What’s Rebaudioside M?

Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni is a sweet and nutrient-rich plant belonging to the Asteraceae family. Stevia leaves contain steviol glycosides including stevioside, rebaudioside (A to F), steviolbioside, and isosteviol, which are responsible for the plant's sweet taste, and have commercial value all over the world as a sugar substitute in foods, beverages and medicines.

Steviol glycosides are the sweet components of the stevia plants leaves. They consist of the substance steviol linked by so-called glycoside bonds to several glucose moieties. For example, stevioside has links to three glucose moieties and reb A to four.

Reb M has a total of six glucose moieties. The high number of glucose moieties is part of the explanation of the good taste of reb M. Studies indicate that more glucose units produce more sweetness and less bitterness.

Health Benefits of Reb M

Among the 30 steviol glycosides in Stevia rebaudiana, Reb A is present in the highest levels, while Reb M is found only in very low concentrations (about 0.1%) in the plant's dried leaves Reb M and has significantly more sweetness and less bitterness at high usage levels than the traditional Reb A.

Reb M, by contrast to existing stevia sweeteners, offers a sweet taste close to that of sugar and is free of the aftertaste of Reb-A, which has been used by the food and beverage industry for many years. The Reb M molecule is easy to work with and is 200-300 times sweeter than sugar. Formulators can reduce the sugar content of their products without sacrificing taste.

Reb M has a sweetness similar to sugar. The taste is described as pure, sweet and pleasant. It has a unique taste profile but without the bitterness and licorice taste of its predecessors.
