Stevia extracts have been investigated for their potential use as natural pesticides and insect repellents in agriculture. Certain compounds in stevia leaves exhibit insecticidal properties and may offer eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic pesticides. Moreover, stevia extracts are explored as feed additives for livestock to enhance palatability and improve feed intake. They may contribute to developing natural and sustainable livestock nutrition and health solutions.
Moreover, enhancing stevia’s taste profile to mimic sugar’s sweetness and mouthfeel remains a primary focus of innovation. Advances in stevia extraction methods and taste modulation techniques aim to reduce lingering bitterness or aftertaste associated with stevia, improving its overall acceptability among consumers.
