Reb D requires 12-15% slower cooling rates (0.2°C/min vs 0.35°C/min for Reb A) due to its anisotropic crystal growth. Orthorhombic crystals form at 55-58% ethanol concentration, yielding 20% larger particle size (150-180μm) with superior purity (99.3±0.4%).

10kDa ceramic membranes achieve 98.5% Reb D recovery while removing 99.2% of pigments and proteins. Operating at 2.5bar transmembrane pressure with 50°C feed temperature maintains flux rate of 15-18LMH without fouling.

Reb D shows 23% less sweetness suppression than Reb A in 65°Brix solutions, with linear sweetness perception up to 500ppm concentration. Solubility remains >100g/L in 60°Brix sucrose solutions at 4°C, making it ideal for concentrated beverage syrups.

Reb D demonstrates superior pH stability vs Reb A, with

Yes, Reb D solutions tolerate higher temperatures: 85°C for 40s (vs 75°C for Reb A) due to its glycosylation pattern. This allows for commercial sterilization while maintaining

Activated carbon treatment (0.5% w/v, 60°C for 30min) achieves APHA color ≤20. Hunter Lab values must show L* ≥85, a* -0.5 to +0.5, b* ≤5.0, measured against 10% aqueous solution with spectrophotometer at 420nm.
