About GSG Melis300

Melis300 is an enzyme-modified steviol glycoside (ESG) produced via glucosylation — glucose units enzymatically transferred onto the steviol backbone. GL Stevia's proprietary low-temperature dual-enzyme process is what sets it apart: mild thermal conditions preserve molecular integrity, while dual-enzyme synergy ensures uniform, complete glycosylation.

This process precision translates directly into performance: dramatically enhanced solubility, zero sedimentation, and a clean, sugar-like body. For beverage manufacturers who demand fast dissolution and formulation stability — Melis300 is the definitive choice.

GSG Advantages — Why Enzyme-Modified Stevia

★Superior Solubility

≥25% solubility vs Reb-D (0.03%) and Reb-M (0.1%). Dissolves fast, no sedimentation on beverage lines.

★Full, Smooth Mouthfeel

Glucosylation builds body and roundness. No 'thin' taste typical of conventional stevia. Closer to sugar experience.

★Heat Stability

Glucose units form a protective layer ('onion-peel effect') that shields the steviol core, delaying hydrolysis during processing.

★Acid Stability

Resistant to acidic conditions. Ideal for carbonated soft drinks (CSD), fruit-flavored beverages, and low-pH formulations.

★Processing Friendly

Excellent powder flowability, low dust. Easy to pre-mix and dose. Reduces downtime on high-speed production lines.

★Market Timing Advantage

GSG is the next frontier in stevia. Early adopters gain a 2–3 year competitive head start before it becomes a commodity.

Target Applications

RTD Tea & Functional Beverages

High-dilution ready-to-drink products.

Carbonated Soft Drinks

Zero-sugar sodas where mouthfeel and acid stability matter.

Beverage Syrups & Concentrates

High-Brix systems. Solubility at concentration is the key bottleneck.

Dairy & Plant-Based Drinks

Neutral pH beverages needing smooth, full body without sedimentation.
