Introduction 

 
Stevia is a sweetener and sugar substitute extracted from the leaves of the plant species Stevia rebaudiana.
The active compounds of stevia are steviol glycosides (mainly stevioside and rebaudioside),
which have up to 150 times and more the sweetness of sugar,are heat-stable, pH-stable, and not fermentable.
These steviosides have a negligible effect on blood glucose, which makes stevia attractive to people
on carbohydrate-controlled diets. Stevia's taste has a slower onset and longer duration than that of sugar,
and some of its extracts may have a bitter or licorice-like aftertaste at high concentrations.
Stevia Extract powders are wildly used in

1.As a non-calorie natural sweetener,control high blood pressure and blood sugar levels; 
 2.Applied in beverage, liquor, meat, daily products, helps lose weight and reduce cravings for fatty foods;
 3.Usually made into tablets, capsule and granule to   warm the kidney, strengthen the spleen , enhance human immunity.
 4.Add some stevia to your mouthwash or toothpaste results in improved oral health;
