This study compares the content of basic nutrients (proteins, fats, digestible carbohydrates, dietary fiber and ash), steviol glycosides, selected antioxidants (vitamin C, total polyphenols) antioxidant activity in dried leaves Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni cultivated Poland, Paraguay Brazil available direct sale. The chemical composition was determined by standard AOAC (Association Official Analyt...

The present study aimed to formulate sucrose-replaced samples with natural or synthetic sweeteners, and benchmark the temporal sensory profile of a control sample (100% sucrose). Acesulfame-K, aspartame, erythritol, rebaudioside M, sucralose replaced sucrose at four different levels (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) in aqueous solutions. A trained panel evaluated check-all-that-apply. sweeteners showed gre...

The Germplasm Bank of Stevia rebaudiana segregants the University Córdoba is a strategy for use genetic variability and efficient crop yield. There are genotypes with important characteristics such as: high tolerance to salt stress climatic change (high CO2 in Earth surface), late flowering, erect architecture, contents steviol glycosides. However, there lack in-depth studies morphophysiologica...

In the present study, genetic diversity among 16 collections of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni was assessed to compare the efficiency of two-marker systems over one marker using RAPD and ISSR markers. How well these two marker systems discriminated the Stevia collections was compared. In fact, all the Stevia accessions included in the present study have been growing under different altitudes, rangin...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In our current food supply, sugar substitutes are widely used in beverages and other food products. However, there is limited information about the link between dietary consumption of sugar substitutes and stroke to date. This study sought to determine the effect of various sugar substitutes on the cerebral ischemic injury and endothelial progenitor cells, which have been...

BACKGROUND The current trend globally is the utilization of natural products as therapeutic agents given its minimum side effects. The leaves of Stevia contain several active ingredient compounds such as rebaudioside. Stevia extract have been used for many purposes. Active oxygen radicals can induce base modifications, DNA breakage, and intracellular protein crosslink's. This study was done to ...

In recent years there has been increasing demand for natural non-nutritive high intensity sweeteners with low-calorie value as an alternative to sucrose. Extracts of the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana (Bertoni), have been known for their sweet taste. Steviosides and rebaudioside-A are the two major diterpenoid glucosides components present in the leaf extracts of the stevia, these glycosides are 3...
