Acute and two-week effects of neotame, stevia rebaudioside M and sucrose-sweetened biscuits on postprandial appetite and endocrine response in adults with overweight/obesity—a randomised crossover trial from the SWEET consortiumResearch in context [PDF]
Summary: Background: Sweeteners and sweetness enhancers (S&SE) are used to replace energy yielding sugars and maintain sweet taste in a wide range of products, but controversy exists about their effects on appetite and endocrine responses in reduced or ...

Safety of the proposed amendment of the specifications of the food additive E960c(i) or E960c(ii) [PDF]
The EFSA Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings (FAF Panel) provides a scientific opinion on the safety of the proposed amendment of the EU specifications of Rebaudioside M produced via enzyme‐catalysed bioconversion (E960c(i) or E 960c(ii)), to include

The Neural and Perceptual Effects of Stevia During Retronasal Occlusion [PDF]
Neural activity to stevia decreases with retronasal occlusion via nose clip. Insula tracks pleasantness but not with the nose clip on. In conclusion, blocking retronasal pathways reduces stevia taste responses, supporting their role in taste perception and enhancing stevia product palatability.

Comparative study of rebaudioside A and rebaudioside Aα: physicochemical properties and in vivo metabolism. [PDF]
Stevioside (ST) and rebaudioside A (Reb A) are 250 times sweeter than sucrose, but their bitterness and low water solubility limit their application. Rebaudioside Aα (Reb Aα) was synthesized using dextransucrase.

Discovery of Novel Minor Steviol Glycoside from the <i>Stevia rebaudiana</i>: Structural Characterization and Proposed Biosynthetic Pathway of Rebaudioside <i>D17</i>. [PDF]
A novel steviol glycoside, Rebaudioside D17, was identified from the leaf extract of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni. This compound features a rare β-1→4 glycosidic linkage between two glucose units at the C19 position, distinguishing it from its ...

A Near Telomere‐To‐Telomere Genome Assembly of Coffea arabica (Mundo Novo) Provides Insights Into Its Secondary Metabolism [PDF]
ABSTRACT Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica) dominates global coffee production, accounting for over 60% of the world's coffee trade. The Mundo Novo cultivar, predominantly grown in Yunnan, China, represents a significant germplasm resource. However, the absence of a high‐quality reference genome has hindered comprehensive genetic research and in‐depth ...

Identification of sucrose synthase from Micractinium conductrix to favor biocatalytic glycosylation
Sucrose synthase (SuSy, EC 2.4.1.13) is a unique glycosyltransferase (GT) for developing cost-effective glycosylation processes. Up to now, some SuSys derived from plants and bacteria have been used to recycle uridine 5′-diphosphate glucose in the ...
