In addition to demonstrating stevia’s nearly instant popularity in locales far removed from its native habitat, Japan’s experience proved several other significant facts about this phenomenal plant: its adaptability and its safety. Adaptability was proven through the discovery that the plant could be grown throughout most of this temperate island nation, albeit under special hothouse conditions. Studies were even initiated to evaluate the substitution of stevia for rice under cultivation in some areas. Stevia’s safety was proven through extensive scientific testing.

What gives stevia its unique flavor profile is that it has 2 glycosides naturally occurring in it (stevioside and rebaudioside). The steviosides are sweet and the rebaudiosides are bitter. This is why the consumer sees a difference in the taste from one product to another. The extraction process can be quite costly especially if a company is looking to extract a unique combination of these glycosides in order to get a specific flavor to come through. We at Z Natural Foods sell what would be considered a “full spectrum” extract of the stevia plant. This assures our customer gets the best and most well-balanced end product.

The quality of the starting material is an essential prerequisite,since it may affect all the subsequent phases. Hence GMPs are applied already from these early steps to guarantee the characteristics of the final product. At this stage,there are a number of measures we employ:

√ supplier inspection and qualification

√ area selection

√ control of:

– harvesting period and harvesting method

– drying conditions

– storage

√ botanical identification of the fruit

√ quarantine of the biomass under monitored conditions

√ microbiological analysis

√ chemical analysis

√ control of contaminants, including:

– pesticides

– aflatoxins

– heavy metals

Only after all of these controls will the raw material be released for further processing or rejected due to non conformance with our strict requirements.
