Knowledge Bites Webinar: Formulation Tips for Choosing the Right Stevia

Description:  Formulation Tips for Choosing the Right Stevia

Stevia holds nearly 90% of the market share for natural non-nutritive sweeteners. There are more than 100 different steviol glycosides contained in the stevia leaf. While the most common one is Reb A, other commercially available ones include Stevioside, Reb B, Reb C, Reb D, and Reb M. Sugar reduction is an increasingly important global trend and stevia can actually generate cost savings utilizing plant-based ingredients. This webinar will review sweetener trends, compare stevia to other sweeteners and provide guidance on formulating with stevia, in order to produce the best tasting product possible with the latest generation of stevia extracts.
