What is Magou-VTM?

Magou-VTM is the brand name of Luo Han Guo extract manufactured by Hill Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., which is manufactured with our know-how technical through strict quality control system. It will meet cGMP and Kosher requirement. Magou-VTM will conform to a serial of high quality standard including color, solubility, tastes and standardized by 40% Mogroside V. Below is the Specification Sheet of Magou-VTM.

Magou-VTM is standardized by 40% Mogroside V, while some other brands Luo Han Guo extract are labeled as 80% Mogrosides, what’s the difference between them?80% Mogrosides will contain all components which have same mogrol, among them there are some non-sweet components like Mogroside IV, and also bitter components like Mogroside A, Mogrosides II and Neomogroside. Since the main purpose of Magou-VTM will be used as sweetener, then the only meaningful way to control the quality will be to calculate the potency of the real sweet component. Mogroside V is one of the most sweet constitute in Luo Han Guo (another most sweet constitute is Siamenside I, but it is very few in Luo Han Guo, and not realistic in economic to extract it as a sweetener), therefore we standardize our product by this component. We have ever collect from market several brands Luo Han Guo extract which all claimed as 80% mogrosides, but their sweet potency is quite different, and the contents of Mogroside V in them differed from 17.6% to 34.4%. Therefore we prefer to control our product only by Mogroside V through a HPLC method, which is more accuracy to represent the true quality of the product.

Why Magou-VTM should be the priority choice when food/drink manufacturers consider using Luo Han Guo product as sweet agent?

As sweetener, the ideal taste would be like refined white sugar, means no other miscellaneous flavors except sweetness. Most people may not expect his Latte becomes a cup of licorice liquid or something alike right after he added sweetener. So, it is very important to minimize the characteristic taste of Luo Han Guo, and only remain its sweetness. In this point, we dare to say Magou-VTM is the most successful product with its pure, neutral and long-lasting sweetness. Though it doesn’t completely eliminate each flavor trace of Luo Han Guo, it already consumedly exceeds other brands. All of these should be given credits to our special manufacturing technologies and strict management of quality.

Why we set Mogroside V 40% as the quality standard, not 60% or 20%?

It is proved by our researches that an extract contains 20% Magroside V will keep too many characteristic Luo Han Guo taste, therefore this grade should not be suitable as sweetener. On another hand, when the content of Mogroside V has been improved to 60% in the extract, its cost will be double of 40% grade when receive same sweet degree, but its taste in purity side seems has not been conspicuously meliorated. Consequently, we standardized our Magou-VTM by 40% Mogroside V to enable our customers will use the best products at relative lowest costs.
