Herbridge,26 April,2010-2nd Stevia Forum Asia sponsored by CMT (based in Singapore) came to an end on Wednesday  last week in Shanghai.As industrial media,herbridge.com is pleased to participate this forum.

Stevia Outlook

    Particpants have a common idea that stevia has no extremely optimistic future and sizable market opportunity only as a natural sweetner with zero calories.If it is demonstrated that stevioside has antioxidant properties,the stevia market will be further expanded.

    The presentation from Xi Yinci,College of Food Science and Technology,Shanghai Ocean University brings hope and inspiration in the stevia market.Professor Xi said many studies demonstrated that stevioside has significant antioxidant benefits.Which was specially reported by NHK Japan.It is discovered that stevioside can kill E.coli and Foodborne Bacterial Pathogens with no effect on lactic acid bacillus.Meanwhile,stevioside has health benefit for diabetes patients and can cause the inhibition of HIV.In addition,bio-ferment fertilizer of stevioside remainder has seen great success.The fermented stevioside remainder can remarkably enhance sweetness,promote growth as well as increase production in farming.Agricultural products used by this fertilizer are most popular in Tokyo.In addition,stevioside has great benefits for livestock such as gaining weight,preserving flavor and color of meat.

    If the antioxidant benefit and selectively bactericidal activity are further proved,stevia will get more international concerns.

Environmentally friendly production

    Manufacturers in China are striving to protect and be fair with our environment,looking for projects with low energy consumption and low carbon.Take for Guilin Layn Natural Ingredients Corp for example.After taking full consideration of wastewater and industrial residue as well as environmental effect,they designed to treat wastewater and make good use of stevioside waste residue including converted to heat energy,fermented to feed and solid fertilizer.The leading enterprises in China do seek environmentally friendly production with high yield,high quallity and high efficency as well as low cost,low carbon and low pollution,namely "three high and three low".Additionally,the cost reduction of stevia production still play an important role in market expansion and competing with synthetic sweetners.

Flavor solutions

    Currently,tackling the taste profile and after-taste tops the list of concerns of F&B companies who are seeking to reformulate with stevia.The leading enterprises in China not only have the ability to supply RA95,RA97 and RA98 in large volumn,but take actions to expand the application.

    Layn Natural plans to formulate stevia with luohanguo extract to deal with the potential off-notes with stevia and thus lauch Lovia to develop international market.According to herbridge.com,luhanguo extract from Layn Natural has got organic certification and received Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) status.

    Stevia Supply Chain Development, Quality Control and Standards, and Extraction & Purification Technologies are also discussed on 2nd Stevia World Asia.

    Presentives from Sunwin(US),Guilin Layn Natural Ingredients Corp,Ogawa & Co,Dohler Food & Beverage,JBB Stevia Laboratory,Jining Aoxing Stevia Products and Morita Kagaku Kogyo also attend the forum.
