Mogrosides
Mogrosides are natural sweeteners that can be obtained from various cucurbits and monk fruit . The latter is used for the commercial extraction of the mogrosides.
The mogrosides comprise a number of structurally related substances that represent glycosides of the mogrol :
- Mogroside II A 1
- Mogroside II B
- 7-oxomogroside II E
- 11-oxomogroside II A 1
- Mogroside III A 2
- 11-Deoxymogroside III
- 11-oxomogroside IV A
- Mogroside V
- 7-oxomogroside V
- 11-oxomogroside V
- Mogroside VI
The substances belong chemically to the triterpene saponins and are related to the cucurbitacins . Plant biosynthesis uses at least five families of enzymes: squalene epoxidases, triterpenoid synthases , epoxide hydrolases, cytochrome p450 enzymes and UDP glucosyltransferases .
Mogrosid V (Esgosid) has a sweetness of 250.
