Sucrononic acid explained

Sucrononic acid is a guanidine derivative artificial sweetener. It is one of the most potent sweeteners known, with a sweetness 200,000 times that of sucrose (table sugar).^[1]

It has not been approved for use in food.^[2]

Sucrononic acid is an artificial compound which is part of the family of guanilic acids, guanidines combined with acetic acid, which are very sweet:

• Lugduname (230,000x at equivalent concentration)
• Carrelame (200,000x at equivalent concentration)
• Bernardame (188,000x at equivalent concentration)
• Sucrooctate (162,000x at equivalent concentration)

BIMU8 is a structural isomer of Sucrononic acid.^[3]
