The approval of Stevia glycosides as GRAS and their expected widespread use in foods and beverages as non-caloric sweeteners has prompted a need for high purity reference standards. As part of the effort to prepare those standards, we have purified quantities of more than twenty glycosides from commercial Stevia rebaudiana extract. We are reporting the characterization of three, 1–3. Compound 3 very nearly co-elutes with Rebaudioside D in the current JEFCA Stevia HPLC method. This is the first report of eugenol glycoside 2 in Stevia rebaudiana.
