White to light yellow crystalline powder. Melting point 198 ℃. 1g the materials can be dissolved in 800ml water, slightly soluble in ethanol. This optical rotation [α] 20/D is-39.3 ° (C = 5.7, H2O). It quickly drains wet in the air. High temperature, acidic and alkaline solution is relatively stable.
Stevioside ,as the sweet components of stevia, is distributed in Stevia leaf stem roots and other parts , but has the highest content in the leaves, and its content changes with the growth process ,and is highest in the squaring stage , non-toxic and safe , low-calorie, stevia is favored for these characteristics, is known as the world's third source of sugar, biological activity and product development studies on stevia arouse the interest of many scholars at home and abroad.
Stevia is a mixture of eight kinds of ligands which is constituted by the same diterpene glycoside . Free of sugar and calories; white to yellowish color and suitable taste, no smell, is the new source of sugar of promising development . Stevioside is a sweetener which has been found in the world and approved by the Chinese Ministry of Health to use, low calorific value and very close to the natural sucrose taste. It Is the third natural sweetener in addition to sugar cane, sugar beet ,having development value and health respected,and has been hailed as the international community, "the world's third source of sugar." Stevia as a food sweetener, is preservative widely used in food industry,to produce high-intensity, low-calorie, low-salt, anti-caries food.

Applicaion of Stevioside
The product has a refreshing sweet taste, sweetness is about 200-300 times that of sucrose. Slightly bitter taste at high concentrations, sweet taste in the mouth is not easy to disappear. The product is one of the natural sweeteners closest to sucrose. As low alorie food sweetener, it can low pressure. As a sucrose substitute agent, the maximum amount should not exceed 1/3, in case of after taste. According to GB2760-86 regulations,it can be used for liquid and solid drinks, candy and pastries according to normal production needs. The disadvantage of this product is its high molecular weight and poor permeability. Mice and rats oral toxicity is LD50> 8.2g/kg.
Stevioside is a glycoside from the stevia plant. Stevioside is a natural sweetening agent with sweetness about 250 times that of sugar with negligible effect on blood glucose. Stevioside, much like other steviol glycoside is known for its application in treatment of many diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure. It is also used as a food additive.
Stevioside is a natural, calorie-free sweetener obtained from the leaves of the plant stevia rebaudiana bertoni. it is a steviol glycoside in which steviol’s carboxyl and hydroxyl hydrogen atom is replaced with glu- cose; it has two linked glucose molecules at the hydroxyl site. it is the major steviol glycoside found in the stevia plant and is 250–300 times sweeter than sugar. it is heat and ph stable. it has been associ- ated with a bitter and licorice taste. see steviol glycoside.
