Steviol Glycosides from Stevia Rebaudiana Bertoni (Tentative)

Steviol glycosides consists of a mixture of compounds containing a steviol backbone conjugated to any number or combination of the principal sugar moieties in any of the orientations occurring in the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni including, glucose, rhamnose, xylose, fructose, and deoxyglucose. The product is obtained from the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni. The leaves are extracted with hot water and the aqueous extract is passed through an adsorption resin to trap and concentrate th e component steviol glycosides. The resin is washed with a solvent alcohol to release the glycosides and the product is recrystallized from methanol or aqueous ethanol. Ion exchange resins may be used in the purification process. The final product may be spray-dried.
