Sweet tea extract

Sweet tea is a new variety of the Rubus genus within the Rosaceae family, and it was only discovered as a medicinal plant in China in the early 1980s. Sweet tea leaves have long been used in folk medicine and are often used as a substitute for sucrose in food processing, standing alongside other well-known sweeteners such as luo han guo. The active ingredient in sweet tea extract, sweet tea glycoside, is approximately 200 times sweeter than sucrose, yet its caloric value is only 5% that of sucrose, making it a natural sweetener with high sweetness, low calories, and zero fat. Due to its pleasant taste, natural origin, and low-calorie properties, it demonstrates significant economic value across various industries, including food, beverages, frozen foods, condiments, and pharmaceuticals.
