GLG Life Tech Corporation and International Flavors and Fragrances (IFF) have collaborated to develop an extraction capability for Rebaudioside C stevia for use as a flavor modulator. Rebaudioside C is one of the 11 primary glycosides in the stevia leaf. Research demonstrates the glycoside’s ability as a sweetness modulator in food systems, according to the companies. Found in the by-product of Rebaudioside A production, Rebaudioside C is produced through advanced glycoside isolation and specialized extraction processing. While not a sweetener itself, Rebaudioside C has been trialed with nutritive sweeteners and shown to enable a 20-25% reduction in calories. For further information: www.glglifetech.com; www.iff.com
