The obtained data indicated that the essential mainly lutein and β-carotene were found lipijoje, respectively 10223.30 and 6450.00 mg 100 g-1. The analysis of saccharides established that stevia leaves accumulate the biggest amount of fructose, glucose and mannose were less.The highest concentrations of them were in stevia leaves than in stems.
