Article Synopsis
- Stevioside, a natural sweetener derived from Stevia leaves, is 300 times sweeter than sugar and can help lower blood sugar levels, benefiting diabetics.
- The study utilized tissue culture technology to produce disease-free stevia plants year-round and successfully identified stevioside content using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC).
- The identified stevioside content in the leaf samples was 9.6%, suggesting a viable method for large-scale commercial production of stevia through in vitro culture globally.
Hydrolyzing the amorphous region while keeping the crystalline region unaltered is the key technology for producing nanocellulose. This study investigated if the dissolution properties of the amorphous region of microcrystalline cellulose can be enhanced in the presence of Fe salt in acidic medium. The process parameters, including temperature, time and the concentration of metal chloride catalyst (FeCl₃), were optimized by using the response surface methodology (RSM).
