Claims39
A novel cultivar of Stevia rebaudiana, wherein the % ratio of SvGn family steviol glycosides content to TSG content is in the range from about 97.15% to about 100%.
A novel cultivar of Stevia rebaudiana, wherein the % ratio of SvR1Gn family steviol glycosides content to TSG content is in the range from about 0% to about 1.63%.
A novel cultivar of Stevia rebaudiana, wherein the % ratio of SvX1Gn family steviol glycosides content to TSG content is in the range from about 0% to about 1.22%.
A novel cultivar of Stevia rebaudiana, wherein the % ratio of SvR1Gn family steviol glycosides content to SvGn family steviol glycosides content is in the range from about 0% to about 1.68%.
A novel cultivar of Stevia rebaudiana, wherein the % ratio of SvX1Gn family steviol glycosides content to SvGn family steviol glycosides content is in the range from about 0% to about 0.19%.
A novel cultivar of Stevia rebaudiana, wherein the % ratio of SvR1Gn and SvX1Gn families' steviol glycosides content to TSG content is in the range from about 0% to about 2.85%.
A novel cultivar of Stevia rebaudiana, wherein the % ratio of SvR1Gn and SvX1Gn families' steviol glycosides content to SvGn family steviol glycosides content is in the range from about 0% to about 2.94%.
A process for preparing steviol glycosides composition comprising the steps of:
- a) providing Stevia rebaudiana plant biomass comprising at least one steviol glycoside,
- b) providing solvent;
- c) contacting the Stevia rebaudiana plant biomass with solvent to extract at least one steviol glycoside from the plant biomass;
- d) separating the Stevia rebaudiana plant biomass to obtain steviol glycosides composition comprising at least one steviol glycoside.
