General description

Steviol, a diterpenoiic carboxylic alcohol is an aglycone of sweet glycosides which is accumulated in Stevia rebaudiana. ent-kaurenoic acident-KA undergoes hydroxylation reaction in presence of molecular oxygen and NADPH, to yield steviol.

Application

Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.

Stevia rebaudiana leaves contain non-cariogenic and non-caloric sweeteners (steviol-glycosides) whose consumption could exert beneficial effects on human health. Steviol-glycosides are considered safe; nonetheless, studies on animals highlighted adverse effects attributed to the aglycone steviol. The aim of the present study
