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.
The main sweet ingredients are stevioside, steviolbioside, rebaudioside A (R-A), rebaudioside B (R-B), rebaudioside C (R-C), rebaudioside D (R-D), rebaudioside E (R-E), and dulcoside A (Dul-A).
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.
