ABSTRACT
Stevia extract was prepared by boiling stevia leaf powder in water. Sweetness equivalence was tested by comparing sweetness of extract with sugar. The Mango RTS juice was prepared using stevia extract and sugar for sensory evaluation. Results revealed that 0.045g of stevia white powder and 4 ml of stevia extract in 100ml of water were equal in sweetness with 10 gm of sugar in 100ml of water. Mango RTS juice prepared by using stevia white powder and stevia extract received less score than with sugar. Even though it was acceptable as it is low in calories.
Key words :
Organoleptic evaluation, Stevia leaf extract, Stevia white powder.
