It has the characteristics of high sweetness and low calorie. Its sweetness is 200-300 times that of sucrose, and its caloric value is only 1/300 of sucrose.
Steviol sugar can be used as a flavor enhancer for the following products: steviol glycosides and steviol diglycoside A can be used in ice cream and soft drinks; steviol glycosides are used to enhance the sweetness of chlorinated sucrose, aspartame and cyclamate; steviol glycosides and their salts It can be used to ripen fruits and vegetables; stevioside is added to food, beverages or pharmaceuticals as aromatic flavor enhancer; used for salt-free storage of food. Stevia is used together with lactose, maltose syrup, fructose, sorbitol, maltitol and lactulose to make hard candies.

Stevia can also be mixed with sorbitol, glycine, alanine, etc. to produce cake powder. Because stevioside is stable to heat, it is particularly suitable for this application.
