Introduction
Gymnemic acids are glycosides isolated from the leaves of Gymnema sylvestre (Asclepiadaceae).
Gymnemic acids like ziziphin and hodulcine are anti-sweet compounds, or sweetness inhibitors.
After chewing the leaves, solutions sweetened with sucrose taste like water.
More than 20 homologues of gymnemic acid are found in the leaves.Gymnemic acid 1 has the
highest anti-sweet properties. It suppresses the sweetness of most of the sweeteners including
intense artificial sweeteners such as aspartame and natural sweeteners such as thaumatin, a
sweet protein. The anti-sweet activity is reversible, but sweetness recovery on the tongue can take
more than 10 minutes.
