Erythritol–Stevia Blend Samples: Particle Size, Specifications, and COA Review
Match an erythritol–stevia blend sample to its formula, target sweetness, mesh or particle-size range, and batch COA with this receiving checklist.
When an erythritol–stevia sweetener blend arrives, match the sample to its formula documents and finished-product specification. Besides ingredient ratios and target sweetness, check powder form, mesh specification or particle-size range for suitability in mixing, packing or dissolution.
Hengliyuan provides customers purchasing finished blends with complete ingredient names, exact proportions, target sweetness and finished-product specifications. State equipment or particle-size requirements before sampling and include the final agreed requirements in the order specification.
Check the formula, particle specification and sample condition
Products called erythritol–stevia blends may differ in formula, sweetness and particle specification. Check each item on arrival:
| Item | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Ingredients and proportions | Match to the selected formula; no unacceptable ingredients |
| Target sweetness | Development target and how to establish dosage |
| Powder form | Fine powder, granules or mixed form |
| Mesh or particle-size range | Sieve standard and requirements for percentage passing or particle-size distribution |
| Sample condition | Particles meet the agreement; no obvious caking |
| Packaging and storage | Clear packaging specification, storage conditions and shelf life |
A mesh number alone is insufficient: define what it requires. Must a specified proportion pass a particular sieve, or must particles fall within an agreed size range? A shared standard supports later acceptance checks. Inspect coarseness and caking first. To confirm the agreed size, use the sieving or particle-size test method accepted by both parties.
Test the particle specification in your process
Choose particle size for the application. In dry mixing, check ease of uniform blending; in stick packs or jars, assess feeding and dosing; in beverages, observe dissolution at actual water temperature, dosage and stirring conditions. Use production ingredients and equipment conditions as closely as possible, noting what works and what needs adjustment. Mesh specification is one selection and acceptance criterion; process results establish practical suitability. If particle specifications change later, reconfirm mixing, feeding or dissolution even if ingredient ratios remain unchanged, and update samples and specification documents.
Distinguish ingredient documents, finished specifications and batch reports
Documents describe different objects. Separate them into three categories:
| Document | Purpose | Key checks |
|---|---|---|
| Erythritol or stevia ingredient documents | Understand the ingredients used | Ingredient name, grade and relevant parameters |
| Finished blend specification | Define agreed requirements for the whole product | Ingredient proportions, target sweetness, particle specification and other quality requirements |
| Batch certificate of analysis (COA) or test report | Read results for the batch or submitted sample | Product name, batch, test object, test items and results |
If a blend sample comes with only an erythritol report, that report describes the ingredient, not the whole finished blend. The stevia ingredient’s assay value is not its inclusion percentage in the blend. Read results together with units, methods and scope. An unlisted test item does not mean a zero result; “not detected” must be interpreted against the stated detection limit. Raise specific test requirements early and confirm document coverage. State local regulatory and certification requirements before sample selection. Check the certificate’s covered entity, products or activities and validity period to establish relevance to this purchase.
Confirm formula and particle specification together
Keep a number for each sample, linked to its formula version, target sweetness, particle specification and documents. Mark new versions after changing sweetness, proportions or particle specification to avoid mixing records. Compare taste with the original sugar formula, recording initial sweetness, aftertaste and original flavor changes. See our sampling article for the method. Explore custom blend sampling and taste adjustment When ordering, confirm the chosen sample number, final formula, particle specification, packaging and test requirements together. Production and trial batches can differ, but each must have clearly matched batch documents and product specifications consistent with the order. When requesting Hengliyuan samples, explain the application, destination country, target sweetness, excluded ingredients, equipment, mesh requirements, and relevant regulations, certifications or tests. If particle specifications are undecided, describe mixing, packing or reconstitution first, then compare samples. Ask about Hengliyuan erythritol–stevia sweetener blends

How Hengliyuan makes the corresponding blend
Hengliyuan makes its erythritol-based sweetener blends by fluid-bed granulation. In this common food-powder process, airflow fluidizes the powders as particles agglomerate. Confirm the particle specification, dissolution and application performance against the selected formula and sample.
