This paper has highlighted the structure, properties,and applications of stevioside in the food industry Furthermore, some recent technological advances regardingthe extraction methods (high-speed counter-current chroma-tography (HSCCC), pressurized hot-water extraction(PHWE), microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), ultrasonic-assisted extraction), and analytical techniques (hydrophobicchromatography, HPLC-ESIMS, highly sensitive reversedphase, and LC-MS-ESI) of stevioside were also discussed.Additionally, the previous literature findings were alsoreviewed, which suggest that stevioside could be used as anatural sweetener and a sugar replacer in different foods
