Used as a natural, zero-calorie sweetener in food and beverage products, particularly in low-sugar and sugar-free formulations. It provides a clean, sweet taste with less bitterness and aftertaste compared to some other stevia derivatives, making it suitable for use in soft drinks, dairy products, confectionery, and tabletop sweeteners. Its high sweetness intensity allows for low usage levels, contributing to reduced calorie content without compromising sweetness. Also explored in pharmaceuticals for sweetening syrups and chewable tablets where sugar reduction is desired.
