“…Stevia (Rebaudiana bertoni) is an ancient perennial shrub mostly found in South America, especially in Paraguay and Brazil (Chang et al, 2005). It contains a glycoside that are low calorie sweeteners, which is about 300 times sweeter than sucrose (Ilca et al, 2017;Lemusmondaca et al, 2012;Witono and Chandra, 2020). The leaf extract of Stevia possesses many phytochemicals, which include austroinullin, β-carotene, dulcoside, nilacin, rebaudioxides, riboflavin, steviol, stevioside, and tiamin, with known antimicrobial properties against many pathogens (Theophilus et al, 2015).…”
