A Real Natural Caloric Free Sugar: SteviaExtracts of the leaves of the stevia plant (Stevia
rebaudiana Bertoni) has been used as Food additives for more than 400 years in Paraguay. It does not
join the metabolism, has no toxicity and was approved and widely used in Asia, Indonesia, Russia, USA, Paraguay, Brazil, Australia
and other countries. The components responsible
for the sweet properties of the plant are glycosides of steviol, primary stevioside (ent-13-hydroxykaur-16-en-18-oic acid),
which is 250-300 times sweeter than sucrose and rebaudiosides A and C.
Novact
Corporation is now offering and enzymatically modified Stevia, that have neither bitterness
nor astringency that imparts a mild, soft , fresh and pleasant sweetness taste suitable with no limit to all and every
food for those individuals desiring to restrict the intake of sugar without missing it's delicious flavor: The Glucosyl
Stevioside.
Glucosyl Stevioside 80%
Enzymatically Modified Stevia
The components responsible for the sweet properties of the plant are glycosides of steviol, primary stevioside (ent-13-hydroxykaur-16-en-18-oic
acid), which is 250-300 times sweeter than sucrose and rebaudiosides A and C. The Glucosyl Stevioside, Enzymatically
Modified is produced by allowing alpha-glucosyl transferase to react for 20 hours during the production of the sweetener from
dissolved mixtures of stevioside and alpha-glucosyl sugar compound from alpha-glucosyl stevioside and obtain the glucosylstevioside.

Sweetener
Stevioside
and steviol have been subjected to extensive genetic testing. The majority of the findings show no evidence of genotoxic activity.
Neither stevioside nor its aglycone steviol have been shown to react directly with DNA or demonstrate genotoxic damage in
assays relevant to human risk. The mutagenic activity of steviol and some of its derivatives, exhibited in strain TM677, was
not reproduced in the same bacteria having normal DNA repair processes. The single positive in vivo study measuring single-strand
DNA breaks in Wistar rat tissues by stevioside, was not confirmed in experiments in mice and appears to be measuring processes
other than direct DNA damage. Neither stevioside nor steviol-induced clastogenic effects at extremely high dose levels in
vivo. Application of a Weight-of-Evidence approach to assess the genetic toxicology database concludes that these substances
do not pose a risk of genetic damage following human consumption.
