Key Insights:
• PureCircle Alpha provides a lower
sweet aftertaste, and can provide a
similar sweetness to Reb A with a
significant reduction in sweet
linger.
• Reb A provides higher initial
sweetness
• SG-95 has delayed sweetness but
more rounded profile
• Time intensity profiles are being
used to create stevia blends that
optimize sweetness profiles and
minimize negative attributes such
as bitter and metallic

Stevia 3.0™ Development Approach
•
Start with the sweetness factor
charts
•
•
•
•
Flavour
Modifier
Taste each sweetener individually to
determine profile contributions
•
•
They serve as a guide, and will be
application specific
Acid Profile
Blend accordingly to best match
sweetness and flavour
Use stevia solutions for development
for accuracy and quickness
Be mindful of steviol equivalents
Optimize stevia, then acids, then
flavours, and lastly modifiers

Stevia 3.0™ Development Approach: Flavour Synergies
•
•
•
•
•
Citrus:
• Reb A complements peely and bitter
citrus flavors
• SG95 complements juicy citrus notes
• Alpha can enhance or suppress
depending on concentration
Berry: Varies with fruit
Tropical:
• Reb A enhances chemical notes
• SG95 and Alpha are complementary
Orchard (apple, pear): SG95 is
complementary
Earthy/Herbal:
• Reb A enhances bitter, roasted and
earthy notes
• SG95 maintains (complementary)
• Alpha suppresses roasted and earthy
notes (smooth or flatten profile)

Beverage Applications
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Acid and temperature stability
Sweetness and flavour quality stable through shelf life
Achieving desired sweetness levels with Reb A alone may be difficult in
some beverages
The use of Alpha allows for greater sugar reductions with cleaner taste
Blending small amounts of caloric or non-caloric sweetener provides
improved sweetness profiles
Stevia shows excellent synergy with fructose, sugar and several polyols
Acid blends (e.g. citric acid + malic acid or lactic) can contribute to a
better sweetness and flavour profile
Salts can help achieve improved flavour profile (Na salts)
Blending stevia sweeteners enables better preservation of flavours and
acids, and creates more sugar-like profiles
