Stevia leaf extract is a high-intensity sweetener derived from Stevia rebaudiana leaves via solvent extraction and purification. Its primary active components are steviol glycosides, specifically Rebaudioside A (CAS 470-52-6) and Stevioside (CAS 57817-05-1), with molecular formulas C38H60O18 and C33H50O18 respectively.
Storage requires cool, dry conditions below 25°C to prevent hygroscopicity. Regulatory limits apply in specific jurisdictions for concentrated extracts; safety data sheets must be consulted before industrial handling to ensure compliance with GMP standards.
