Some properties of stevioside

1. Sweetness and Flavor Properties

The sweetness of stevioside is about 300 times that of sucrose, and the taste is similar to that of sucrose. The sweetness multiple has decreased, and it has a slightly bitter taste. The sweetness of stevioside in cold drinks is higher than that of the same concentration of stevioside in hot drinks.

2. Heat resistance

Stevioside has good heat resistance, and its sweetness remains unchanged when heated below 95°C for 2 hours; when the pH value is between 2.5 and 3.5, and the concentration of stevioside is 0.05%, it can be heated at 80° to 100°C for 1 hour. The residual rate of stevioside is about 90%.

3. Solubility of stevioside

Stevioside is soluble in water and ethanol, etc., but insoluble in organic solvents such as benzene and ether. The higher the degree of refinement, the slower the dissolution rate in water. The solubility in water at room temperature is about 0.12%.

4. Bacteriostasis

Stevioside is not assimilated and fermented by microorganisms, making it antibacterial, which makes it widely used in the pharmaceutical industry.
