据了解，此次申请是由SweeGen, Inc.提出，该种方法是以使用酶加工助剂（ UGT-A ）的酶转化过程为基础的，该酶加工助剂来源于巴斯德毕赤酵母的转基因菌株。
部分原文报道如下：
The Code permits the use of Reb D and other steviol glycosides as food additives in various food categories subject to prescribed limits and also imposes identity and purity specifications with which Reb D and other steviol glycosides must comply. These current specifications do not allow for SweeGen's production method. SweeGen's application seeks to amend Schedule 3 - Identity and Purity to include a reference to this new production method. This will allow the use of SweeGen's Reb D in accordance with the Code's existing permissions and limits for currently permitted steviol glycosides.
