S3—39 Specification for Steviol Glycosides from Fermentation

1. This specification relates to a steviol glycosides preparation that:
1. is obtained from fermentation;
2. is not obtained from the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni plant; and
3. contains a prescribed steviol glycoside.
2. In this section,
   prescribed steviol glycoside means a steviol glycoside listed in the table below if the steviol glycoside is derived from the corresponding source specified in the table.

Prescribed Steviol Glycosides

3. The specifications are the following:
1. Description—white to light yellow powder, approximately 200 to 300 times sweeter than sucrose;
2. Assay—not less than 95% of steviol glycosides on the dried basis;
3. Solubility—freely soluble in water;
4. pH—between 4.5 and 7.0 (1% solution);
5. Total ash—not more than 1%;
6. Loss on drying—not more than 6% (105°C, 2 hour);
7. Residual solvents—not more than 200 mg/kg methanol and not more than 5000 mg/kg ethanol;
8. Arsenic—not more than 1 mg/kg;
9. Lead—not more than 1 mg/kg;
10. Cadmium—not more than 1 mg/kg;
