Monordicae Extract: A Food and Medicine Dual-Use Product — High-Purity Standardised Extract
2026-03-17
I. Product Overview
Monordicae Extract is a natural active product manufactured from monk fruit, a plant with dual food and medicinal properties native to China, through processes including water extraction, concentration, purification and drying. The core active ingredient is Monordicae glycoside, with luo han guo glycoside V being the predominant sweetening component. It is 150–300 times sweeter than sucrose, has virtually zero calories, and does not affect blood glucose metabolism. It has obtained certifications from major global markets, including FDA GRAS, EU Novel Food, and China’s New Food Ingredients, and is recognised internationally as a safe, natural sugar substitute.
The product typically appears as a pale yellow to white powder with a faint natural fruity aroma. It is readily soluble in water and dilute ethanol, remains stable within a pH range of 3–11, and is heat-resistant (it does not decompose when heated to 100°C). Suitable for most food and beverage processing scenarios, it is the core choice for sugar-free and low-sugar formulations.
II. Key Advantages
1. Natural and healthy, suitable for all demographics
Zero calories, zero glycaemic impact: Monk fruit glycosides are not absorbed by the human body and do not affect blood glucose or insulin levels. They are suitable for diabetics, those managing their sugar intake, and those seeking to reduce body fat, and can fully replace sucrose.
Safety and compliance: Complies with the GB 1886.77-2016 National Food Safety Standard; indicators such as heavy metals and pesticide residues are strictly controlled; has passed authoritative certifications in multiple countries, with no compliance barriers for export.
Flavour-friendly: The sweetness is similar to that of sucrose, without the aftertaste of bitterness or metallic notes associated with artificial sweeteners. It masks bitterness and off-flavours in food, enhancing the complexity of the taste profile.
2. Stable performance, flexible application
Heat and acid resistance: Remains stable at temperatures up to 120°C and performs excellently in acidic environments, making it suitable for processing scenarios such as baking and high-temperature sterilised beverages.
High compatibility: Can be blended with erythritol, stevioside and other sweeteners to optimise sweetness and cost, adapting to various formulation requirements.
Diverse forms: Available in multiple specifications, including total glycosides 7%–95% and stevioside V 20%–95%, as well as in powder, liquid and granule forms, to meet the needs of different industries.
