Stevia rebaudiana is a remarkable South American plant that has
become widely used in certain parts of the world as a natural
sweetening agent and dietary supplement. Purified extracts of S.
rebaudiana have been used as sweeteners and flavor enhancers in the
food industry in Japan for over a quarter of a century, and have
been found to be up to 300 times sweeter than sucrose. This
comprehensive volume provides reviews on the botany, ethnobotany,
and chemical constituents of the genus Stevia and examines the
chemical synthesis of such compounds as steviol and stevioside. The
perceived safety of these compounds has become somewhat
controversial in recent years, and a thorough consideration of the
pharmacology and biological activity is provided. The final two
chapters offer some insight into the various applications of S.
rebaudiana extracts and stevioside in Japan and Korea, the two
countries with the most extensive use of these food additives at
present. Containing numerous up to date references, the book will
appeal to a wide segment of the scientific community at all levels,
especially those in the fields of natural products, pharmacy,
pharmacognosy, plant science, agriculture and the food and
beverages industry.
