The main sweet ingredient of Stevia is Steviol Glycosides is Stevioside, Rebaudioside A (Reb-A) and Rebaudioside C (Reb-C). These ingredients make Stevia extremely sweet, about 200 to 400 times that of sucrose, but the calories are extremely low and almost negligible.

For animal feed, the most ordinary sweetener is artificial sweeteners, like Aspartame. Compared to Aspartame, stevia has much advantage.

 

â‘´ Firstly they are different in source, stevia is natural and aspartame is artificial.

Stevia is manufactured from the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant. The steviol glycosides are naturally extracted from stevia leaf by clean water. So stevia is called natural sweetener.

Aspartame is an artificial sweetener manufactuered from phenylalanine and aspartic acid.

 

⑵ Difference in tastes

Stevia is between 200-400 times sweeter than cane sugar. Because stevia is natural, it has a special after tastes from stevia leaf, but can be overcome when doing formulations.

Aspartame is 200 times sweeter than ordinary sugar. Additionally, aspartame-based sweeteners contain filler agents that reduce the intensity of their sweetness. Aspartame doesn't have intense aftertastes and can be used to enhance flavors.

As an conclusion, stevia is natural and more healthy, it has little aftertastes. Aspartame is artificial but tastes better.
