Classification :
Carbohydrates may be classified into two broad groups.
1. Sugars and
2. Non-sugars or polysaccharides.

Sugars : Sugars are sweet crystalline substances and soluble in water.

Monosaccharides : The monosaccharides are polyhydroxy aldehydes or polyhydroxy ketones which cannot be hydrolysed into simpler sugars.
They may again be classified according to the nature of carbonyl group.
(a) Aldoses, which contain an aldehyde group
(b) Ketoses, which contain a keto group
The aldoses and ketoses are further divided into sub-groups on the basis of the number of carbon atoms in their molecules, as trioses, tetroses, pentoses, hexoses etc.
Thus monosaccharides are generally referred to as aldotrioses, aldotetroses, aldopentoses, aldohexoses, ketohexoses etc.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention states, “During the past 20 years, there has been a dramatic increase in obesity in the United States and rates remain high. More than one-third of U.S. adults and approximately 17% of children and adolescents aged 2—19 years are obese. CDC estimates 97 million Americans are dangerously overweight. The agency reports this is the second leading cause of preventable death following smoking.

As the health and wellness trend drives the U.S. food industry, savvy food scientists are looking to sweeten their products naturally with minimal caloric contribution. This is where Steviva Ingredients can help. Steviva offers a solution with Steviva Blend stevia sweetener.

Steviva Blend, is a low calorie blend of natural sweeteners for use as a drop in replacement for sucrose or table sugar. The basis of this blend is a proprietary mixture of FDA approved steviol glycosides that are optimized to reduce bitterness. Flavor purity is enhanced by our unique method of water extraction of these glycosides from the leaves of the South American plant, Stevia rebaudiana. To this residual free extract, Erysweet erythritol, a natural sugar alcohol produced by fermentation, is added to provide bulk to the blend, but more importantly, it rounds the sweetness profile with a slight cooling property. The temporal effect is similar to sucrose. Sweetness is clean and non-lingering. Texture is equivalent to standard particle sugar. Its color is bright white and naturally non-caking.
