A natural-origin sweetener derived from the stevia plant, but processed using enzymes to modify the glycoside molecules — making it sweeter and more consistent than standard stevia extracts. Found in diet drinks, flavoured yogurts, and meal replacement products. Approved by EFSA and FDA as safe within established limits. It carries no calories and doesn't raise blood sugar, making it popular in weight-control and diabetic-friendly products. Some people notice a mild bitter or liquorice-like aftertaste. No significant safety concerns at typical consumption levels.
