Stevioside Sweetener

What is Stevioside Sweetener?

Stevioside Sweetener is a sweetener naturally found in stevia. That is steviol diterpenoid glycosides, commonly known as steviol glycosides. The application of this sweetener originated in the indigenous peoples of Paraguay in South America. Steviol glycosides were successfully isolated from Stevia in the 1930s by two French chemists. 

In the 1970s, Japan began to introduce the Asteraceae plant, stevia, from South America and successfully cultivated it. Later, stevia began to be used in the Japanese food industry as a sweetener. Shortly afterward, China introduced stevia from Japan and the trial planting was successful. stevia stevioside are collectively called steviol glycosides. There are many kinds of steviol glycosides, mainly including rebaudioside A family, rebaudioside C family, rebaudioside F family, and so on.

What are the types and derivatives of Stevioside Sweetener?

There are many types of steviol glycosides. More than 30 kinds of steviol glycosides have been found. It mainly includes the more common stevioside and rebaudioside A, and rebaudioside M and rebaudioside D, which have gradually become the mainstream of the world. and Rebaudioside R and Rebaudioside S with lower content. 

The basic skeleton of these steviol glycosides is roughly the same, the difference lies in the chemical structure of the substituents. In addition, steviol and steviol derivatives of steviol glycosides are also continuously studied. Steviol glycosides and their derivatives not only exhibit excellent properties that can be used in the food industry but also exhibit special physiological functions.

What are the features of Stevioside Sweetener?

Stevioside, the molecular formula is C38 H60 O18. The substituents at the R1 and R2 positions of the basic skeleton are β-Glc and β-Glc-β-Glc(2→1), respectively, and the relative sweetness is 250 to 300 times. 

Stevia Stevioside is one of the major ent-kaurene-type diterpene glycosides in the Stevia plant. Stevioside has been used commercially to sweeten many foods in South America, Japan, and China. But the downside is that it has a certain bitter aftertaste. At present, the extraction method of stevioside is basically the same as that of rebaudioside A, mainly including microwave-assisted extraction, supercritical fluid extraction, and pressurized hot water extraction.

stevia stevioside Benefits:

stevioside rebaudioside has a certain anti-inflammatory effect and is a gastroprotective agent. It can block calcium channels to inhibit smooth muscle contraction, reduce gastric abnormalities caused by histamine in rainbow trout, and is a potential reason for reducing histamine-induced acid secretion and inhibiting the action of pepsin. 

Stevioside has a diuretic function and induces vasodilation, which reduces plasma volume. Several human-based studies have also shown that steviol glycosides affect the cardiovascular system, causing hypotension, shortening the time of contractions, and thus reducing the incidence of stroke. Clinical trials have shown that stevioside can reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Some in vivo and in vitro studies have also shown that stevioside has a hypoglycemic effect, and its mechanism is mainly to increase insulin secretion.
