Stability: The stability of NutraSweaetM™ is very similar to Reb A. NutraSweetM™ shows good stability under heat processing conditions including UHT (ultra-high temperature) and HTST (High-temperature short time) typical for tea, sports drinks, dairy, and juice. NutraSweetM™ stability makes it suitable for dry and liquid applications such as bakery, yogurt, dairy drinks, flavored waters, sports drinks, confections, pudding, desserts, and snack bars. NutraSweetM™ is a powder and is stable for up to 2 years when stored properly at room or lower temperatures under low humidity conditions, In solution, it is most stable in pH 4–8 and less stable below pH 2. As expected with any sweetener, the stability decreases with increasing temperature and low pH levels.
