Steviol glycosides enhance pancreatic beta-cell function and taste sensation by potentiation of TRPM5 channel activity

Nature Communications, 2017
Steviol glycosides are sweet-tasting compounds isolated from a South American shrub and are increasingly used as sweeteners in foods and beverages. Philippaertet al. demonstrate that steviol glycosides potentiate Ca2+-dependent TRPM5 activity and promote

Integrated metabolite profiling and transcriptome analysis unraveling mechanism of RC catabolism in Paenarthrobacter ilicis CR5301

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Steviol glycosides are ideal sweeteners that are widely used in food, medicine, and cosmetics. Rebaudioside C (RC) is considered to be the third most abundant steviol glycoside, which has a bitter aftertaste that limits its application.
