Identification
Common NameHernandulcin
ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionHernandulcin is a constituent of Lippia dulcis leaves and flowers. Natural sweetener more than 1000 times sweeter than sucrose Hernandulcin is a sesquiterpene with the molecular formula C15H24O2. By slightly modifying the compound, researchers have identified the two chemical groups which caused the sweet taste - the carbonyl group, and the hydroxyl group. The structure of hernandulcin is very simple, and after a panel of volunteers tasted hernandulcin, it was determined that it was 1,000 times sweeter than sugar. Hernandulcin also has a bitter aftertaste, and does not cause tooth decay, which would make it a good candidate for a mouthwash. Hernandulcin is an intensely sweet chemical compound gained from the chiefly Mexican and South American plant Lippia dulcis.
