Used as a high-purity natural sweetener in food and beverage products, especially in sugar-free or low-calorie formulations. Offers improved taste profile with less bitterness compared to earlier steviol glycosides, making it suitable for use in soft drinks, dairy products, and tabletop sweeteners. Its high sweetness intensity allows for low usage levels, contributing to reduced caloric content without compromising on sweetness. Also explored in pharmaceutical applications where sugar-free excipients are required.
