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.

mona vie juice

Mona Vie Product overview
The Mona Vie product line consists of three forms of bottled juice—Mona Vie Original, Mona Vie Active, and Mona Vie Pulse—as well as gel pack versions of the products. The suggested retail prices for Mona Vie Original, Active, and Pulse juice are $39, $45, and $45.25 respectively, per one 750-mL (25.5 oz.) bottle. The manufacturer’s recommended daily serving size is 2 to 4 ounces.

Mona Vie Original and Active juices list the following ingredients: blend of açaí (freeze-dried powder and whole juice); 100% fruit juice from concentrate (white grape, apple, acerola, aronia, purple grape, cranberry, passion fruit, apricot, prune, kiwifruit, blueberry, wolfberry (goji), pomegranate, lychee, camu camu); fruit purée (pear, banana, bilberry); citric acid, sodium benzoate. In addition to these ingredients, MonaVie Active lists d-glucosamine hydrochloride and esterified fatty acids as additives.

Mona vie Pulse juice, launched on September 25, 2008, lists the following ingredients: blend of açai (freeze-dried powder and whole juice), reconstituted fruit juice blend (Concord grape blend, pineapple, apple, prickly pear, pomegranate, elderberry, yumberry, bilberry, blackberry, blueberry, cherry, cranberry, raspberry, aronia), puree fruit blend (acerola, strawberry, cupuaçu, camu camu), plant sterols (emulsified with corn syrup solids, polyglycerol esters of fatty acids, gum acacia), Apple Phyto-Phenolics (polyphenol blend), omega-3 (cranberry seed oil), resveratrol, natural flavors, potassium sorbate (preservative), sodium benzoate (preservative), citric acid. According to the company, 4 ounces of Mona Vie Pulse provide 0.8 g plant sterols.

A patent application for the freeze-dried açaí powder (Opti-Açaí) used in Mona Vie was submitted to the World Intellectual Property Organization in 2004 by developers Alexander G. Schauss and Kenneth A. Murdock. WIPOs Preliminary Report on Patentability deemed that many of the claims in the patent application did not support the novelty, inventiveness, or industrial applicability of the process, and as of 2008, the patent had not been approved. Opti-açaí is marketed by K2A International, a business partnership between Schauss, Murdock, and MonaVie vice-president Jeff Graham.

Mona Vie Product research
A study on the antioxidant activity of Mona Vie Active juice reported that it had an ORAC score of 22.8 μmol/mL and that it contained 0.47 μg/mL total proanthocyanidins and 1.48 mg/mL total phenolics.

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study in 12 healthy adults suggested that consumption of MonaVie Active led to a modest increase in the resistance of red blood cells to in vitro oxidation by hydrogen peroxide, which was demonstrated using the authors’ newly developed “CAP” assay method. ORAC in serum was not increased nor was serum lipid peroxidation significantly inhibited in test subjects who consumed Mona Vie.

Mona Vie is a nutritional beverage company that distributes beverage products made from blended fruit juice concentrates with açaí pulp powder and purée through a multi-level marketing (MLM) business model. Marketing claims made about the products suggest that they provide antioxidants and health benefits. MonaVie has been the subject of recent media controversy, and several sources have questioned both the product’s value and the legality of claims regarding its reputed health benefits. The manufacturer of Mona Vie products, as well as some of its senior distributors, were involved in four lawsuits between 2007 and 2008.
