WHAT IS PURE LITE™ ?
|
|
 |
Pure Lite™ is a
natural no aftertaste zero
calorie high-intensity sweetener made up of
99% Rebaudioside A (RebA) Stevia. Pure Lite™ is extracted from stevia leaves and converted
to a purity of more than 99% RebA using a
non-toxic environmentally friendly proprietary
process.
|
|
 |
Natural
: Pure Lite™ is a 100%
natural extract.
Idyll Life uses neither
toxic solvent nor enzymatic or chemical
modification of stevia glycosides to extract
Pure Lite™. Manufacturers can be at ease
to use this zero calorie natural sweetener
for their low-carb, diabetic or sugar-free
products without worrying about possible
toxic or long term side effects associated
with artificial sweeteners.
|
|
|
|
Taste
: Consumers are concerned very
much about taste so are we. Pure Lite™ is more
than 99% RebA compared with other stevia extracts
that contain only
40-80% RebA. This gives a
natural sweetener with NO bitter aftertaste
common to other stevia extracts since the aftertaste
is removed by eliminating Steviosides and other
impurities.
|
| |
|
|
Heat
Stable : Unlike most other
high-intensity sweeteners, Pure Lite™ is heat
stable up to 200
degree celsius
which is more than appropriate
for baking and with processes like pasteurization
and sterilization that are at the heart of
the Food & Beverage industry.

| How Did Idyll
Life Eliminate the Aftertaste? |
|
In Asia, one
of the most popular sweeteners is stevia. It
has been widely used in Japan and other parts
of Asia for over 40 years. However, although
stevia extracts are being used in several different
types of applications, they still can not be
used in many applications or markets that are
very sensitive to taste.
Idyll Life with Pure Lite™ has overcome this taste problem. Here is how we did it.
|
|
| Stevia
Leaf |
|
In general,
each stevia leaf contains 10% of glycosides
or sweet components.
Of these 10% sweet
components in the leaf, there are many
types namely Stevioside,
Rebaudioside-A&C, Dulcoside-A&C.
Stevioside is the major sweet component
representing 60-70% of the total glycosides
while Rebaudioside A represents 30-40%.
|
|
|
| Stevioside
Aftertaste |
|
|
Typical stevia
sweetener available on the market has a bitter
aftertaste often described as a menthol-like
taste. Why is that? The aftertaste comes from
one of the sweet components found in the leaf
Stevioside. Stevioside has the property of
being sweet but also of having this bitter,
menthol-like aftertaste.
On the other hand,
Rebaudioside A (RebA) which is the other major
sweetening component in the stevia leaf, is
the sweetest component and has no aftertaste.
Hence, the higher the percentage of RebA in
a final product, the higher the quality of the
stevia sweetener.

|
| Idyll
Life Proprietary Process |
|
|
There are currently
three types of Stevia sweetener available on
the market:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Idyll Life has
taken the technology a step further by purifying
high content stevia leaves from 80% RebA into
Pure Lite™ - a more than 99% RebA sweetener.
Our proprietary process uses a non-toxic clean
technology to remove the Steviosides and other
impurities out of the stevia leaf yielding Pure
Lite™ which is all natural has no calories and
has absolutely no aftertaste.
