It is a glycoside extracted from the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana, a composite plant. Stevia rebaudiana, native to Paraguay and Brazil, which is characterized by high sweetness and low heat energy. Its sweetness is 200-300 times that of sucrose, and its calorific value is only 1/300 of that of sucrose.
1. It is widely used as sweetener, additive and flavoring agent in food industry and pharmaceutical industry.
2. The inhibition of stevia extract on melanocyte activity shows that it is a more effective whitening additive for cosmetics than kojic acid.
3. Stevia extract can inhibit Legionella pneumophila, and Legionella pneumophila can cause skin infection under air-conditioning environment, so stevia extract can play a role in preventing dermatitis or eczema.
