Rebaudioside E is one of the minor steviol glycoside components first isolated and identified from Stevia rebaudiana in 1977. It is a high-intensity sweetener that tastes about 150-200 times sweeter than sucrose. It is also a precursor for the biosynthesis of rebaudioside D and rebaudioside M, the next-generation Stevia sweeteners. This study reports the enzymatic synthesis of rebaudioside E from stevioside using UDP-glucosyltransferase UGTSL2 from Solanum lycopersicum and sucrose synthase StSUS1 from Solanum tuberosum. [1]

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
Rebaudioside E was enzymatically synthesized from stevioside using UGTSL2 and StSUS1. In a 20-ml bioconversion reaction containing 20 g/l stevioside, 27.06 mU/ml UGTSL2, and 866.34 mU/ml StSUS1, the production of rebaudioside E reached 15.92 g/l after 24 hours at 30°C with shaking at 200 rpm. The conversion of stevioside was up to 90%. The product was identified by LC-MS/MS, with the characteristic parent ion at 966.4 m/z and fragment ions at 641.3 m/z and 806.0 m/z, matching the rebaudioside E standard. [1]
The purified UGTSL2 (0.25 mg) was used to confirm the conversion of stevioside (2 mM) with UDP-glucose (3 mM) as sugar donor, producing rebaudioside E. [1] |
| ln Vivo |
In animal models, rebaudioside E is generally well-tolerated at recommended doses, with no significant adverse effects on glucose homeostasis, blood pressure, or inflammation. At higher doses, it may cause gastrointestinal discomfort and alterations in gut microbiota composition.

| Enzyme Assay |
Rebaudioside E UGTSL2 glucosyltransferase activity assay: The reaction mixture (3 ml) contained 1.2 mM stevioside, 2 mM UDP-glucose, 3 mM MgCl₂ in 50 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.2), and 1 mg of total protein from crude extract (or 0.25 mg purified UGTSL2). Incubation was at 30°C for 30 min. After heating at 95°C for 10 min and centrifugation, samples were analyzed by HPLC. One unit (U) of glucosyltransferase activity was defined as the amount of enzyme that produced 1 μmol of rebaudioside D from rebaudioside A per minute. [1]
Sucrose synthase StSUS1 activity assay: The reaction mixture (3 ml) contained 500 mM sucrose and 10 mM UDP in 50 mM potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7.2) with 6 mg total protein from crude extract. Incubation was at 30°C, and samples were taken every hour. After heating at 95°C for 10 min and centrifugation, fructose concentrations were measured using the DNS method. One unit (U) of sucrose synthase activity was defined as the amount of enzyme releasing 1 μmol of fructose per minute. [1] |
| Animal Protocol |
In animal model studies, rebaudioside E has been evaluated at various dosages. At recommended doses, the compound was generally well-tolerated without significant adverse effects. At higher doses, some studies observed gastrointestinal discomfort and alterations in gut microbiota composition. The compound is absorbed in the small intestine and transported to the liver, where it undergoes further metabolism, with primary localization in the liver and kidneys.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Rebaudioside E is not absorbed intact. Following oral ingestion, it passes to the lower gastrointestinal tract where it undergoes extensive hydrolysis by gut microflora. In vitro studies using human fecal homogenates under anaerobic conditions demonstrate that rebaudioside E (0.2 mg/mL) is completely metabolized to the common aglycone steviol within 24 hours, with the majority of metabolism occurring within the first 16 hours. There were no apparent gender or ethnicity differences in the rate of metabolism. Steviolbioside, an intermediate in the hydrolysis pathway, is also rapidly degraded to steviol. The compound is absorbed in the small intestine, transported to the liver for further metabolism, and primarily localized in the liver and kidneys for excretion.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Rebaudioside E is considered safe for consumption at moderate levels. In vitro genotoxicity studies indicate no mutagenic potential, with an Ames test prediction of negative (89.00% probability). Carcinogenicity predictions are also negative (99.00% probability). Hepatotoxicity is predicted to be low (91.25% negative). At higher doses, excessive intake may lead to gastrointestinal discomfort and alterations in gut microbiota composition. Importantly, because rebaudioside E is metabolized to steviol in the same manner as rebaudioside A, the existing toxicology data available on steviol and on steviol glycosides metabolized to steviol (i.e., rebaudioside A) can be used to support the safety of rebaudioside E.

| Additional Infomation |
Rebaudioside E has the chemical structure where R1 is glcβ1-2glcβ1- and R2 is glcβ1-2glcβ1- (both at C-19 carboxyl and C-13 hydroxyl positions). Its molecular formula is C₄₄H₇₀O₂₃. It was first isolated from Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni in 1977. Rebaudioside E tastes about 150-200 times sweeter than sucrose and is also a precursor for biosynthesis of rebaudioside D and rebaudioside M. [1]
This study demonstrated that rebaudioside E can be converted from stevioside catalyzed by UGTSL2. The stereoselectivity and regioselectivity of UGTSL2 showed that the order of glucosylation of the Glc(β1→C-19) carboxyl group of steviol glycosides by UGTSL2 was: (β1→2) linkage > (β1→6) linkage >> (β1→3) linkage. No rebaudioside A (stevioside-G1 with Glcβ1-3Glcβ1→C-13 hydroxyl) was produced, indicating strict regioselectivity on the C-19 carboxyl position. [1] Rebaudioside E is a rebaudioside derivative of steviol glycoside, in which the hydroxyl group at the 2-position of the glucose ester moiety is converted to the corresponding β-D-glucoside. It is both a rebaudioside and a sophoroside. Its function is related to that of steviol glycoside. Rebaudioside E has been reported in stevia (Stevia rebaudiana), and relevant data are available.
