1 Name
This instrument is the Food Standards (Application A1037 – Steviol Glycosides – Increase in Permitted Use Levels) Variation.
2 Variation to Standards in the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code
The Schedule varies the Standards in the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code.
3 Commencement
These variations commence on 11 July 2011.
SCHEDULE
[1] Standard 1.3.1 is varied by –
[1.1] inserting in subclause 5(2) after the entry for sorbic acid –
steviol glycosides shall be calculated as steviol equivalents in accordance with the formula used in subclause 3.
[1.2] inserting after subclause 5(2) –
(3) To calculate the steviol equivalent levels for a steviol glycoside, the following calculation is used –
[SE] = CF x [SG]
where –
CF = Conversion Factor as listed in the Table for the corresponding steviol glycoside
[SG] = concentration of individual steviol glycoside
[SE] = concentration as steviol equivalents
Table to clause 5(3)
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| Steviol glycoside | Conversion factor |
| Steviol | 1.00 |
| Stevioside | 0.40 |
| Rebaudioside A | 0.33 |
| Rebaudioside B | 0.40 |
| Rebaudioside C | 0.33 |
| Rebaudioside D | 0.28 |
| Rebaudioside F | 0.34 |
| Dulcoside A | 0.40 |
| Rubusoside | 0.50 |
| Steviolbioside | 0.50 |
Examples:
Example of calculation of steviol equivalents for a single glycoside:
A preparation of 100 mg/kg of Rebaudioside B contains 100 x 0.40 = 40 mg/kg steviol equivalents.
Example of calculation of steviol equivalents for a mixture of glycosides:
