Ingredient Overview
Stevioside is a characteristic sweet compound from stevia leaves. A stevioside-rich grade has a defined composition distinct from Reb A, Reb M or mixed-glycoside products.
A stevioside-rich ingredient offers a particular composition within the broader stevia category. Its intense sweetness can be balanced with other glycosides or bulk ingredients to shape the finished taste. This makes it relevant to sweetener development where flavour balance matters as much as the nominal sweetness level.
