Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni is a small perennial shrub of the Asteraceae (Compositae) family that is native to South America, particularly Brazil and Paraguay, where it is known as "stevia" or "honey leaf" for its powerful sweetness. Several studies have suggested that in addition to their sweetness, steviosides and their related compounds, including rebaudioside A and isosteviol, may offer addit...

Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni is a shrub-like plant of the Asteraceae family, originating from Paraguay and Brazil, where it is used as a sweetener for therapeutic preparations, such as teas and other beverages, for hundreds of years. It is often called “sweet Paraguay honey” (Genus, 2003). The sweetener compound is obtained from the leaves of the plant by extraction (Prakash et al., 2008). The swe...

This study evaluated the application of ultrasound techniques and microwave energy, compared to conventional extraction methods (high temperatures at atmospheric pressure), for the solid-liquid extraction of steviol glycosides (sweeteners) and antioxidants (total phenols, flavonoids and antioxidant capacity) from dehydrated Stevia leaves. Different temperatures (from 50 to 100 °C), times (from ...

Abstract—Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni (natural sweetener) belongs to Asteraceae family and can be used as substitute of artificial sweeteners for diabetic patients. Conventionally, it is cultivated by seeds or stem cutting, but seed viability rate is poor. A protocol for callus induction and multiplication was developed to produce large no. of calli in short period. Surface sterilized nodal, leaf ...

The inhibition for the corrosion of mild steel in sulphuric acid solution by the extract of Stevia rebaudiana leaves has been studied using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization techniques. Inhibition was found to increase with increasing concentration of the leaves extract. The effect of temperature on the corrosion behavior of mild steel in 0.5M H2SO4 w...
