Improving the solubility of stevia in liquid formulations presents an area of innovation for overcoming challenges in beverage applications. New processing technologies and formulation approaches are being explored to enhance the solubility and dispersibility of stevia in water-based products. By reducing the particle size of stevia molecules to the nanometer scale, nanoencapsulation increases their surface area and dispersibility in water, leading to faster dissolution and improved sweetness delivery in beverages. This approach enhances the sensory experience and consumer acceptance of stevia-sweetened drinks. Likewise, micro fluidization is a high-pressure homogenization technique that breaks down stevia particles into smaller sizes to enhance their solubility in liquid matrices.
Moreover, customized stevia blends with other natural sweeteners, sugar alcohols, or bulking agents are being developed to optimize sweetness, flavor, and texture in specific applications. These blends offer formulators greater flexibility and control over the taste and functionality of stevia-based products. Customized blends offer the opportunity to enhance stevia-based products’ flavor complexity and depth by incorporating complementary natural sweeteners and flavoring agents. Ingredients such as vanilla, cinnamon, citrus extracts, or natural flavors can be blended with stevia to create unique flavor profiles that appeal to consumers.
According to the United States Department of Agriculture data, the UAE has the second-largest food service sector within the Arab Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region after Saudi Arabia.
