Description



Product Description

Stevia Extract RA98 is a high-purity, high-potency botanical sweetener extracted from natural stevia leaves (Stevia rebaudiana). As a highly effective natural sugar reduction solution for the food and beverage industry, RA98 delivers intense sweetness over 450 times that of sucrose, with total steviol glycosides reaching ≥ 99% and Rebaudioside A content at ≥ 98%.

The high concentration of Rebaudioside A significantly reduces lingering bitterness and off-flavors associated with lower-purity stevia extracts, resulting in a cleaner, more enjoyable taste profile while maintaining exceptional sweetening potency. It helps formulators drastically reduce calories and sugar content in finished products while maintaining outstanding thermal stability and pH adaptability (pH 4.5–7.0). Featuring excellent powder flowability—with an 80-mesh specification—and superior formulation compatibility, RA98 serves as an efficient industrial-grade solution to replace sucrose and traditional artificial sweeteners in sugar-free beverages, tabletop compound sugars, bakery products, and health supplements.

Key Features & Highlights

  • Ultra-High Sweetening Potency: Sweetness is over 450 times that of sucrose, achieving target sweetness at micro-dosage levels to significantly lower overall R&D and raw material transportation costs.

  • Ultra-High Purity Botanical Extract: Sourced from premium stevia leaves, featuring total steviol glycosides ≥ 99% and Rebaudioside A ≥ 98%.

  • Superior Flowability & Particle Control: 80-mesh fine powder consistency provides excellent dispersion uniformity and fast dissolution in pre-mixing and dry-blending production.

  • Zero-Calorie & Blood Sugar Friendly: Metabolically inert, preventing blood glucose spikes and serving as an ideal core ingredient for Clean Label and low-carb (Keto) formulations.

  • Rigorous Quality Standards: Total heavy metals ≤ 10 ppm, Lead ≤ 0.5 ppm, and zero pathogen detection, fully complying with strict global food safety regulations.

Formulator's Guide & Processing Advantages

  • Solubility & Dosage Control: RA98 exhibits good water solubility and dissolves quickly in aqueous solutions. Due to its extreme sweetness (450x), pre-dilution or dry-blending with bulk sweeteners like erythritol is recommended for precise dosage control.

  • Processing Stability: Demonstrates exceptional physical and chemical stability within the pH range of 4.5–7.0. It withstands high-temperature processing (such as pasteurization, UHT, and baking) without undergoing Maillard reactions or thermal degradation.

  • Synergistic Blending: Ideal for co-blending with erythritol, allulose, or monk fruit extract (Mogroside V) to optimize the overall sweetness curve and mask trace aftertastes while maintaining high sweetening power.

Applications

  • Sugar-Free & Low-Sugar Beverages: Ideal for sparkling waters, ready-to-drink teas, energy drinks, and flavored waters, providing high-potency, stable natural sweetness.

  • Tabletop Sweeteners & Sugar Packets: Functions as a high-intensity sweetening base co-granulated or dry-blended with bulk carriers like erythritol to create 1:1 or 1:10 sugar substitutes for coffee, tea, and home baking.

  • Sauces & Culinary Dressings: Suitable for sugar-free BBQ sauces, ketchups, and salad dressings. Its strong acid stability (pH 4.5–7.0) prevents sweetness decay in acidic food environments.

  • Tablets, Capsules & Functional Supplements: Widely utilized in chewable tablets, dietary supplement powders, and chewable capsules to mask the natural bitterness of active ingredients without affecting tablet hardness.


Quality Assurance & Global Compliance

  • International Compliance: Fully complies with Chinese National Standard GB1886.355-2022 and JECFA (2010) specifications for smooth access to global markets.

  • Strict Heavy Metal & Microbe Testing: Tested batch-by-batch via HPLC and AAS to ensure residual solvents and heavy metal levels (lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium) remain well below international thresholds.

  • Non-GMO & Allergen-Free: 100% plant-derived from stevia leaves, non-GMO, non-irradiated, and free from common allergens to support Clean Label claims.
