| Abstract: | The global
consumption of herbs as medicine, nutraceuticals, food additives,
cosmaceuticals, etc. is increasing rapidly. One of such area of high commercial
potential is non-saccharide sweeteners. Numerous compounds of plant origin are
reported to have different degree of sweetness. In the light of limitations of
currently marketed synthetic sweeteners as well as drastic reduction of
high-calorific sugar consumption especially in developed countries, an area of
low-calorific, non-saccharide natural sweeteners is gaining tremendous
commercial significance. However, in recent past non-saccharide natural
sweeteners gone through several ups and downs, therefore, before
commercialization of non-saccharide natural sweeteners for both pharmaceutical
as well as food industry, it needs to undergo rigorous evaluations. The present
paper is a compilation of information on non-saccharide intense natural
sweeteners derived from plant metabolites. |
