Harvesting:The first step is to harvest the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant. The leaves contain the steviol glycosides, which are responsible for the sweet taste.
Drying:After harvesting, the leaves are dried to reduce their moisture content. This helps in preserving the quality of the leaves during storage and transportation.
Crushing or grinding: The dried leaves are crushed or ground into smaller particles, increasing the surface area for the extraction process.
Extraction:There are several methods for extracting steviol glycosides from the crushed leaves. Some common methods include:
Filtration:After the extraction process, the liquid extract undergoes filtration to remove any remaining plant material and impurities, leaving a more concentrated solution of steviol glycosides.
Purification:The concentrated extract may still contain other compounds alongside the steviol glycosides, so further purification is necessary. Various purification techniques, such as chromatography, ion exchange, or precipitation, are used to separate and isolate the steviol glycosides.
Concentration: The purified steviol glycosides are then concentrated to increase their sweetness. This step reduces the volume of the final product, making it more efficient for storage and transportation.
Drying and crystallization: The concentrated extract is dried, and the steviol glycosides are crystallized to obtain a pure form of stevia sweetener. This powder or liquid is the final stevia extract ready for use as a natural sweetener in various food and beverage products.
