The sweet diterpene glycosides extracted from the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana (Bert) Bertoni are of increasing interest in recent years as possible sugar substitutes. The approach for this study was towards farmers and household which more applicable for them to use portable refractometer rather than analysis in laboratory using HPLC. Other than that, this finding could be a help in reducing cost due to high costing of HPLC. Our objectives were to investigate the application of refractometer in analysis of steviol glycosides and its correlation with HPLC. The calibration curve for standard stevioside and Reb A shows the value of R 2 , 0.9903 and 0.9901 respectively. The results obtained from the MINITAB software version 16, shows the Pearson coefficient, r was 0.986 and the P-value shows the significant value which was 0.000 (p<0.05). Besides, the scatter plot shows the linear correlation for both analyser.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
