%X <span>Recent studies on the preparation of porous nano</span><span>-</span><span>materials revealed that the use of kaurane diterpenoids molecules from steviol as biological template favors the obtaining of metallic oxides with tubular morphology as nanorods or nanofibers. In this sense, the present contribution shows an analysis</span><span> </span><span>in order to understand how these glycosides of kaurane diterpenoids control the nucleation and growth of inorganic materials favoring the obtaining of these morphologies. For this purpose, it was necessary to carry out studies of the leaf aqueous extract of <i>Stevia rebaudiana</i> by HRTEM, FTIR and <sup>1</sup>H</span><span>-</span><span>NMR.</span><span></span>
