Abstract
Abstract This disclosure is concerned with a variety of methods for preparing various L-hexose monosaccharides and organoleptic testing in regard to the sweetness of these saccharides. The disclosure is further concerned with the use of these L-hexose monosaccharides as sweetening agents in a wide variety of foodstuffs and other edible formulations. The L-hexose monosaccharides disclosed include L-glucose, L-allose, L-fructose, L-gulose, L-galactose, L-altrose, L-idose, L-talose, L-tagatose and L-psicose.
