GSG – Glucosylated Steviol Glycosides
GSG is Daepyung’s patented enzyme-treated stevia ingredient. The technology modifies steviol glycosides by attaching tapioca-derived glucose units, resulting in improved sensory performance compared to conventional stevia extracts.
Key Advantages of GSG
- Reduced bitterness
- Reduced lingering aftertaste
- Faster sweetness onset
- Improved sweetness roundness
- Better overall flavor integration in finished products
Technology Overview
Enzyme-treated stevia is produced by transferring glucosyl groups to steviol glycosides using glycosyltransferase and dextrin as a substrate. The resulting ingredient can contain multiple glucosyl groups, significantly improving taste acceptability. GSG includes various steviol glycoside forms such as Reb D, Reb M, and Reb O.
GSG is designed for formulators seeking to overcome the common sensory limitations of stevia while maintaining clean-label, natural sweetening solutions across food and beverage applications.
