AB The food industry has currently shown great interest in alternative sweeteners to sugarswith the aim of producing healthier products. In light of this, steviol glycosides are naturallow-caloric sweeteners present in Stevia rebaudiana, which have additionally been described asbioactive components with potential therapeutic properties. In this work, a green method for theextraction of steviol glycosides from stevia leaves was optimized by applying a factorial screeningdesign of five variables (time, temperature, agitation, grinding, and sample–solvent ratio) and thesubsequent response surface design of Box-Behnken. The optimized extraction method allows for therecovery of stevia sweeteners in a simple and e cient manner by using tap water as the extractant,without the application of an auxiliary energy source to reduce costs, thus representing an interestingstrategy for their industrial-scale production.
