Steviasuavé™ -- the all natural stevia
enzymatically treated to leave no bitter aftertaste.
Stevia extract, part of the chrysanthemum
family of plants, dates back more than a century to
Paraguay, Brazil and China. Made from the glycosides
naturally extracted from the leaf of the stevia herb plant
Stevia Rebaudiana, it has traditionally been used to
control glucose levels in the blood. Some animal studies
have also shown that stevia can lower blood pressure in
hypertensive rats. Stevia contains a broad range of
phytonutrients, minerals and other healthful elements.
Steviasuavé™
is processed using a unique
enzymatic enhancement technology
which removes any
bitter or metallic aftertaste; therefore, Stevisauvé
requires
no taste masking and additional artifical flavors in your
formulations.
Steviasauvé
has a higher heat stability point
than conventional stevia, which enables it to preserve
Vitamin C for a longer period of time.
PLT offers Steviasauvé
with 80% steviosides, natural and
non-GMO product in conjunction from our partner Stevia
Biotechnology Corporation.
