Is anyone still follwoing this company? Just read about them in this article: newscientist.com An alternative approach is under investigation at Senomyx in San Diego, California. The company has developed a tasteless molecule called S6973 that does not activate the sweet receptor directly, but changes it in a way that makes it bind more tightly to sucrose. "This will cause the sugar molecule to stay on the receptor maybe two times as long," says Grant DuBois, a flavour chemist at The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta, Georgia, which has financed research at Senomyx. "You can take a beverage that may normally contain 10 per cent sugar and make it with 5 per cent sugar, and it tastes the same." ********** S6973 received its Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) determination in October. finance.yahoo.com
