stevia whole plant extract

Stevia whole plant extract from Hunan Huacheng Biotech is produced through water extraction of dried stevia leaves, followed by filtration, concentration, and spray drying. The resulting powder retains the glycoside profile native to the leaf: stevioside, rebaudioside A, rebaudioside C, and traces of dulcoside A. The exact composition depends on the leaf variety and harvest, but our integrated supply chain ensures batch-to-batch consistency within agreed specifications. The extract is a light yellow to brown powder, soluble in water and ethanol, with a sweetness potency approximately 50–100 times that of sucrose, depending on the glycoside ratio. This lower potency compared to pure Reb-A makes it suitable for applications where bulk sweetness and mouthfeel are more forgiving, such as baked goods, sauces, and some dairy products. Huacheng's cost advantage comes from owning each step—cultivation bases, extraction lines, and purification know-how. We don't outsource key processes, so we pass savings to buyers who need consistent volumes. Certifications (FDA, BRC, etc.) mean the facility meets international standards for food safety. Applications span beverages, confectionery, nutraceuticals, and tabletop sweeteners. For brands targeting “natural” labeling, stevia whole plant extract aligns with clean label trends while keeping the ingredient cost in check. Technical support includes guidance on solubility, pH stability, and synergistic blending with monk fruit or other sweeteners Huacheng also supplies. Storage: sealed, cool, dry place; typical shelf life 24 months when stored properly. Packaging available in 25 kg fiber drums or as requested. Since the extract is not a single molecule but a complex natural product, minor sensory variations can occur; our QC team adjusts process parameters to maintain the targeted taste profile within tight limits. For R&D formulators, we can provide small samples with a certificate of analysis so you can evaluate how the extract performs in your matrix before scaling up.
