“…They are considered heterogeneous products composed by a complex mixture of steviol glycosides (SG) (Gasmalla et al, 2014). These SG, especially rebaudioside A, and stevioside, are responsible for the sweetening capacity of the Stevia rebaudiana , which is 100–300 times sweeter than sucrose (Khilar et al, 2022; Lemus‐Mondaca et al, 2012). Commercial stevia products have been used as natural high‐intensity sucrose substitutes in diets that complement the treatment of obesity, diabetes, and dyslipidemia and also, for dental caries prevention (Yadav & Guleria, 2012).…”

This work was focused on the study of the adsorption phenomena in reduced‐sugar confectionery coatings elaborated with a high‐intensity sweetener (stevia) as a sucrose substitute. Formulations with different sucrose/stevia contents were elaborated and dried by casting method (60°C for 24 h). Films with dispersed/continuous phase ratios () ranging from 5 (60% sugar) to 2 (0% sugar) were obtained and stored at different temperatures () (5, 25, and 40°C) and water activities (0.206–0.963). Equilibrium moisture contents () were determined by a gravimetric method (drying at 70°C for 6 h and 0.01 atm). The experimental data and phenomena (net isosteric heat and entropy of adsorption) were successfully described through the theoretically‐based generalized D'Arcy and Watt model. An antithetical temperature effect on was observed between 25 and 40°C. Two crossover points were found and affected by and . Novel and industrially‐useful information on reduced‐sugar confectionery coatings was obtained.Practical ApplicationThe sorption of water vapor by foods has received much attention because it is important for evaluating quality changes during storage and for modeling industrial processes. The development of new reduced‐sugar and free‐sugar products is increasing, due to consumers awareness of their well‐being and health. This work presents original research on the mathematical description of the sorption process of reduced‐sugar confectionery coatings elaborated with stevia (a high‐intensity natural sweetener). Four levels of sucrose replacement by stevia and a wide range of storage temperatures (5–40°C) and water activities (0.206–0.963) were analyzed. The information obtained in this work could be useful for researchers and technicians to estimate and control the moisture adsorption performance of sweetened coatings elaborated with traditional (sucrose) and alternative (natural sweeteners) ingredients in practical situations, such as storage and processing.

“…As a noncaloric, natural sweetener, SG is used as a sugar substitute in the food industry (approved for consumption by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2008 and by the European Union in 2011) 3 . Other bioactive compounds isolated from stevia include polyphenols, flavonoids, tannins and alkaloids 4 . Stevia leaves are also a good source of vitamins, essential amino acids, minerals and fatty acids 5 .…”
Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni possesses various medicinal and food industrial applications. This study is the first to explore the effect of the cytokinins meta-Topolin (mT; 6-(3-hydroxybenzylamino) purine), zeatin, kinetin, and BAP (6-benzylaminopurine) at concentrations of 0 (control), 5, 10, and 15 µM on shoot multiplication, as well as stevioside, rebaudioside A, phenolic acid, and flavonoid content in bioreactor cultures. The highest number of shoots (23.4 per explant) was obtained in the medium containing 5 μM of mT. However, 15 μM of mT was superior for fresh biomass production and dry biomass accumulation. Reversed-phase (RP)-HPLC analysis showed a beneficial effect of 5 μM mT on stevioside (11.43 mg/g dry weight [DW]) and rebaudioside A (10.74 mg/g DW) biosynthesis. In all conditions, the ratio of rebaudioside A/stevioside ranged from 0.75 to 1.12. The phenolic acids chlorogenic, neochlorogenic, isochlorogenic A, and rosmarinic were confirmed in the stevia extracts, as were the flavonoids isoquercetin, and quercitrin. The highest accumulations of chlorogenic and neochlorogenic acids and flavonoids were observed in shoot tissues derived from 5 µM mT, whereas 5 µM of BAP stimulated biosynthesis of chlorogenic, isochlorogenic A, and rosmarinic acids. This is the first report on the use of mT-cytokinin showing high potential in stevia cultures.
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.
