Glucosyl Steviol Glycosides
Glucosyl Steviol Glycosides are steviol glycosides that have been enzymatically modified by adding alpha-linked glucose units onto the native glycoside sugar chains.
The modification is carried out with cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) in the presence of a starch-derived glucose donor. The result is a broad mixture of glucosylated stevioside, glucosylated Reb A, and minor species, with improved solubility and a softer sweet profile compared with the starting material.
We source bulk Glucosyl Steviol Glycosides from top China manufacturers for our partners, working with several of them. The manufacturers are in Shandong, Beijing and Anhui. A smaller requirement can ship in a combined container with other ingredients.
Please send the grade you need, the volume and your destination port, and we will come back with a solution and a price.

Common Markets Grades
The product is generally specified by total glucosyl steviol glycoside content and by the ratio of mono-, di-, tri-, and tetra-glucosyl species.
Standard food-grade material runs at 80 to 95 percent total glycosides on a dry basis, with the remainder consisting of residual reaction sugars.
High-purity grades at 95 percent and above are produced for clear beverage applications where a fully soluble, neutral-colour powder is required.
Blended grades combine glucosyl steviol glycosides with parent stevia extract or with Reb A to fine-tune sweetness onset and persistence at a defined cost point.

How We Help Source Glucosyl Steviol Glycosides
Direct Factory Sourcing
We run the whole process: selecting the manufacturer from the top Chinese food ingredient producers, negotiating the price, verifying quality, and coordinating the logistics. You deal with us instead of with several factories at once.
Original Packaging and Documents from the Manufacturer
The manufacturer sends your Glucosyl Steviol Glycosides out of its own factory in the original packing, through to your destination port. The COA, COO, MSDS, TDS and any certifications reach you from the manufacturer as well.
Free Samples and Lead Time
We send 100 to 500 g free for your own laboratory to test and you cover only the courier, usually within 2 to 3 working days. ETD is usually within 7 to 15 days once the order is confirmed, and we check that date against the factory's own manufacturing schedule before we give it to you.
Combined Shipment
We can load Glucosyl Steviol Glycosides together with other ingredients such as Stevia, Erythritol and Maltitol into one 20' FCL. If your quantity is small, we can also ship LCL.
Regulatory Status
Glucosyl Steviol Glycosides are recognised as a steviol glycoside sub-category in major regulated markets.
In the European Union the material is covered under E960c, the sub-listing introduced for enzyme-modified steviol glycosides. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration accepts the product under GRAS notices that cover the CGTase modification process.
JECFA has evaluated enzyme-modified steviol glycosides and concluded that the product meets the steviol glycosides specification, with the ADI expressed as steviol.
Kosher and Halal certifications are routinely available. Non-GMO Project verification is generally not available because the CGTase enzyme is often produced in genetically modified host organisms.
Manufacturing Process
Production starts with a purified steviol glycoside feed, typically stevia extract at 80 to 95 percent TSG, and a starch-derived glucose donor such as dextrin or partially hydrolysed starch.
The feed is dissolved in water and reacted with cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase). The enzyme transfers alpha-1,4 and alpha-1,6 linked glucose units from the donor onto the existing glucose residues of the steviol glycoside, generating a ladder of glucosylated species.
Reaction control over enzyme dose, donor-to-acceptor ratio, time, and temperature sets the average chain length. Longer chains increase solubility and soften sweetness, but reduce per-weight potency.
The reaction mass is heat-treated to inactivate the enzyme, decolorised over activated carbon, deionized, and concentrated. The product is spray dried to a free-flowing white powder.
