    Abstract:
    To improve the taste profile of glycyrrhizin (1, the saponin of licorice root, relative sweetness to sucrose: x170), a variety of 3-O-glycosides of glycyrrhetic acid were prepared and their sweetness evaluated. It was found that a significant enhancement of sweetness was observed for the 3-O-beta-D-xyloside and the 3-O-beta-D-glucuronide (MGGR). Especially, MGGR had a high sweetness relative to sucrose; x941, and would appear to be a new potent sweetener.
