Stevioside (CAS NO. 57817-89-7, Chemical formula: C38H60O18) is a glycoside derived from the stevia plant, which can be used as a sweetener.[1] Evidence of benefit is lacking for long-term effects on weight loss and heart disease risks.
Stevioside (CAS NO. 57817-89-7, Chemical formula: C38H60O18) is the main sweetener (along with rebaudioside A) found in the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana. The sweetening power of stevioside was estimated to be about 300 times stronger than cane sugar.
