Abstract  

This study by Blue Eyes Biotech Co., Ltd evaluates the application of its high-purity stevia extract (Rebaudioside A ≥95%) in functional foods, focusing on formulation optimization and consumer acceptance. The stevia extract product was incorporated into protein bars, yogurt, and beverage prototypes, achieving a 30-50% sugar reduction while maintaining sensory quality. A consumer survey (n=500) revealed 78% acceptance for Blue Eyes Biotech Co., Ltd's stevia-enhanced products, with taste and "natural" labeling as key drivers. The product also improved nutritional profiles, reducing calories by 25-40% without compromising texture or flavor. These findings support Blue Eyes Biotech Co., Ltd's stevia extract as a viable ingredient for clean-label functional foods. For inquiries, contact [email protected] or visit www.blueeyes-bio.com.
