The effects of different nitrogen doses on dry weight yield, stevioside and rebaudioside A contents, yields were evaluated in stevia (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni). This study was carried out at the Instituto Federal Catarinense, Rio do Sul (SC), Brazil, under decreasing photoperiods. randomized complete block design with four blocks five treatments (0, 65, 135, 200 270 kg ha-1 N) used. Variables ...

Stevia rebaudiana (Bert.) produces steviol glycoside sweeteners that are sweeter than sucrose. Stevioside and rebaudioside A important glycosides used in food production. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of different concentrations cadmium chloride (0, 20, 40, 60 80 mg/L) silver nitrate 15, 30, 45 sampling times on stevioside production Ent-kaurenoic acid 13-hydroxylase, uridi...

Abstract Cake is a popular bakery product consumed by almost everyone due to its low economic cost and shelflife, however, it recognised unhealthy because of high fat sugar contents. The aim this study was evaluate physicochemical sensory properties muffins baked using 100% replacement as stevia sweetener (rebaudioside A erythritol) chia seed mucilage, respectively. combination with gel (SCC) h...

The food industry is moving towards the use of natural sweeteners such as those produced by Stevia rebaudiana due to the number of health and safety concerns surrounding artificial sweeteners. Despite the fact that these sweeteners are natural; they cannot be assumed safe. Steviol glycosides have a steroidal structure and therefore may have the potential to act as an endocrine disruptor in the ...
