Properties:
                 White crystalline powder odorless with strong sweet taste, its dilute solution is approximately 200 times
                  sweeter than sugar, having a taste closely similar to that of cane sugar possessing a clean sweet taste
                  of  sugar without any bitter or metallic taste, the PH value of its aqueous solution (0.8%) being 4-6.5,
                  unstable in aqueous solution easily decompose to lose sweet taste, rather stable at low temp, and PH
                  value being 3-5 slightly soluble in water (approximately 1%) and in ethyl alcohol(0.26mg/100ml).

Application:
                   It's used as a food additive, a new kind of low Calorie, nutritive, intense sweetener.

Packing:
                   25kg drums.
