The theoretical part of the diploma thesis deals with cultivation of the plant Stevia rebaudiana. This plant is 300x sweeter than sucrose. It is often used as a compensation for sugar sweetener, suitable for diabetics and people who suffer from overweight. There is processed the characteristics of the plant, botanical description, conditions of cultivation and chemical composition. There are described the methods of determination of steviol glycosides. The practical part elaborates on a sensorical analysis. This analysis has two parts. The first part is the evaluation of stevia concentrates with the flavour of aronia, sour cherry and beetroot and stevia powder in 10 milk products bought in supermarkets. The second part deals with the evaluation of black tea sweetened with few different easily available sorts of sweetening products. The currently valid legislative in the area of the Czech Republic allows the food industry to use steviol glycosides of high purity under the name E960. The use of the plant stevia or its parts as food isn't enabled.
