Its structural characterization has been achieved by the extensive 1D ( 1H and 13C), and 2D NMR (COSY, HMQC, HMBC) as well as mass spectral data. Further, hydrolysis studies were performed on rebaudioside O using acid and enzymatic methods to identify aglycone and sugar residues in its structure as well as their configurations. %K Stevia rebaudiana %K diterpene glycoside %K isolation %K structure elucidation %K spectral data %K hydrolysis studies %U http://www.mdpi.com/2218-273X/3/4/733
