Steviol glycosides, often misidentified as "stevia alcohol," are high-intensity sweeteners derived from Stevia rebaudiana. The core process involves solvent extraction followed by enzymatic hydrolysis to isolate steviol. While pure steviol (CAS 470-82-6) is the aglycone, commercial products typically refer to purified glycoside mixtures like Rebaudioside A.
Strict adherence to ADI limits (4 mg/kg bw/day) is required. Store in cool, dry conditions away from moisture to prevent degradation. Ensure proper PPE during handling to avoid respiratory or skin irritation from fine powders.
