Abstract
Racemic hernandulcin, a sesquiterpene, possesses a sweetness intensity about three orders of magnitude greater than that of sucrose. It is non-mutagenic and non-toxic under conventional assay procedures. In addition to attractive utility in foods, beverages and pharmaceutical compositions, it affords a low-cariogenic, essentially non-nutritive sweetening agent for inclusion in oral hygiene products.
