The objective of this research is to extract stevioside from stevia rebaudiana leaves by using cellulase from Aspergillus Niger. Acetate buffer and ethanol were used as a medium for enzyme and as a solvent, respectively. In this present study, the enzymatic extraction of stevioside from stevia rebaudiana leaves was carried out using cellulase with.
Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni; Family Asteraceae) is a natural sweetener plant that is grown commercially in many parts of Brazil, Paraguay, Central America, Thailand, Korea, China and India. The leaves of stevia are the source of sweet glycosides. It is mainly used as a sweetener and flavor enhancer in the food and beverage industry.
Stevia rebaudiana produces compounds called steviol glycosides in its leaves; it is these compounds that have been isolated for use as a non-caloric sweetener. Stevia may have some health benefits. In animal studies and lab research, it has been found to increase insulin sensitivity and exert antioxidant properties.
Artificial sweetener is, basically, a replacement for sugar, the main difference being that the sweetener has fewer calories than its natural analogue.It is of white color, powdery and has no particular smell. Although it is said to be a sugar substitute, it is important to note that these substitutes can be subdivided into natural (for example, agave) and artificial sweeteners (e.g. aspartame).
Stevia: Functional Food used as a Low Calorie Alternative Sweetener. Research Paper. Emily Brantley. February 24, 2011. FOS 4041. Professor Ross. Introduction. In the past decade there has been an outburst of research and production of foods created with Stevia increased development of consumer food products that are sweetened with Stevia.
The following LCS are still awaiting GRAS status by the FDA until further research is available, but are permitted in the food supply: Steviol Glycosides come from the South American Stevia plant, Stevia rebaudiana. Steviol glycosides are found in foods and beverages in the U.S. under the names Rebaudioside A (or Reb A), Stevioside, Rebaudioside D, or steviol glycoside mixtures that contain.
The effects of administration of Stevia rebaudiana extracts for 20, 40 and 60 days on renal function and mean arterial pressure in normal Wistar rats were evaluated. Results showed that the Stevia rebaudiana treated rats group for 20 days did not significantly differ from the control group. Chronic administration of a crude extract for 40 and 60 days induced hypotension, diuresis and.
Research Papers on Sugar Addiction Research papers on sugar addiction discuss how today's foods containing added sugar has created an addiction, which causes a host of illnesses if not under control. Research paper on sugar addiction focus on the affects of sugar on the body and what transpires when a person becomes addicted to sugar.

Some research shows that stevia might decrease blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes. In theory, stevia might cause an interaction with diabetes medications resulting in blood sugar levels going too low; however, not all research has found that stevia lowers blood sugar. Therefore, it is not clear if this potential interaction is a big.
