Product Information

• Name: Steviol glycosides
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Steviol glycosides are natural sweeteners, which are extracted from the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant with glycosidic compounds as their principal components. These compounds interact with taste receptors on the tongue, specifically the T1R2 and T1R3 proteins, to produce a sweet sensation via non-caloric pathways, as they do not undergo the metabolic processes typical of carbohydrates. Steviol glycosides' primary use is in the food and beverage industry as a non-caloric sugar alternative, facilitating reduced sugar formulations while maintaining sweetness. They are also employed in pharmaceuticals and dietary supplements, where reduced caloric intake is desired. Due to their high-intensity sweetness and stability under heat and pH variations, steviol glycosides are preferred in various formulations, including baked goods and carbonated beverages. Their natural origin and metabolic neutrality offer advantages for developing health-conscious products.
