SteviaSweet Family | Stevia
Stevia is at the forefront of plant-based sweeteners. Stevia is not a single component—the term refers to compounds found within the stevia leaf. More than 10 different sweet steviol glycosides can be found within the stevia leaf. Rebaudioside A (Reb A) is the best known. Steviol (aglycone), Stevioside, Dulcoside A, Rubusoside, Rebaudioside B, D, E, and F follow. Icon Foods' SteviaSweet steviol glycoside formulas can be used by food and beverage manufacturers as an ingredient in diet sodas, light or low-sugar juices, flavored waters, canned fruits, condiments, ice cream, flavored milk, and yogurt—both dairy and plant based. The SteviaSweet product line can also be used effectively in baked goods, cereals, chocolate, syrups, and confections. This line works to provide a balanced sweetness profile when used in tandem with low intensity sweeteners such as erythritol and allulose. For a complete formula, we recommend adding resistant digestive fibers in the form of FOS, soluble tapioca fiber, or inulin. This will provide body while increasing mouthfeel and texture.
