stevioside
This term refers specifically to the chemical compound responsible for the sweetness in Stevia plants. It is used primarily in biochemical, nutritional, and food science contexts to distinguish the pure glycoside from the whole plant extract or the commercial sweetener blends.
As a chemical substance, it is treated as an uncountable mass noun. When referring to the molecule in a laboratory setting, it is typically used without an indefinite article, though it can be quantified using units of measurement or concentration levels.
