Stevia in Food Manufacturing: Key Applications and Uses

Frozen desserts are another potential application. Manufacturers need to consider the complete formulation and how the selected sweetener interacts with other ingredients used in the product.

Confectionery

Confectionery products can have specific requirements for sweetness, texture and processing. Stevia may be considered where an appropriate grade and formulation approach are suitable.

Chewing Gum

The Aojing Stevia product page lists chewing gum among its applications.

Tabletop Sweeteners

Stevia can also be supplied for tabletop sweetener applications, giving consumers a convenient way to use a concentrated sweetening ingredient in drinks or food.

Stevia for Food Manufacturing

For commercial manufacturers, sourcing Stevia requires more consideration than simply identifying a sweetener.

Procurement and product development teams should evaluate the ingredient according to the intended application, production volumes and supply requirements.

Product Quality and Grade

Different Stevia grades can have different characteristics. Manufacturers should select the appropriate grade based on their formulation and desired outcome.
