcoming. Stevioside
appears the largest absorbing peak value at 210nM wavelength on
ultraviolet-spectrometer, which can be used as quantification standard.
Application:
As a natural sweetening agent for no calorie
food, it has the function of lowering blood pressure and promoting
metabolism as well as treating hyperacidity. It is always used as
sweetening agent for licorice or cane sugar and always used with
citrate sodium to improve the sweet taste, which is mainly applied
in bitter drinks, carbonate drinks, candied fruits, fried food,
salted and dried foods, dental hygiene as well as tobacco and etc.
