Abstract: This invention relates to a sweetener containing an enzymatically modified stevia composition having improved sweetness quality, including 90 wt % or more of steviol glycoside, wherein only glycosylation is carried out using cyclodextrin as a glycosylation material of a stevia extract (steviol glycoside), without a purification process using an existing porous adsorbent resin (aromatic, styrene type), to thus produce enzymatically modified stevia, which can be utilized as an ingredient and a reagent for sweeteners, flavor enhancers and flavor modifiers for a variety of confections, drinks (including alcoholic beverages), foods and food products, thereby providing an enzymatically modified stevia sweetener and products thereof.
