What’s the sweetness profile of GSG?
Glucosylation boosts sweetness 1.3-1.8× versus native glycosides (GSG-RebA 250-300× sucrose), with customized DP (degree of polymerization) options available for specific application needs.
What’s the molecular weight range of GSG?
GSG compounds range from 967-1,291Da (vs 804-967Da for standard steviol glycosides), with precisely controlled DP (degree of polymerization) of 1-3 glucose units added per molecule, verified by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry.
How does GSG enhance flavor systems?
GSG's glucosyl groups form molecular capsules that protect volatile flavor compounds (23-35% less evaporation at 60°C vs sucrose), while reducing astringency by 40-60% in tea/coffee applications through polyphenol interaction modulation.
What’s GSG’s solubility in alcohol systems?
GSG demonstrates excellent solubility in ethanol (>25g/100ml at 25°C for 40% ethanol solutions), outperforming regular steviol glycosides by 8-10×, making it ideal for RTD cocktails and medicinal syrups.
What’s GSG’s synergy with other sweeteners?
GSG shows remarkable synergy (1.5-1.8× sweetness enhancement) with erythritol and allulose, but reduces sucralose/metallic aftertaste by 60-70%. Our proprietary blend algorithms optimize these interactions based on DSC thermal analysis data.
What’s the osmotic pressure impact of GSG?
GSG creates 35-45% lower osmotic pressure than sucrose at equivalent sweetness, measured at 250-300 mOsm/kg for 10% GSG solutions vs 450-500 mOsm/kg for sucrose, reducing dehydration effects in sports nutrition applications.
Are GSG modifications detectable in analysis?
Yes, our UPLC-PDA-MS methods can precisely identify glucose additions (molecular weight increases of 162Da per glucose) with ≤2% margin of error, distinguishing GSG from native steviol glycosides.
How does GSG perform in acidic conditions?
GSG shows superior stability with only 3-5% degradation at pH 2.5/37°C for 60 days (vs 15-20% for Reb A), making it perfect for carbonated soft drinks and citrus products.
What taste improvements does GSG offer?
GSG reduces bitterness by 70-80% (measured by electronic tongue) with smoother onset (≤2s vs 4-6s for Reb A) and extended sweetness duration (180-220s vs 120-150s), making it ideal for dairy and beverages.
