Claims21
A method for producing a high solubility Stevia sweetener solution comprising the steps of:
- A) providing a first Stevia sweetener comprising Rebaudioside D;
- B) providing a second Stevia sweetener that is different from the first Stevia sweetener comprising rebaudioside B;
- C) providing water;
- D) mixing the water and first and second Stevia sweeteners to make a mixture;
- E) increasing the temperature of the mixture by a gradient method to make a solution;
- F) holding the solution at an elevated temperature for about 50-70 minutes;
- G) decreasing the temperature of the solution by a gradient method to obtain a high solubility Stevia sweetener solution;
- wherein the high solubility sweetener solution does not show any crystallization up to 30 minutes incubation at 80° C. at a concentration of 20% (w/w) of the high solubility Stevia sweeteners solution.
