Technical Information
Understanding Sweetness from Monk Fruit:
BioVittoria standardises Fruit-Sweetness™ in terms of
the Mogroside V content only, which we measure using
HPLC. This is because sweetness potency is directly
proportional to Mogroside V concentration, (a generally
accepted fact but one which we have had confirmed by an
independent sensory testing service using an extremely
detailed and accurate methodology) and because mogroside
V is the only mogroside for which an analytical standard
is readily available.
The “total” mogroside value used by other monk fruit
product suppliers is inaccurate and misleading. This is
due to the fact that the UV/VIS method employed can not
distinguish between mogrosides and other non-mogroside
components such as melanoidins and flavonoids.
