-Fine stability. It has excellent heat stability and wouldn’t be spoiled in 100°C neutral water, or in

120°C air for hours. In addition, it can be maintained under PH value 2.0~10.0 for two years

without quality affected.

-Safe and dependable. Experimentations shows its LD50 value more than 100g/kg; and no side effects found during thousands years using by Chinese people.

Main Components of Mogrosides

Mogrosides, the mixture of cucurbitane glycoside, which have the common mogrol, are comprised with 11 kinds of cucurbitane glycoside which are the Mogroside III, Mogrosied IV, Mogroside V, Mogroside IIE , Mogorside IIIE , Mogrosied A, Siamenside I,11- Oxo- Mogroside V and Neomogroside.

Mogroside IV is a component with no sweet taste.

Mogroside A, Mogroside II, and Neomogroside are bitterness substance.

In all cucurbitane glycoside, Siamenside I is the sweetest component, whose sweetness is approximate 563 times of sucrose. But its content in the fruit is very low.

The content and sweet degree both high in all the mogrosides is Mogroside V, the sweet degree of which is approximate 256-344 times.

Mogrosides' Biological Activity:

Mogrosides, the main active component of Monk Fruit, whose biological activity and functional mechanism can be referred as as followings:

1.   In1999, Chinese researchers Wang Ting and his group tested on the biological activity of
      mogrosides by mice. Then they discovered that mogrosides is help to expectorant, antitussive
      and calming asthma as well.

2.   In 2002, Japanese scientists Takao Konoshima and Midori Takasaki, and in 2003 Midori
      Takasaki, they together discovered that Mogroside V and 11-Oxo-Mogroside V are both a strong
       kind of chemical interdiction reagent through the in vivo and in vitro study . They stop and put a
      curb on the activation of EBV-EA and the progress of the second phrase of cancerization of
       mice’s skin remarkable.

3.   In 2004, according to Maria Alejandra HOSSEN and his partners’ researches, they discovered
       the mixtures of mogrosides can stop the tickle caused by histamine medicine in mice’s noses
       effectively.

4.   In 2002, Eiichiro Takeo and his group proved that the extraction of Monk Fruit can effectively
      restrain the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein. So effectively dose 11-Oxo-mogroside V, whose
      ability of oxidation depends on the degree of dosage, that is when dosage is less than 50uM,
     11-Oxo-Mogroside V will not display its capacity of anti-oxidation.

In addition, 11-Oxo-Mogroside V also shows a certain ability of anti-oxidation to free-radical, but

it is weaker than VE.

5.   In 2005, according to the researches of Yasushia Suzuki and his partners, extraction of Luo Han
      Guo could restrain the rise of the density of blood-sugar of mice which had eaten maltose
      effectively, while extraction of Monk Fruit couldn’t restrain that rise on the mice which had
      eaten glucose.

It clearly puts out the special function of Monk Fruit, that is, to lower density of mice’s blood sugar by restraining activity of maltase in small intestines and decreasing absorption of maltose. In case it also works for human body, Mogrosides is hoped to be used for treatment Tyep II diabetes.

Examples in Practical Application of Mogrosides in Food Industry:

Mogrosides can partially or wholly replace sucrose in food industry. For example, add 0.012% mogrosides into dextrin can make soft sweets without adding sugar. When substitute mogrosides for sucrose in biscuits production, the texture and taste will be very nice. When making pickles, to add 0.005% Mogrosides to the solution can reduce costs of salt, while the pickles tastes more crisp and fresh.

Mogrosides (Luo Han Guo Extract) can be blended with some other herbal extract (Green Tea, Kuduz, etc) to make into instant tea bag, beside works as sweet properties, Monk Fruit extract will also give benefit like thirst-quenching, diuretie, refreshing, lowering blood-pressure, promoting gastrointestinal function etc... To add Mogrosides(Luo Han Guo) into dairy products will also be a idea to create a new product. There is already Japan companies make Monk Fruit extract into a Sugar-Substitute for coffee and tea. Anyway, Monk Fruit extract is used in more and more in food industry with its natural benefit.
