Identification and Quantification of Major Steviol Glycosides in Stevia ARTICLE pubs.acs.org/JAFC Identification and Quantification of Major Steviol Glycosides in Stevia rebaudiana Purified Extracts by 1H NMR Spectroscopy Valerio Pieri,† Andrea Belancic,‡ Susana Morales,‡ and Hermann Stuppner*,† † Institute of Pharmacy/Pharmacognosy, Center for Molecular Biosciences Innsbruck (CMBI), University of Innsbruck, Innrain 52c, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria ‡ Prodalysa Ltda, Lote 13, Parque Industrial Gulmue, Camino Internacional, Concon, Chile bS Supporting Information ABSTRACT: The use of 1H NMR spectroscopy for the characterization of Stevia rebaudiana extracts is presented. The developed method allows qualitative and quantitative determination of the major steviol glycosides in purified extracts and fractions obtained from various stages of the purification process. Moreover, it proved to be a powerful tool to differentiate between glycosides which are naturally occurring in the stevia plant and artifacts formed in the course of the manufacturing process. Identification of steviol glycosides was achieved by the use of 2D NMR techniques, whereas quantification is based on qHNMR using anthracene as internal À standard. The solvent mixture pyridine-d5 DMSO-d6 (6:1) enabled satisfactory separation of the signals to be integrated. Validation of the method was performed in terms of specificity, precision, accuracy, linearity, robustness, and stability. Quantitative results were compared to those obtained with the JECFA HPLCÀUV method and were found to be in reasonable agreement. NMR analysis does not rely on the use of reference compounds and enables significantly faster analysis compared to HPLCÀUV. Thus, NMR represents a feasible alternative to HPLC-based methods for the quality control of Stevia rebaudiana extracts.

An ADI of 0 - 4 mg/kg bw (expressed as steviol) was established at the 69th JECFA (2008). SYNONYMS INS No. 960 DEFINITION Steviol glycosides consist of a mixture of compounds containing a steviol backbone conjugated to any number or combination of the principal sugar moieties (glucose, rhamnose, xylose, fructose, arabinose, galactose and deoxyglucose) in any of the orientations occurring in the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni. The product is obtained from the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni. The leaves are extracted with hot water and the aqueous extract is passed through an adsorption resin to trap and concentrate the component steviol glycosides. The resin is washed with a solvent alcohol to release the glycosides and the product is recrystallized from methanol or aqueous ethanol. Ion exchange resins may be used in the purification process. The final product may be spray-dried.

JECFA 2017 is the most updated international standardized method but it runs for 80 min per sample with suboptimal separations on several critical pairs for its high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet (HPLC-UV) determination. We developed and validated a rapid and economic HPLC-UV method using the superficially porous particle column to determine 13 steviol glycosides (stevioside, dulcoside A, rubusoside, steviobioside, and rebaudioside A−F, I, M, and N). Baseline separation with a minimum resolution of 1.5 for 13 steviol glycosides was achieved within only 14 min of separation time. The hydrocarbon stationary phase with additional steric interactions from the isobutyl side chains on the C18 ligand was shown to be an important contributor to chromatographic selectivity of several critical pairs of steviol glycosides. The method was proven to perform suitably on columns from three different manufacturers and two HPLC instruments. The method was further used to perform a single-lab validation on eight food and supplement products with multiple matrices. The results ranged from 0.05% w/w rebaudioside A for a hard-candy finished product to 100.8% w/w purity for a rebaudioside M raw ingredient.

These SG’s are the principal sweetening agents which are 200-300 times more sweeter than sucrose. A number of SG’s are present in the leaves of Stevia namely, stevioside, dulcoside A, rebaudioside A, rebaudioside B, rebaudioside C (previously known as dulcoside B), rebaudioside D, rebaudioside E and steviolbioside, 100–125. At the 63rd meeting a temporary ADI of 0-2 mg/kg bodyweight and day, expressed as steviol, was established based on a No-Observed- Effect-Level (NOEL). Steviol glycoside extracts have broad applications as sweetener in the manufacture of fruit and milk drinks, desserts, yoghurt, delicacies, confectioneries, fruit products, processed seafood products, pickles, table-top sweeteners and dietary supplements. Other aspects considered are physicochemical and biologic properties for food processing, stability and therapeutic value of SG’s. nutritional information, Stevia market and household uses.

Tissue Culture Unit, Plant Genetic Resources Department, Desert Research Center, Matarya, Cairo, Egypt 3. Nanotechnology and Advanced Materials Centeral Lab, Agricultural Research Center, Giza, Egypt mhhendawey@yahoo.com Abstract: The use of modern techniques in the field of nanotechnology is one of the important recent trends for improving active constituents production in the field of tissue culture, for using on a commercial scale. Therefore, in this study we examined the effect of three types of nanoparticles (FeNPS, CuNPS and SiNPS) at different concentrations on the production of active constituents in Stevia rebaudiana L. callus. In light of the obtained results, treatment with nanoparticles had a positive effect on dry weights at all concentrations. GSH level changes in stevia callus represent a good indicator of response to treatment with nanoparticles. A slight decrease occurred in the GSH content when stevia callus treated with FeNPS and CuNPS at most concentrations. While, it was increased after treatment with all concentrations of SiNPS (except 8 ppm). With respect to antioxidant enzymes, it noticed a slight effect on enzymes activity when stevia callus treated with FeNPS and CuNPS. While, there was a clear positive effect when using SiNPS, where a new band for SOD appeared at 0.5 ppm as well as a clear increase in bands intensity at the other concentrations.
