Sunwin Stevia International, Inc. announced that it has received a major purchase order of 40 metric tons enzyme-treated stevia products valued over USD 3.2 million for the calendar year of 2015 by Wild Flavors, Inc. Enzyme-treated stevia is the most advanced stevioside product in the world and is used in the food and beverage industries. Stevia is a natural sweetener; however, it has a bitter, licorice-like aftertaste. Enzyme treated stevia is obtained by addition of glucose to stevia extracts using a-glucosyltransferase.

In addition, a special treat stevia seed is required to grow special stevia leaf for such advanced product. This new method can effectively decrease or eliminate the bitter aftertaste of natural stevia. Sunwin Stevia is the only company in the world that offers such advanced products on a commercial basis.
