Steviol Glycosides (eBook)

Dr.Ursula Wölwer-Rieck graduated in Food Chemistry and has a PhD in natural sciences. Her academic research is focused on the plant Stevia rebaudiana and its constituents, mainly on steviol glycosides. She has published several papers and given lectures on the analysis of steviol glycosides, their stability in food and further constituents of the plant. She is also a board member of the European Stevia Association (EUSTAS) whose petition for steviol glycosides led to their approval as food additives in Europe in 2011 and a member of the advisory board of the Global Stevia Institute.
