LOW PRICE IMPACT, HIGH STABILITY, HIGH DIFFUSION RATE
Stevia provides relatively low manufacturing costs compared to sugar due to its high intensity of sweetness. It would only cost 55% ~ 65% of the sugar price at similar sweetness. An average of molecular weight of stevia sweet is in range of 825 ~ 1300. It’s relatively low molecular weight compated to other enzyme modified stevioside allows it to penetrate into texture of seasoning food and pickles faster and easier.
NO BROWN REACTION
Stevia sweet does not prompt Brown Reaction at cooling and baking and it does not cause the original color to deteriorate during storage. It is readily dissolved during food processing.
