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.

Whilst visiting family in Sagada, Philippines I discovered the Beekeepers Association of Sagada.

This organisation comprises of local environmental guides, farmers and local business people. Initially self taught a few of the founding members learnt about beekeeping, and have been sharing the knowledge amongst their group. Now the group has grown to 25 members, with around 50 colonies owned by the group.
Involved in organic farming and reforestation, beekeeping is important for the environment as bees help to reproduce plants through pollination. Similar the honey produced will produce an additional income for the members. Finally introducing honey more into the households than just relying on refined sugars is something beeKAS believe in around potential health benefits.

The video came about a few days just after Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) struck the Philippines. Whilst in Sagada I was around 1000km away from the eye of the storm and felt helpless in directly helping the people affected by the typhoon. What was clearly apparent that life had to go on, people had livelihoods to maintain.
What really interested me about the project was the environmental aspect of this organisation and their general approach to protecting the area. Beekeeping was a personification of this and is utterly important in the production of plants and trees. But also the sale of honey is a new income stream on top of their day job. The power of nature was seen to brutal affect with the typhoon, and this organisation respects that. With the affects of climate change seeming more prominent, any organisation that’s helping to promote what is good for the environment should get the exposure and help that it deserves.
