Monk Fruit
Monk Fruit Extract – Overview
Monk Fruit, also known as Luo Han Guo, is a natural sweetener obtained from the fruit of the Siraitia grosvenorii plant, mainly grown in Southern China. It has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese preparations and is now becoming popular worldwide as a natural sugar alternative.
Monk Fruit Extract contains natural sweet compounds called Mogrosides, which provide intense sweetness without adding significant calories. Depending on its concentration, Monk Fruit Extract can be 20–200 times sweeter than regular sugar. It has a pleasant, fruity sweetness and is widely used in sugar-free and reduced-calorie food products.
Monk Fruit Extract has minimal impact on blood sugar levels and is suitable for use in various food and beverage formulations. It is commonly used in soft drinks, dairy products, chocolates, confectionery, bakery products, tabletop sweeteners, and nutritional products.
Herboveda India offers premium-quality Monk Fruit Extract in different Mogroside V grades, including MV 5%, MV 15%, MV 25%, and MV 50%, for food, beverage, and industrial applications.

It is a natural, plant-based, high-intensity sweetener that provides excellent sweetness with negligible calories at typical usage levels. Its pleasant sweet taste and good solubility make it suitable for beverages, confectionery, nutritional supplements, lozenges, chewable tablets, and oral formulations.
