Abstract
Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni M. can be cultivated in Korea as a new sweetness resource. It seems possible that stevioside the sweet substance extracted from the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni M. can be used instead of saccharin. In order to obtain the fundamental data due to natural sweetening materials used of as additives to food stuffs such as coffee and tea etc. It was investigated to reduce the calories from coffee and tea without reducing the conventional sweetness, drinks sweetened with mixtures of stevioside and sucrose were prepared. The results obtained are as follows: 1) Mixture of 50% stevioside 40 mg (0.04%) (A) and 1.5% sucrose, 95% stevioside 20 mg (0.02%) (B) and 2.0% sucrose, and 50% stevioside 60 mg (0.06%) (A) and 95% stevioside 40 mg (0. 04%) (B), the sweetness of which in coffee corresponded to that of 7% sucrose in the drink, was prepared. 2) Mixture of 50% stevioside 60 mg (0.06%) (A) and 1.5, 2.0, 2.5% sucrose, 95% stevioside 40 mg (0.04%) (B) and 1.5, 2.0% sucrose, and 50% 80 mg (0.08%), 95% 60 mg (0.06%) (A,B), respectively the sweetness of which in tea corresponded to that of 7% sucrose in the above drink, was prepared. 3) Sucrose saving of 21.42-28.57% compared to equally sweet sucrose-sweetened coffee and tea could be achieved without deterioration of other taste qualities.
