Glucosubstituented diterpenoid compounds analogous to stevioside, rebaudosides C and A, steviolmonoside and steviolbioside but having their gluco units substituted with simple monoglycosidic polar groups and optionally having their C.sub.19 carboxyls as simple esters are disclosed. These materials are sweet and do not degrade under mammalian GI tract conditions.

Glucosubstituented diterpenoid sweeteners

Dihydrochalcones of the formula ##STR1## are disclosed wherein X is H or OH and R is a lower alkyl. These materials are useful as sweeteners for edibles. A process for preparing these compounds using a novel intermediate is disclosed as are acid and base neutralization products of the subject dihydrochalcones.

Flavonone precursors for alpha amino acid dihydrochalcones

Sulfamo dihydrochalcones of the formula ##STR1## are disclosed wherein M.sup.+ is a physiologically acceptable cation, X is H or OH, and R is a lower alkyl. These materials are useful as sweeteners for edibles. They may be prepared by sulfonating the corresponding amino dihydrochalcone using, for example, catechol sulfate.
