About this supplement
Mogrosides are a group of triterpene glycosides extracted and purified from the fruit of Siraitia grosvenorii (monk fruit). They are intensely sweet compounds, approximately 150-250 times sweeter than sucrose, but contain negligible calories as they are not metabolized for energy. The purified extract typically contains high concentrations of mogroside V, the primary sweetening component, along with other mogrosides (IV, III, II, I). This extract is valued as a natural, high-intensity sweetener and is also studied for potential bioactive properties beyond sweetness.

Chemical ID (CAS)
88901-36-4 (for Siraitia grosvenorii extract)
Physical properties
Typically a white to light yellow hygroscopic powder. Soluble in water and aqueous alcohols. Has an intensely sweet taste with a slight licorice or fruity aftertaste at high concentrations.
How it’s made
Produced by aqueous or ethanolic extraction of the dried, crushed fruit of Siraitia grosvenorii (monk fruit). The crude extract is then purified through processes like membrane filtration, chromatography, or crystallization to increase the mogroside content (often to >50%, with high-purity extracts >80% mogroside V) and remove sugars, proteins, and other fruit components.
