Pure Circle Alpha (Alpha)
SURYLGHDPRUHFRPSOH[DQGURXQGWDVWHSURILOHLQPDQ\DSSOLFDWLRQV
Alpha is ideal for companies seeking deeper calorie reductions in their products. It consists of a proprietary
combination of steviol glycosides developed as a solution for products seeking 50-100% calorie reductions.
Following extensive sensory and application development work marked improvements were identified versus
existing stevia sweeteners on the market. In particular, its composition allows for a more rounded sweetness
and less bitterness at higher sugar replacement levels.
Alpha has a relative sweetness of 250, depending on dosage and application.

Approval and use of stevia
Stevia is approved and used in food and beverage round the world in
areas and countries like Asia, United States, South America, Africa,
Australia and Switzerland. Since the 11th of November 2011,
stevia (steviol glycosides) is approved in all EU countries.
EU regulatory
•
The use of stevia, eg. steviol glycosides, is within EU regulated by ‘Commission
regulation(EU)No 1131/2011, of 11 November 2011, amending Annex II to Regulation
(EC) No 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to
steviol glycosides’.
•
Stevia is approved as a food additive with the number E960 and must be declared with
this number and/or the name ‘steviol glycosides’ in the product’s ingredient list.
•
In most applications a combined use of sugar and stevia requires energy reduction of
the product meaning that the total calories of the product must be reduced at least 30%.
•
Given an ADI value of 4 mg steviol equivalents / kg body weight /day there are some
limitations to the use in food & beverage categories.
•
As an example, in soft drinks and other flavoured drinks 80 mg steviol equivalents / liter
or approximately 240 mg steviol glycosides / liter can be used, resembling a sweetness
level of 5-7 % sugar.
Sugar and stevia support each other
Stevia is a high intensity sweetener and as such used in small quantities compared to sugar.
Therefore besides sweetness, stevia do not offer the functional properties delivered by sugar
like bulking, mouthfeel, water activity control, etc. But by combining stevia and sugar you obtain
a sweetening solution taken directly from nature that provides good sweet taste and reduced
calories, and maintains a significant part of sugar´s functional properties in the final application.
