Stevia Pure Extracts  production process

Stevia pure extracts are derived from stevia leaves using these steps:

1. Harvesting: Stevia plants are harvested, usually by hand, to collect the leaves.
2. Drying: The leaves are dried to reduce moisture content and preserve them for further processing.
3. Crushing: The dried leaves are crushed or ground into a powder to increase surface area for extraction.
4. Extraction: The crushed leaves are steeped in hot water to extract the sweet compounds, mainly stevioside and rebaudioside.
5. Filtration: The extract is filtered to remove plant material and impurities, leaving a liquid extract.
6. Purification: The liquid extract undergoes a purification process, often using methods like precipitation, membrane filtration, or chromatography, to isolate the sweet compounds in the desired grade ratio of glycosides.
7. Drying: The purified grade of extract is dried to remove excess water, resulting in a concentrated powder or liquid form.
8. Packaging: The dried extract is packaged for distribution and sale as a natural, zero-calorie sweetener.
