Rebaudioside D, a glycoside of the diterpene steviol is a minor constituent found in leaves of Stevia rebaudiana. It is considered non-caloric and is about 200–220 times sweeter than sucrose.
Rebaudioside D is a natural non-caloric sweetener. It is a steviol glycoside that has been found in S. rebaudiana leaves. Rebaudioside D, similarly to rebaudioside A and rebaudioside C, is metabolized by gut microbiota to steviol, a compound whose safety is widely studied.
