Complex processing of Stevia rebaudiana bertroni

Abstract

The production of stevia is one of the cost-effi cient industries of the world, regardless of processing only dry leaves into substances of different degree of sweetness. Aim. The aim is to create the technology of complex processing of the aboveground part of stevia. Methods. Modern methods and technologies of determining quality indices for the concentrate were used. Results. The experimental and theoretical studies were used to suggest the technological scheme of complex processing of the aboveground part of dried stevia. Conclusions. The suggested technology allows ensuring complete processing of the aboveground part of stevia to obtain sub- stances of different degrees of sweetness as well as additional amounts of fl orazole, a complex of aminoacids, feed additive and pellets.
