Abstract

Diterpenoids are 20 carbon terpenes (four C5 units) belong to secondary metabolites, associated with defense activities in plants. Some of the diterpenoids are super sweet in taste with negligible or zero calorie energy and ingrained with antioxidant, antifungal and antibacterial attributes. The following diterpenoids – super sweet principles have been identified so far.
