What is rebaudioside A?

Rebaudioside A  (Reb-A) is one of the steviol glycosides found in the stevia plant. The steviol glycosides are responsible for the sweet taste of the leaves of the stevia plant (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni). These compounds range in sweetness from 40 to 300 times sweeter than sucrose.They are heat-stable, pH-stable, and do not ferment.They also do not induce a glycemic response when ingested, making them attractive as natural sweeteners to diabetics and others on carbohydrate-controlled diets.

In terms of weight fraction, the four major steviol glycosides found in the stevia plant tissue are:

5–10% stevioside (250–300X of sugar)2–4% rebaudioside A — most sweet (350–450X of sugar) and least bitter1–2% rebaudioside C½–1% dulcoside A
