Lugdunam (from the Latin " Lugdunum " for Lyon ) is the most potent sweetener known to date . It has a sweetness that is between 220,000 and 300,000 times that of sugar ( sucrose ). Lugdunam was developed in 1996 by chemists from the University of Lyon . It belongs to the sweetener family of guanidine carboxylic acids , derivatives of guanidine with an acetic acid residue.

Further derivatives of this sweetener family are:

Carrelam (200,000 times sweetening power )
Sucrononate (200,000 times sweetening power)
Bernardam (188,000 times sweetening power)
Sucrodiphenate (170,000 times sweetening power)
Sucrooctate (162,000 times sweetening power)
