Abstract

Initially, the super sweet characteristics of the rhizome of a widely distributed fern (Polypodium vulgare L.) was reported to be due to presence of glycyrrhizin in 1885 by Guignet [1]. However, after lapse of more than 8 decades, Herout and co-workers isolated the actual sweet principles present in P. vulgare as osladin, a steroidal saponin, in 1967 [2] and characterized that in 1971 [3]. The structural formula of osladin is presented in Fig. 12.1.
