stevia powder extract

Huacheng Biotech produces stevia powder extract with a focus on reliable supply and tight specifications. The in-house cultivation-to-extraction model allows control over raw material quality and processing, which translates into a product that performs predictably in food and beverage applications. Typical steviol glycoside content ranges from 80% to 95% (or Rebaudioside A 40%–98%), depending on the grade. The powder is off-white to white, with a particle size 95% through 80 mesh, making it suitable for dry blending without excessive dusting. Solubility is good in water, though slight warming or agitation improves dissolution speed. Its profile is stable under pasteurization (HTST) and UHT processing, though prolonged heating at high pH can degrade sweetness intensity. From a formulation standpoint, the extract’s high sweetness potency means users often apply it at 0.05%–0.2% of the final product weight, which keeps ingredient costs in check. The cost advantages extend beyond the powder itself because Huacheng’s integrated chain reduces intermediary mark-ups, and the extract is priced competitively for bulk orders. The product ships with standard documentation including CoA, MSDS, and can be accompanied by certifications like FDA, HACCP, BRC, CE, GMP as required by the destination market. Applications span dry mixes (cake, pudding, protein shakes), instant beverages, confectionery, dairy, and sauces. When used in bakery, it pairs well with bulking agents to replace sugar’s functional roles. In beverages, it works with small amounts of erythritol or other polyols to round out sweetness and mask any lingering aftertaste. For product developers, Huacheng also provides formulation guidance and can arrange samples for bench-top trials. The production facilities follow GMP and HACCP protocols, and the extraction process uses water or food-grade ethanol, avoiding organic solvent residues.
