sweet tea vine leaf extract

The extract centers on rubusoside, a steviol-like glycoside with a clean sweetness onset and minimal bitterness when compared to Rebaudioside A. Typical powder assays range around 80–95% total glycosides, with solubility exceeding 20% w/v at room temperature, which makes it straightforward to work into concentrates and ready-to-drink formulations. Heat stability holds up through pasteurization and tunnel baking, so taste panels rarely flag changes in sweetness intensity. From a cost perspective, the numbers tilt in your favor because the raw leaf yield is high and our extraction lines are built around lean manufacturing—fewer polishing steps, shorter cycle times, and no unnecessary purification that adds overhead. Regulatory documentation covers FDA GRAS self-affirmation pathway, and the facility runs under HACCP and GMP systems that third-party audits like BRC confirm annually. Applications span more than just drinks: snack bars, plant-based yogurts, and sugar-free tabletop blends all test well with the powder version. We also ship a liquid concentrate for manufacturers who prefer to dose by pump rather than weigh powder. If your project runs on a predetermined cost-in-use target, it’s worth pulling a side-by-side comparison with stevia and monk fruit—the price delta often surprises procurement teams.
