Abstract
Abstract A group of novel dihydrochalcone compounds represented by the formula ##SPC1## Wherein R is a lower alkyl or from one to three carbon atoms inclusive, n is an integer of from one to three inclusive and M is a physiologically acceptable metal cation, are disclosed. These materials are useful as dietetic sweeteners.
