Abstract
Intensity-time studies of the sweetness of D-glucose solutions show that there are no major differences between α- and β-anomers. Nor do the α- and β-anomers exhibit any differences in apparent molar volumes. Contrary to previous reports, the anomeric centre of D-fructose may play no direct role in the sweetness response.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
