1. Stevia Extract powder
80% - 95% sweet glycosides - the processed form of stevia leaves to concentrate on the sweet glycosides by removing unwanted plant matter. a white or off white fine powder. this powder is 200 - 300 times sweeter than cane sugar. quality of the powder depends on purity of the glycosides (i. e. 80% - 95% pure) and the ratio of rebaudioside-a over stevioside. the higher the ratio, the better the product taste. commonly referred to as "stevioside".
2. stevia extract mix (stevioside with filler)
due to the great strength of stevia extracts, it is common to add a filler to "tone" down the strength so that the stevia extract is easier to use and more palatable. these fillers are usually some form of non-sweet Food Additive that has little to non nutritive value such as erythritol.
3. rebaudioside-a
high purity rebaudioside-a is crystallized selectively from the stevia extract using high level of refining technology. quality of rebaudioside-a depends on its purity (i. e. 40% - 98% pure rebaudioside-a) and the ratio of rebaudioside a over stevioside. the higher the ratio, the better the product taste. commonly referred to as "rebaudioside-a".
4. stevia extract without bitter aftertaste
normal stevia extract contains 5% to 7% rebaudioside c and dulcoside a which are the bitter aftertaste components. with special membrane filtration technology, these bitter aftertaste components can be reduced to as low as 0.2%, and the product taste will be greatly improved, bitter aftertaste almost disappears
