Stevioside, a natural plant-derived sweetener, holds a significant position in the food, beverage, and health supplement industries due to its unique sweetness and low calorie content. After careful consideration and practical validation, a 40-mesh screen was selected as the most suitable screening tool when determining its mesh size.
The 40-mesh screen, with its moderate pore size, effectively removes large impurities and incompletely ground stevioside particles while ensuring the smooth passage of the majority of active ingredients, avoiding quality degradation caused by over-refining. This choice is like a skilled screener meticulously selecting each stevioside particle that meets standards, ensuring product purity and uniformity.
Sieving with a 40-mesh screen not only ensures precise control of the physical properties of stevioside but also provides a solid guarantee of its quality. It acts as a tight defense, keeping out impurities that don't meet requirements, ensuring that every stevioside is presented to consumers in optimal condition.
Furthermore, the use of a 40-mesh screen balances production efficiency and cost control. The appropriate mesh size ensures screening efficiency, reduces energy consumption and time costs, and avoids increased equipment wear and reduced screening efficiency caused by an overly fine screen. This ensures product quality while maximizing economic benefits.
