storage
We have leaves stored at 8-11% moisture in RT for more than 5 years. There is no change in Stevioside content. We have not analysed the other components of the leaf. Stevioside is highly stable to change in temperature and PH which are the major changes in storage. Literature has leaves over 50 years old with no change in stevioside contents in European collections.
