How has the research for rebiana differed with research conducted on other sweetening products?
In the case of other sweeteners like sucralose, the compound was new, and hence, extensive studies were necessary to confirm its safety for use. Rebiana however, has been used for many years in the form of stevia products and supplements, which have been widely available. Also, researchers already had much of their investigative work done for them, because of the extensive work that had already been done on stevioside, a steviol glycoside which is identical to rebaudioside A.
