Frequently asked questions about 2280
How much sweeter is stevia Reb-A than 60% sugar?
Stevia extract with 60% rebaudioside A is about 200-350 times sweeter than sucrose. Therefore, in order to achieve the desired sweetness in drinks, sweets or baked goods, it is necessary to use very small amounts. The exact ratio depends on the product and the desired flavor profile.
Is stevia extract E960 calorie-free?
Yes, stevioglycosides are not used by the body for energy, which is why they are considered calorie-free. This makes Reb-A 60% the ideal choice for reduced-sugar, diabetes-friendly, low-calorie foods and beverages, while maintaining full sweetness.
Can stevia be combined with other sweeteners?
Yes, Reb-A 60% goes very well with polyols (erythritol, xylitol, maltitol) and other intensive sweeteners such as sucralose. The combination helps to balance the sweetness profile, mask the aftertaste and achieve a sugar-like structure in the final product.
