Active Compound Rebaudioside M2 (next-generation stevia steviol glycoside)

Benefits

Superior Water Solubility

SteviUp M2 has superior water solubility compared with conventional stevia Reb M — addresses formulation challenges of stevia products.

Supported by Trial 1

More Sugar-Like Taste

Optimized to deliver more sugar-like taste with shorter lingering sweetness — major taste advance for natural sweeteners.

FDA GRAS Approved

Reviewed by FDA and recognized as GRAS for use as general-purpose sweetener in food and beverage products.

Supported by Trial 1

Enzymatic Bioconversion (Non-GMO)

Derived through enzymatic conversion of purified steviol glycosides — clean-label, non-GMO, plant-based.

Customizable

Can be customized to complement specific food and beverage products.

Sustainability and Scalability

Layn invested in R&D for breeding new stevia leaf varieties and optimizing manufacturing processes; sustainable scalable production.

Mechanism of action

1

Rebaudioside M2 Activity

Reb M2 is steviol glycoside variant produced via enzymatic conversion; differs from natural Reb A and Reb M in glycoside chain pattern; provides superior taste/solubility profile.

2

Enzymatic Conversion Process

Enzymes convert one steviol glycoside to another; allows production of less abundant but more functional glycosides; more efficient than agricultural cultivation alone.

3

No Insulin Response

Like other steviol glycosides, does not stimulate insulin release.

4

Improved Taste Profile Mechanism

Reb M2's specific structure activates sweet taste receptors with reduced activation of bitter receptors — cleaner overall taste.
