Product Data
| Botanical Identity | Siraitia grosvenorii |
|---|---|
| Plant Part | Fruit, either juice-extracted or whole-fruit dried and milled depending on form |
| Available Forms | Spray-dried juice powder, freeze-dried powder, MV50 standardized powder (conventional and organic), and MV50 standardized extract for custom blending (conventional and organic) |
| Odor and Flavor | Intensely sweet with a fruity, caramel-like undertone and no bitter aftertaste; mild, pleasant aroma across all forms |
| Packaging | Bulk multiwall bag for industrial orders; smaller retail-ready formats available for private label programs |
| Shelf Life | Extended shelf stability under dry, ambient storage |
| Shipping and Storage | Ship and store dry and at ambient temperature, protected from moisture |
| Moisture | 5% maximum |
| Sugar Profile | Contains no significant sucrose, glucose, or fructose; sweetness is delivered by non-nutritive mogroside glycosides rather than traditional sugars |
| Mogroside V Content (Marker Compound) | Varies by version. MV50 powder and extract forms are standardized to a minimum 50% Mogroside V; spray-dried juice powder and freeze-dried powder are unstandardized, full-spectrum juice or fruit powders |
| Sweetness Intensity | 100 to 250 times sweeter than sugar by weight, standard for Mogroside V-standardized extract |
| Viscosity or Bulk Density | Varies by version |
| Microbiological and Authenticity Controls | Total plate count, yeast and mold, and Salmonella tested to standard sweetener benchmarks; authenticity testing confirms Mogroside V content matches the labeled standardization for MV50 grades |
| Certification Status | Varies by version: organic certification is available for the MV50 organic powder and MV50 organic extract; the spray-dried juice powder, freeze-dried powder, and conventional MV50 forms are conventional |
| Positioning and Intended Use | Varies by version: the spray-dried juice powder, freeze-dried powder, and MV50 powder are ready-to-use sweeteners for direct formulation; the MV50 extract is a raw standardized ingredient intended for custom blending with other high-intensity sweeteners such as stevia, erythritol, xylitol, and sucralose in bars, protein powders, fiber mixes, and powdered drink formulations |

Production & Sourcing
Source86 sources monk fruit from China, Thailand, and Vietnam to manage seasonal harvest windows and protect buyers from single-origin supply risk. Processing diverges after harvest depending on the target form: juice-based powders are extracted and dried directly, while MV50 grades undergo an additional standardization step to fix the Mogroside V content.
- Harvesting: Ripe monk fruit, also known as Luo Han Guo, is harvested once fully matured.
- Juice Extraction and Filtration: For juice-based powders, harvested fruit is pressed to extract juice, which is filtered to remove solids and impurities.
- Concentration: Extracted juice is concentrated to intensify sweetness and reduce water content ahead of drying.
- Drying: Depending on the target form, concentrated juice or whole dried fruit is spray-dried, freeze-dried, or milled into a fine powder.
- Extraction and Standardization: For MV50 grades, processed fruit is refined to isolate and standardize the mogroside content to a minimum 50% Mogroside V.
- Screening and Quality Check: Finished product is screened for consistent particle size and tested against its target specification before packaging.
- Packaging: Finished product is packed under conditions that maintain segregation between organic and conventional lots.
Applications
- Beverages and Smoothies: Used to sweeten soft drinks, juices, flavored waters, teas, coffees, and powdered drink mixes
- Bakery and Baked Goods: Used as a sugar substitute in cakes, cookies, muffins, and bread
- Dairy and Frozen Desserts: Used to sweeten yogurt, ice cream, sorbet, and flavored milk
- Sauces, Dressings, and Condiments: Used in marinades, barbecue sauces, dressings, and fruit-based condiments
- Snacks and Confectionery: Used in energy bars, granola bars, protein bars, chocolates, and candies

Benefits for Commercial Manufacturing
- Format Flexibility: Offering both cubes and slices lets manufacturers match piece size to their existing dosing, topping, or packaging line without reformulating.
- Simplified Qualification: A single consolidated specification and documentation set covers both formats, reducing supplier approval work.
- Sourcing Continuity: Multi-country sourcing across India, China, and Thailand supports consistent year-round availability.
- Documentation Readiness: Certificate of Analysis, allergen statement, and origin documentation are issued per shipment to support incoming inspection.
- Clean Label Appeal: Single-ingredient composition with no added sugar or preservatives supports clean-label positioning.
- Nutrient Retention Advantage: Freeze-drying’s lower processing temperature retains more of the fruit’s natural nutrient profile than heat-dried alternatives, supporting better-for-you product claims.
