Stevioside is the main sweetener (along with rebaudioside A) found in the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana, a plant originating in South America.Dried leaves, as well as aqueous extracts, have been used for decades as a sweetener in many countries, notably in Latin America and Asia (Japan, China). [3]
Rebaudioside A (sometimes shortened to "Reb A") is a steviol glycoside from the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana that is 240 times sweeter than sugar. [2] Rebaudioside A is the sweetest and most stable steviol glycoside, and is less bitter than stevioside. [3] Stevia leaves contain 9.1% stevioside and 3.8% rebaudioside A. [3]
Steviol glycosides do not induce a glycemic response when ingested, because humans cannot metabolize stevia. [4] [5] The acceptable daily intake (ADI) for steviol glycosides, expressed as steviol equivalents, has been established to be 4 mg/kg body weight/day, and is based on no observed effects of a 100 fold higher dose in a rat study.
