Rebaudioside A is a high-purity, natural sweetener derived from the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant. It is a steviol glycoside composed of steviol bonded to glucose and other sugar moieties, creating a sweetening compound that is significantly sweeter than sucrose. Offering a pleasant taste with minimal bitterness, Rebaudioside A is ideal for calorie-conscious consumers seeking a healthier alternative to traditional sugar. Commonly used in food and beverage products, including soft drinks, juices, yogurt, confectioneries, and desserts, Rebaudioside A provides a natural sweetness profile without added calories, making it perfect for low-calorie, sugar-free, and reduced-sugar formulations. Additionally, it is heat-stable, pH-stable, and non-fermentable, ensuring versatility across a wide range of applications, including baked goods and beverages, maintaining sweetness integrity during processing. Its natural origins and safety profile make it a popular choice for producers aiming to meet consumer demand for healthier, plant-based sweeteners.
