steviol glycosides, particularly
steviolmonoside,
steviolmonoside A,
steviolbioside,
steviolbioside D, rubusoside,
steviolbioside A, steviolbioside B, rebaudioside B,
stevioside, rebaudioside G,
stevioside A,
stevioside B, stevioside C,
rebaudioside A,
rebaudioside E,
rebaudioside E2,
rebaudioside E4, rebaudioside E6, rebaudioside E3,
rebaudioside D, rebaudioside I, rebaudioside AM,
rebaudioside D7,
rebaudioside M,
rebaudioside M4, rebaudioside 1a, rebaudioside 1b, rebaudioside 1c, rebaudioside 1d, rebaudioside 1e, rebaudioside 1f, rebaudioside 1g, rebaudioside 1h, rebaudioside 1i, rebaudioside 1j, rebaudioside 1k, rebaudioside 1l, rebaudioside 1m, rebaudioside 1n, rebaudioside 1o, rebaudioside 1p, rebaudioside 1q, rebaudioside 1r, rebaudioside 1s, rebaudioside 1t, rebaudioside 2a, rebaudioside 2b, rebaudioside 2c, rebaudioside 2d, rebaudioside 2e, rebaudioside 2f rebaudioside 2g, rebaudioside 2h, rebaudioside 2i, rebaudioside 2j, rebaudioside 2k, rebaudioside 2l, rebaudioside 2m, rebaudioside 2n, rebaudioside 2o, rebaudioside 2p, rebaudioside 2q, rebaudioside 2r, rebaudioside 2s and / or SvG7 are described. The methods include utilizing
enzyme preparations and recombinant microorganisms for converting various
staring compositions to target
steviol glycosides. The highly purified
steviol glycosides are useful as non-caloric sweetener,
flavor enhancer,
sweetness enhancer, and foaming
suppressor in edible and chewable compositions such as any beverages, confectioneries, bakery products, cookies, and chewing gums.
