Stevia Extract powder is a natural sweetener made from the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana. It contains Steviol Glycosides, the compounds responsible for its clean sweetness. Our Stevia Leaf Extract is produced through water or food-grade ethanol extraction, followed by purification steps to remove impurities and reduce bitterness.
Compared with standard market products, our Stevia Extract powder offers controlled sweetness intensity, reduced aftertaste, and higher purity options to meet different formulation needs. Every batch goes through identity testing, HPLC analysis of Steviol Glycoside profiles, microbiological checks, and heavy-metal monitoring. This ensures stable quality for use in foods, beverages, supplements, and low-sugar applications.

Benefits of Stevia Extract powder
Choosing Steviol Glycosides for your formulation brings significant advantages, supported by scientific data:
- Zero Calorie & Zero GI: It does not affect blood glucose levels or insulin response, making it the ideal sweetener for diabetics and weight-management products.
- High Stability: Stevia Extract powder is incredibly stable. It can withstand high temperatures (up to 200°C), making it perfect for baking. It is also stable in acidic environments, ensuring a long shelf life in beverages.
- Clean Label: Consumers are checking labels more than ever. Using Stevia Leaf Extract allows you to claim "Plant-Based," "Natural Origin," and "No Artificial Sweeteners" on your packaging.
- Cost Efficiency: Because it is 200 to 300 times sweeter than sucrose, a very small dosage is required, which can reduce your storage costs and logistics footprint compared to bulk sugar.
Applications
Stevia Extract powder is widely used as a natural sweetening ingredient in:
- Beverages: Teas, flavored waters, powdered drinks, juices.
- Foods: Baked goods, dairy products, cereals, confectionery.
- Nutritional Products: Protein powders, health supplements, meal replacements.
- Sugar Reduction Formulas: "No sugar," "low sugar," and "zero calorie" product lines.
- Tabletop Sweeteners: Stick packs, tablets, and blend formulations.
Its high stability and clean profile make Natural Sweetener Stevia a reliable alternative to synthetic sweeteners.

FAQ
Q1: What is the difference between Reb A and Total Steviol Glycosides (SG)?
"Total Steviol Glycosides" (e.g., SG95) refers to the sum of all sweet compounds in the leaf. It is cost-effective but may have a slight herbal aftertaste. "Reb A" (Rebaudioside A) is the specific molecule with the best taste profile. A higher Reb A percentage means a cleaner, sweeter taste with less bitterness.
Q2: Does your Stevia Extract powder have a bitter aftertaste?
All stevia has some inherent aftertaste if used incorrectly. However, our high-purity Reb A and our Enzyme Modified Stevia are specifically processed to minimize this. For the best taste experience, we recommend our Reb M or our Stevia/Erythritol blends.
Q3: Is your product suitable for EU and USA markets?
Yes. Our product meets the JECFA standards, US FDA GRAS requirements, and EU Regulation (E960). We can provide the specific documentation required for compliance in your region.
Q4: Can you provide Organic Stevia Extract powder?
Yes, we offer certified Organic Stevia Extract powder. Please specify if you need the NOP (USA) or EU Organic standard when you request a quote, as the documentation differs slightly.
Q5: What is the recommended dosage?
Since pure Stevia Extract powder is extremely potent, the dosage is very low (usually 0.01% to 0.05% of the final formula). We recommend conducting small-scale lab tests to find the perfect sweetness balance for your specific product.
