Steviva Brands, Inc., Portland, OR, one of the world’s leading manufacturers and distributors of stevia-based sweeteners and other bulk-ingredient sweeteners, has introduced a Stevia-based syrup blend designed to replace high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) in beverages.Steviva Blend Syrup is an all-natural liquid sweetener comprised of a proprietary combination of extracts, natural flavors and thickeners lending, a mouth-feel identical to corn syrup and a sweet flavor profile that has no aftertaste. The blend is made with stevia, an herb that is 200 to 300 times sweeter than sucrose, making its caloric contribution to beverages negligible. Its sweetness comes from two primary steviol glycosides within the leaves of the South American plant, Stevia rebaudiana. The levels of these, as well as the 100 or more chemical components also present, determine the flavor profile. While HFCS has 4 calories and 0 fiber per gram, this product yields 30 calories and 6 grams fiber per 100 grams.
