Abstract

Only during last century, the use of zero/very low calorie natural non saccharide super sweet (NSSS) principles cropped up in the mind of human being after visualizing serious health disorders cause by most popular calorie rich sucrose and lethal effects of zero/very low calorie synthetic sweeteners like asulfame K, sucralose, saccharin etc.
