Monk fruit extract
Mogroside V 25%, 40% and 50% — luo han guo sweetener
Fruit-derived high-intensity sweetener standardised to mogroside V, for beverages, dairy, nutrition powders, bakery and tabletop blends.
Monk fruit extract comes from luo han guo (Siraitia grosvenorii), a small gourd grown in southern China. Its sweetness comes from mogrosides, and extracts are standardised to their mogroside V content so every lot delivers the same sweetening power.
Mogroside V 50% is the most potent and the palest, with the least fruit character — best for beverages and delicate flavours. 40% balances potency and cost. 25% is the most economical per kilogram and suits products where a light caramel or fruity note is welcome. We provide a sweetness-equivalence guide with each specification to help you dose.
Most commercial tabletop and bakery sweeteners combine monk fruit with a bulking sweetener such as erythritol. In beverages it is often paired with Reb M or Reb A. Tell us what you are building and we can suggest grades to trial.
Every lot ships with its certificate of analysis, and specifications, SDS and statements are available before you order. Confirm the regulatory position for your product and market with your compliance adviser — we provide the documents to support it.

The 50% grade. Sweetness per gram increases with the mogroside V percentage, so you need less of the higher grades.
