<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a high throughput, high purity, high yield system and method of isolating and purifying rebaudioside A ("Reb A"), with acceptable water solubility for all commercial uses, from commercially available Stevia rebaudiana starting material, and a means of maximizing yields of 99+% purity Reb A based on the attributes of a given batch of the Stevia starting material. <P>SOLUTION: Effective Reb A purities of a final product, and Reb A yields, for the given Stevia starting material can be obtained, while minimizing processing costs, by use of the starting material assay with an optional mass to solvent ratio assay. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
