Monk Fruit Extract (Mogroside V, CAS 88901-36-4) is a natural high-intensity sweetener extracted from the fruit of Siraitia grosvenorii (Luo Han Guo). The primary sweet component, Mogroside V (C₆₀H₁₀₂O₂₉, MW 1287.43), is a cucurbitane-type triterpene glycoside approximately 250–300 times sweeter than sucrose. Monk fruit extract provides zero-calorie sweetness and is used in natural sweetener blends, beverages, and dietary supplements.
TCS Industries Limited, a Hong Kong-based trading and sourcing company, supplies Monk Fruit Extract standardized to Mogroside V content for food and supplement procurement programs.
> Applications
Natural zero-calorie sweetener
Monk fruit extract is used in beverages, tabletop sweeteners, dairy products, baked goods, and dietary supplements as a natural alternative to artificial sweeteners. Commercial extracts are standardized to 25–55% Mogroside V content. It is often blended with erythritol to provide bulk and a 1:1 sucrose replacement ratio. Li et al. (J Agric Food Chem, 2014, 62:8818–8824) characterized the major mogrosides in S. grosvenorii and their relative sweetness and taste quality.
Clean-label natural flavoring
Monk fruit extract is classified as a natural flavor or natural sweetener in many jurisdictions, enabling “no artificial sweeteners” clean-label claims. It has antioxidant properties attributed to the mogroside triterpenes. It is heat-stable and pH-stable across food processing conditions.
> Sourcing & Supply
TCS Industries Limited supports development, qualification and commercial purchasing discussions for Monk Fruit Extract Mogroside V with buyers in South America, Europe, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico and Canada.
- Evaluation and commercial quantities: 1 kg samples for formulation trials; 25 kg drums for production. Standardized to 25%, 40%, 50%, or 55% Mogroside V content.
- Pallet quantities and production campaigns: repeat supply is coordinated against packaging, lead time, annual demand and destination-market import requirements.
> Quality & Documentation
Key specification parameters include Mogroside V content (25%, 40%, 50%, or 55% by HPLC, grade-dependent), total mogrosides, moisture (≤5.0%), residual solvents, heavy metals (Pb ≤1 ppm, As ≤0.5 ppm), pesticide residues, colour (light yellow to brown powder), and microbial limits. Identity confirmed by HPLC mogroside profile. Higher Mogroside V content correlates with cleaner taste. COA and MSDS are standard.
> Packaging
Monk fruit extract is a light yellow to brown powder, slightly hygroscopic. Standard packaging includes 25 kg fibre drums with double PE liner. Store at controlled room temperature (15–25 °C) in dry, light-protected conditions. Shelf life is typically 24 months. Higher-grade extracts (≥50% Mogroside V) are lighter in colour. Labels and documents are checked before dispatch.
> Pricing & MOQ
Pricing is quoted by specification, packaging and destination. Common commercial discussions use 25 kg bag/drum formats, pallet quantities and production-campaign planning; smaller samples may be reviewed for qualified formulation teams.
> Regulatory & Compounding Context
Monk fruit extract is GRAS in the US (FDA no-objection letters for specific preparations). Approved in the EU as a novel food ingredient (Regulation 2015/2283). Approved in Japan, China, Australia/NZ, and other markets. Not assigned an E-number. No ADI established (JECFA: ADI not specified for monk fruit extract). Clean-label classification varies: “natural sweetener” or “natural flavor” depending on jurisdiction and use level.

> FAQ
What is Mogroside V?
Mogroside V is the primary sweet compound in monk fruit (Siraitia grosvenorii). It is a cucurbitane-type triterpene glycoside with five glucose units. Mogroside V is 250–300× sweeter than sucrose and has a clean sweet taste with minimal off-notes. Commercial monk fruit extracts are standardized to specific Mogroside V percentages.
What documents are available for Monk Fruit Extract Mogroside V orders?
COA and MSDS are standard for commercial discussions. COO, packing list, invoice and other import-support documents can be arranged according to order scope.
Can TCS Industries Limited support Monk Fruit Extract Mogroside V supply to South America?
Yes. We support B2B buyers in Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Uruguay, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, Venezuela, Guyana and Suriname, subject to route and document review.
Do you support Europe, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico and Canada?
Yes. These destinations can be reviewed for project supply, import documents, packaging and logistics planning before quotation.
Why is Monk Fruit Extract blended with Erythritol?
Pure monk fruit extract is extremely potent (250–300× sweet) and difficult to measure accurately at food-use concentrations. Blending with erythritol (0.2 kcal/g, non-cariogenic) provides a 1:1 sucrose replacement product with proper bulk, mouthfeel, and easy measuring. This is the standard commercial format for consumer products.
Is Monk Fruit Extract a novel food in the EU?
Yes. Monk fruit extract requires authorization under EU Novel Food Regulation (2015/2283) because it has no significant history of consumption in the EU prior to 1997. Authorized preparations must comply with the approved specifications. Check the EU Novel Food catalogue for current authorization status and conditions of use.
Can you arrange samples before commercial purchasing?
Samples or evaluation quantities may be reviewed for qualified buyers after target specification, application and destination-market requirements are clarified.
How is Monk Fruit Extract Mogroside V packaged for export?
Packaging is confirmed by quantity and material properties. Typical options include foil bags, HDPE containers, fibre drums, 25 kg bags or palletized export packaging.
Can buyer-defined specifications be reviewed?
Yes. Send the specification, methods, impurity limits and required documents. TCS can review feasibility before confirming quotation and lead time.
What payment terms are normally used?
Standard payment is 100% T/T before dispatch unless a different arrangement has been approved for an established commercial account.
What lead time should buyers expect?
Lead time depends on stock, batch size, document scope and destination. Available stock can move faster; made-to-order or pallet programs require longer planning.
What Mogroside V grades are available?
TCS sources monk fruit extract at 25%, 40%, 50%, and 55% Mogroside V by HPLC. Higher grades have lighter colour, cleaner taste, and higher cost. 25% grade is suitable for applications where colour/flavor can be masked. 50–55% grade is preferred for clear beverages and clean-label products. Specify grade at inquiry.
