Stevia Extract

[Characteristics]

Stevia sugar features high sweetness and low calorie and its sweetness is 200 350  times of that  of cane sugar but its calorie is only 1/300 of that of cane sugar.

The component of stevia extract that gives it its sweetness is a mixture of various steviol glycosides. The components of sweetness in stevia leaves are stevioside, rebaudioside A, C, D, E and dulcoside A. Rebaudioside C, D, E and dulcoside A are small in quantity. The principal components are stevioside and rebaudioside A.

The quality of stevioside and rebaudiosideA is better than those of other components, which are commercially extracted and used in various applications.

The steviol glycosides present in stevia extract are referred to as “steviosides” or ¡°stevia extract¡±. Among these “steviosides”, the most common is Stevioside followed by RebaudiosideA. The Stevioside has a slight and pleasant herbal taste and the Rebaudioside-A has no herbal taste.

Although Rebaudioside C and dulcoside A are small in quantity in stevia extract, they are the major components giving bitter aftertaste.

[Function]

A large number of pharmaceutical tests have proved that stevia sugar has no side effects, carcinogens, and is safe for eating.

Compared with cane sugar, it can save 70% of the cost. With pure white color, pleasing taste and no peculiar smell, Stevia sugar is a new sugar source with broad perspective for development. Stevia rebaudianum sugar is the natural low hotsweet agent mostly similar to the flavor of cane sugar, approved to be used by State Ministry of Health and Ministry of Light Industry.

It is the third natural succedaneum of cane sugar and beet sugar with development and health care value, extracted from the leaves of the herbal vegetable of the composite family-stevia rebaudianum.

If you thought henna was the only natural way to hide grey hair, think again. Lemon juice, onion and curry leaves can also help in concealing and slowing down greying of hair. Vivek Sahni, director, luxurious and Ayurveda brand Kama Ayurveda, suggests how to make different pastes for hair: * Make a paste of organic henna powder, amla (gooseberry) powder, and coffee powder with curd. Apply on hair and leave it on for one to two hours and wash it off with mild chemical-free shampoos. * Apply a paste of organic henna powder and organic indigo powder with lemon juice and yogurt on the hair and let it stay for one to two hours and then wash it off with mild shampoo. * Dry amla and fenugreek paste also prevents hair greying. * Mix onion and lemon juice and apply on scalp and hair evenly. Leave it for 30 minutes and wash it off. * Add one handful of curry leaves to 200 ml of coconut oil and boil till the leaves turn black. Let it cool. Strain the oil in a container. Massage your scalp and hair, one hour before showering. Tips to slow down greying: * Include more leafy green vegetables, beans, grapes and citrus fruits in your diet. * Avoid caffeine, junk food, alcohol and smoking. * Use mild shampoo and conditioner. * Try to do stress-relieving exercises such as yoga and meditation. * Drink plenty of water.
