HIGH REBAUDIOSIDE-A PLANT VARIETAL, METHODS OF EXTRACTION AND PURIFICATION THEREFROM, OF COMPOSITIONS WITH ENHANCED REBAUDIOSIDE-A CONTENT AND USES OF SAID COMPOSITION

摘要

A Stevia rebaudiana plant is characterized by Rebaudioside A (RA) content of 6-20% dry weight and total steviol glycosides content of 15-28% dry weight in the leaf. The plant is developed using selective breeding technologies and identified by RAPD gene analysis.
