• the rebaudioside A composition has a purity from about 50% to about 99.5% rebaudioside A by weight on a dry basis;
• the rebaudioside A comprises an anhydrous rebaudioside A polymorph, a rebaudioside A solvate polymorph, an amorphous rebaudioside A, or a combination thereof;
• the rebaudioside A composition and polyol are present in the functional sweetener composition at a weight ratio in the range of about 1:50 to about 1:800;
• and
• the at least one functional ingredient is selected from the group consisting of a rubisco protein, a rubiscolin, a rubiscolin derivative, wherein the rubiscolin derivative comprises an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of Tyr-Pro-Ile-Asp-Leu-Phe (SEQ ID NO:
