With industry conferences and trade shows suspended these days, the SoPure team has been looking at taking our industry roadshow and seminars virtual. As such, we’re excited to share our “SoPure Stevia Technology Snapshot” presentation which was originally prepared for the 2020 Clean Label Conference, a Global Food Forums event.
The presentation by Technical Director Hank Wang focuses on Glucosyl Stevia and Reb E, a lesser known but especially promising glycoside of the Stevia plant. The seminar was ranked among the top submissions by the event’s Technology Snapshot Advisory Panel and is now available to watch online.
Hank offers valuable insights on how stevia may be well-known for its sweetness, but that new stevia-based natural flavors can also provide more mouthfeel and offer flavor-blocking capabilities. In particular, Glucosyl or enzyme-modified stevia exhibit great potential due to their cleaner taste and lower cost. In addition, Reb E is an emerging glycoside that has less off-notes compared to Reb A.
