Description

Monk fruit, also known as luo han guo or swingle fruit, is a small round fruit native to southern China. Monk fruit extract is a natural sweetener made from the fruit of the Siraitia grosvenori plant. The sweet compounds in monk fruit extract are mogrosides, the most prominent of which is mogroside V. It is 100-250 times sweeter than sucrose, thus only a small amount is needed to equal the sweetness provided by sucrose. Due to its unique sweetness and low calorie content, it is becoming increasingly popular among health-conscious consumers around the world.

Main Functions

Monk fruit extract provides a calorie-free sweetener, which makes it a good sugar substitute that may help reduce the risk of obesity and diabetes. Studies have shown that monk fruit extract improves insulin response and does not affect blood sugar levels like natural sugar. This means it can provide the sweetness we so intensely crave without the damaging side effects. The mogrosides in monk fruit extract are the compounds that give it its intense sweetness and are also powerful antioxidants that reduce free radical damage in the body. In addition, monk fruit extract has the ability to inhibit the growth of skin and breast tumors and provides proteins with anti-cancer abilities.
