The complete proton and carbon NMR spectral assignments of a diterpene glycoside isolated from the commercial extract of the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni, 13-[(2-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-3-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl)oxy] ent-kaur-16-en-19-oic acid-[(2-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-3-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl) ester] (1); also known as rebaudioside N, was achieved by the ex...

Steviol glycosides (SG's) from Stevia rebaudiana (Bertoni) have been used as a natural low-calorie sweeteners. Its aftertaste bitterness restricts its use for human consumption and limits its application in food and pharmaceutical products. In present study, we have performed computational analysis in order to investigate the interaction of two major constituents of SG's against homology model ...

The use of non-dairy matrices for probiotic delivery can be beneficial vegetarian, vegan and lactose intolerant consumers. Stevia rebaudiana extract used as sweetener to replace sucrose glucose intolerants. This research evaluated the kefir grains prepare a low-calorie, fruit-based beverage. Fermentation was carried out by inoculating into mixture mango umbu pulps. Two beverages, one containing...

Background: The aim of this study was to formulate and evaluate the noble herbal moisturise gel containing Stevia extract. Methods: The cosmetic gel formulation was designed by using aqueous extract of Stevia rebaudiana leaves in varied concentrations (2.5% and 5.0%) and evaluated using physiological measurements in comparision with a control placebo gel. The initial physicochemical parameters ...

Stevia leaves contain glycosides on which biological activity and sweetening capacity has been reported. Besides the main glycosides—stevioside and rebaudioside A—there are minor glycosides that may contribute to the activity and thus it is important to quantify them. Rebaudioside D is one of the minor glycoside present in S. rebaudiana leaves and there are no reports of a validated method to q...

A pot experiment was conducted in the open net house of the Department of Agricultural Chemistry, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh from January to June, 2007, to study the effect of organic and inorganic fertilizers on the growth, leaf yield, chlorophyll and protein contents of Stevia rebaudiana (Bert.). The experiment was laid out in completely randomized design with three replic...

Increased consumption of artificial and intense natural sweeteners have led to serious health implications safety issues for intended consumers. Among all sweeteners, steviol glycosides (SGs: stevioside & rebaudioside-A) are popularly known as zero-caloric sweetening compounds origin. Hot water extraction (HWE) is considered ecofriendly less expensive, HWE extracts safe human compared organic s...
