Stevioside
Stevia Rebaudiana is an herb in the Chrysanthemum family which grows wild as a small shrub in parts of Paraguay and Brazil. The glycosides in its leaves, including up to 10% Stevioside, account for its incredible sweetness, making it unique among the nearly 300 species of Stevia plants. There are indications that Stevia (or Ca-he-he) has been used to sweeten a native beverage called mate since Pre-Columbian times. However, a Natural Scientist names Antonio Bertoni first recorded its usage by native tribes in 1887.
Stevia sugar is extracted from stevia leaves , it is 200~350 times more than cane sugar in sweetnesss , but only contains 1/300 calories , it is a white pure powder , and has been widely used in food , drinks , pharmaceuticals , daily make-up , brewery , makeup , etc . It has been approved by the Chinese ministry of health as a food additive, it is said that the stevia will be a new third sugar source in the 21 century.
Characteristics
The stevioside molecular formula is C38H60O18
Molecular weight is 804.9
It has six advantages:
1. safety. In the origin places such as Paraguay and Brazil, the local residents have eaten it for hundreds of years. Up till now, no toxicity has been found.
2. Low calorie. Used for making low-calorie food and beverages, and very suitable for consumption by patients of diabetes, obesity and arteriosclerosis.
3. Stevia sugar can be easily dissolved in water and alcohol; when combined with cane sugar, fructose and isomerizes sugar, it will have an even better taste.
4. The property of Stevia sugar is non-fermenting and it has stable properties and will not be moldy easily. It won't change in the making of foods and beverages and is easy to store and transport. Constant use can prevent carious teeth.
5. With a taste similar to that of cane sugar, Stevia sugar has the special features of cooling and sweetness. It can be used for making flavor foods, sweets, etc., and it can also be used as a taste corrector to curb the peculiar and odd tastes of some foods and drugs and serve as a replacement of cane sugar in pharmaceutics, production of syrups, powder preparation and pills. It can also be used in such products as flavors, preserved vegetables, toothpaste, cosmetics and cigarettes.
6. Economical. The cost of using Stevia sugar is only 30%-40% of that of using cane sugar

USAGE
Stevioside as a new natural sweet agent, been widely used in foods, drinks, medicines and daily chemicals, Broadly speaking, in all the sugar products, the stevioside can be used to take the place of cane sugar or gluside, Presently, stevioside is mainly used in drinks and medicine, especially in beverage, It is also used in the frozen food, canned rood, candied fruits, spices, wine, chewing gum and toothpaste, The dosage of stevioside varies according to the difference of products. It can be determined through repeated research and experiments so as to guarantee the quality, feeling and taste of product.
