stevia whole leaf extract

The stevia whole leaf extract from Hunan Huacheng Biotech is a powder derived from dried Stevia rebaudiana leaves using water extraction and subsequent purification steps. Unlike highly refined single-glycoside products, this extract retains a broader spectrum of leaf compounds, which can contribute to a more rounded sweetness profile. For manufacturers watching ingredient costs, it offers a practical alternative to purified stevia extracts, still qualifying as a natural sweetener on labels. The supply chain is vertically integrated: we contract with growers and process the leaves in our own facility, which holds FDA, HACCP, GMP, BRC, and CE certifications. This structure cuts out brokers and helps keep pricing predictable. The extract dissolves readily in water-based systems like teas and sports drinks, and its fine powder form blends evenly in dry mixes such as cake flours and protein powders. In dietary supplements, it works well combined with monk fruit extract (another product we supply) to balance sweetness and mask aftertaste. Each shipment comes with a certificate of analysis listing steviol glycoside profile, moisture, ash, and microbiological tests. The product is non-GMO, gluten-free, and vegan-compatible. Our application specialists can suggest starting usage levels and pairing options to reduce any bitter notes typical of whole leaf extracts. Whether you need a sample for benchtop trials or a container load for production, we can arrange delivery directly from our China factory.
