Product overview

Rebaudioside A at 98% purity is the most widely used steviol glycoside in commercial sugar reduction, and for most applications it remains the economically rational starting point. At 200–300× the sweetness of sucrose, use levels sit in the hundreds of parts per million, which is why its high price per kilogram translates into a low cost per unit of delivered sweetness.

Its known limitation is a mild liquorice or bitter finish that becomes perceptible as the dose rises, particularly in low-acid, low-flavour systems such as dairy and plain water. Below roughly 200 ppm most panels do not detect it. Above that, formulators typically either blend with erythritol or allulose, or step up to Reb M, which is cleaner at higher intensity.

Extracted from Stevia rebaudiana leaf with water and ethanol, purified by resin and recrystallisation, and assayed by HPLC against a reference standard.

Questions about Stevia Extract Powder (Reb A 98%)

What is the difference between Reb A and Reb M?

Both are steviol glycosides from the same leaf, but Reb M occurs in far smaller natural quantities and tastes markedly cleaner, with no liquorice note and a faster sweetness onset. Reb A is considerably cheaper and is sufficient below roughly 200 ppm; Reb M is the better choice for high-intensity or delicately flavoured systems.

How much stevia Reb A replaces one kilogram of sugar?

At 200–300× sweetness, roughly 3.5 to 5 grams of Reb A 98% delivers the sweetness of one kilogram of sucrose. It provides no bulk, however, so a bulking agent such as allulose or erythritol is required in any formulation where sugar was doing structural work.

Can we make this to your specification?

Yes. Mesh size, assay strength, blend ratio, packaging format and label are all specifiable. We are the OEM — if you need this material milled differently, blended with another active, or delivered as a finished encapsulated product under your own brand, that is ordinary work for us rather than an exception.
