Stevia

Stevia: A Leading Natural Sweetener

 Stevia is a zero-calorie, plant-based sweetener that is 200-350 times sweeter than sugar and widely used in beverages, baked goods, dairy, and more. Its extracts contain steviol glycosides, which deliver sweetness while remaining heat-stable, pH-stable, and non-fermentable. Advances in purification, including high-purity options like SteviaMAX™ from Apura Ingredients, have enhanced stevia’s taste, reducing bitterness and improving functionality in formulations.

Exclusively from Apura Ingredients, high-purity SteviaMAX™ is the latest innovation in stevia, delivering exceptional performance with a clean, sweet taste. Designed for optimal food and beverage applications, it provides high potency, a balanced flavor profile, and a cost-effective solution for manufacturers focused on clean-label and sugar reduction initiatives.

Stevia pairs well with allulose, erythritol, and monk fruit for a balanced, sugar-like experience. With rising consumer demand for clean-label, low- and no-sugar products, stevia continues to drive innovation across global food and beverage markets.

Although some earlier prototypes had an unappealing and bitter aftertaste, stevia has since evolved to have a much better taste profile than what was initially offered. Get in touch for more information!
