Abstract:
Steviana (ST) is a natural sweetener obtained from the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant and has the potential to be widely used in our diets. We monitored the bactreial population and species in the rat gut using viable bacterial counts and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) methods to examine the impact of ST on changes in bacterial diversity in the intestinal tract. The viable cell count and DGGE data showed that the ST had no influence on the total bacteria, enter bacteria, and lactobacilli composition. Although it was found that steviana might improve lactobacilli diversity, a low dose only little changed the diversity whereas a high dose significantly increased the species of lactobacilli, thereby enhancing host health. In conclusion, ST appears to have little impact on the makeup of bacteria, indicating that it is safe for gut microbes.
