Stevia Glycoside Innovation: Multi-Industry Solutions

The original patent described a process for preparing highly soluble individual or combined sweet glycosides from Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni plant extract. While this technology has been successful in the food and beverage industry, it has limitations in terms of its applicability to other fields. This invention addresses the need for Stevia-based solutions in new industries, where the unique properties of highly soluble Stevia sweeteners can provide significant benefits.

The new claims introduce novel and non-obvious applications of highly soluble Stevia sweeteners, extending the original patent's scope to new industries and use cases. The inventive step lies in recognizing the potential of Stevia-based solutions in these fields and developing innovative implementations that address specific challenges and needs.

Alternative embodiments of this invention could include the use of different Stevia extract compositions, varying ratios of Stevia to other ingredients, or adaptations for specific industry requirements. Additionally, the invention could be modified to incorporate other natural sweeteners or functional ingredients, further expanding its potential applications.

This invention has significant commercial potential in various industries, including sports nutrition, sustainable agriculture, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and biodegradable packaging. The target market includes companies seeking innovative, Stevia-based solutions to improve their products and reduce their environmental footprint.
