Stevia Extract

Stevia Extract Powder provides high-purity, zero-calorie sweetness, ideal for clean-label beverages, confectionery, and nutrition applications.

Nutri Partners is your expert source for Stevia Extract powder wholesale. Extracted from the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant, this high-intensity sweetener is the global benchmark for natural sugar reduction. Unlike synthetic alternatives, Stevia offers a clean label solution with zero calories and zero glycemic index. We specialize in high-purity extracts rich in Rebaudioside A (Reb A), ensuring maximum sweetness with minimal bitter aftertaste for your beverage and food formulations.

Key Features

  • Purity Grades: We supply specific high-purity grades: Reb A 95%, 97%, and 98%, as well as total Steviol Glycosides (SG 95%).
  • Sweetness Potency: Approximately 200 to 300 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar), allowing for extremely low dosage rates.
  • Sensory Profile: Clean, sweet taste. Our high Reb A grades are selected to minimize the licorice-like notes often associated with lower quality extracts.
  • Stability: Excellent heat stability (pH stable), making it suitable for baking and UHT processing.
  • Dietary Status: 100% Plant-Based, Non-GMO, Keto-friendly, and suitable for diabetics.

Applications

Stevia is transforming the low-calorie market across all sectors:

  • Beverages: The primary application—used in soft drinks, juices, and flavored waters to reduce sugar by 30-100%.
  • Tabletop Sweeteners: Blended with bulking agents (like Erythritol or [Inulin]) to create “spoon-for-spoon” sugar replacements for home use.
  • Dairy: Sweetening yogurts and milk drinks without adding calories.
  • Sports Nutrition: A key ingredient in protein powders and BCAAs to mask the bitterness of amino acids without adding carbohydrates.
  • Confectionery: Used in sugar-free chocolates and gums.

Technical Description: Stevia Extract Powder Wholesale

From a chemical perspective, the sweet taste of Stevia comes from steviol glycosides. The two most common are Stevioside (more abundant but bitter) and Rebaudioside A (sweeter and cleaner).

When sourcing Stevia Extract powder wholesale, the “Reb A” percentage is the critical specification.

  • Standard Stevia (SG 90-95%): Good for cost-effective applications where flavor masking is possible.
  • High Reb A (97-98%): Essential for delicate applications like water or mild teas, where the “off-notes” must be virtually non-existent.
  • Technologists must remember that Stevia provides sweetness but no bulk. In baking applications, it must be paired with a bulking agent (like fiber or polyols) to replace the volume and mouthfeel lost by removing sugar.

Packaging & Logistics

Because Stevia is so potent, the packaging volumes are smaller than bulk commodities.

Packaging: 10 kg or 20 kg drums/cartons with hermetic PE liners. (Note: 10kg of Stevia sweetens as much as 3 tons of sugar).

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Proper sealing is required to maintain potency.

Samples: We offer small samples (e.g., 50g) of various Reb A grades for your sensory panels.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I eliminate the bitter aftertaste of Stevia?

The bitterness is intrinsic to certain glycosides (like Stevioside). The best solution is to buy a higher purity grade (Reb A 97% or Reb M). Alternatively, formulating with flavor modulators or blending Stevia with Erythritol can significantly mask any lingering metallic notes.

Is Stevia considered a "Natural Flavor" or "Additives"?

In the EU, it is classified as a food additive (E960 - Steviol Glycosides). However, because it is extracted from a leaf, it allows for "Plant-based" and "Natural origin" marketing claims, which consumer highly prefer over "Artificial Sweetener" labels used for Aspartame

Can I bake with Stevia?

Yes. Unlike Aspartame, which breaks down at high temperatures, Stevia is heat stable up to 200°C. It will not caramelize (brown) like sugar, so baked goods may remain paler unless a browning agent is added.
