Lactisole (na-PMP) is an inhibitor of the glucose-sensing receptor

N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine (NAG) is a monosaccharide derivative of glucose. It is released by the action of O-GlcNAcase, in mammalian systems from proteins that have been post-translationally modified with O-GlcNAc.

Acid Phosphatase (ACP), Sweet Potato (Non-prostatic acid phosphatase, ACP, Orthophosphoric-monoester phosphohydrolase acid optimum, Acid Phosphatase, AcPase, Apase) is a biological material or organic compound suitable for life sciences research.

D-Sorbitol (Sorbitol) is a polyhydric alcohol with about half the sweetness of sucrose, occurring naturally and also produced synthetically from glucose. Formerly used as a diuretic, it may still be used as a laxative and in irrigating solutions for certain surgical procedures. It is also utilized in various manufacturing processes, as a pharmaceutical aid, and in several research applications.

Aspartame (SC-18862), an artificial, non-carbohydrate sweetener, is aspartyl-phenylalanine-1-methyl ester.

Saccharin (O-Sulfobenzimide) is a flavoring agent and non-nutritive sweetener.

Acesulfame potassium is a non-nutritive sweetener.

Sucralose is a non-nutritive artificial sweetener and sugar substitute that stimulates appetite in rodents by activating a conserved neural fasting response.

A natural, noncaloric sweetener with a potency 300 times more than that of regular sucrose. Exhibits transepithelial p-aminohippurate transport via organic anion transport system interference.

Rebaudioside D is a potential sweetener. Rebaudioside D shows similar stability when exposed to simulate stomach and small intestine fluids, with susceptibility to hydrolytic degradation by enteric bacteria collected from the cecum.

Neotame (HSDB 7965) is a white-colored, dipeptide methyl ester, which is found to be a highly potent and non-nutritive sweetener or flavour enhancer and hence finds applications in a variety of foods.

Isomalt (Palatinitol) is a mixture of 1,6-mannitol glucopyranoside and 1,6-sorbitol glucopyranoside

Diammonium Glycyrrhizinate (Glycyrrhizin) , an extensively used anti-inflammatory agent, is isolated from the licorice root. It is metabolized to glycyrrhetinic acid, which inhibits 11-β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and other enzymes involved in the metabolism of corticosteroids. Therefore, glycyrrhizic acid, the main and sweet component of licorice, has been studied for its ability to cause hypermineralocorticoidism with potassium loss and sodium retention, edema, increased blood pressure, as well as inhibited the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.

meso-Erythritol (Phycitol) is a four-carbon sugar that is found in algae, fungi, and lichens. It is twice as sweet as sucrose and can be used as a coronary vasodilator.

Xylitol (Ribitol) is a five-carbon sugar alcohol derived from XYLOSE by reduction of the carbonyl group. It is as sweet as sucrose and used as a noncariogenic sweetener.

Umbelliferone (7-Hydroxycoumarin) is found in anise. Umbelliferone occurs widely in plants including Angelica species Phytoalexin of infected sweet potat. It has been reported to have antioxidant properties.

L-Gulose is an unnatural monosaccharide. L-Gulose is the putative furanose form of L-sorbosone that exists as a syrup with a sweet taste. It is an L-hexose sugar and an intermediate in the biosynthesis of L-Ascorbate (vitamin C).

Xanthoxylin (Xanthoxyline) is a borneol and camphor tasting compound and can be found in a number of food items such as fats and oils, herbs and spices, pomegranate, and sweet orange. Derivatives of Xanthoxylin have antispasmodic activity.

Dihydroactinidiolide (R-(-)Dihydro actinidiolide)is avolatileterpene. It has a sweet,tea-likeodorand is used as a fragrance.

δ-Decalactone is found in nonfat dry milks and fruits and with a sweet taste.

(±)-Leucine (DL-2-Aminmo-4-methylvalerianic acid) can be found in Green bell peppers, Green zucchinis, Italian sweet red peppers, and Red bell peppers.

D-(+)-Xylose (Wood sugar) is an aldopentose - a monosaccharide containing five carbon atoms and an aldehyde functional group. It has chemical formula C5H10O5 and is 40% as sweet as sucrose. Xylose is also found in mucopolysaccharides of connective tissue and sometimes in the urine. Xylose is the first sugar added to serine or threonine residues during proteoglycan type O-glycosylation. Therefore xylose is involved in the biosythetic pathways of most anionic polysaccharides such as heparan sulphate and chondroitin sulphate. In medicine, xylose is used to test for malabsorption by administering a xylose solution to the patient after fasting. If xylose is detected in the blood and/or urine within the next few hours, it has been absorbed by the intestines. Xylose is said to be one of eight sugars which are essential for human nutrition, the others being galactose, glucose, mannose, N-acetylglucosamine, N-acetylgalactosamine, fucose, and sialic acid. . Xylose in the urine is a biomarker for the consumption of apples and other fruits.

Arabinose (DL-Arabinose), also known as (+/-)-arabinose or aloe sugar. Arabinose has been primarily detected in feces. Within the cell, Arabinose is primarily located in the cytoplasm. Arabinose exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. Outside of the human body, Arabinose can be found in sweet basil and tamarind.

L-Arabinitol (L-(-)-Arabitol) is a potential biomarker for the comsuption of the food products such as sweet potato, deerberry, moth bean. L-Arabinitol is associated with Alzheimer's disease and ribose-5-phosphate isomerase deficiency.
