Polypodium glycyrrhiza steroidal saponin from

Interestingly novel sweet-tasting saponins based on the cycloartane (from Abrus precatorius), oleanane (from Periandra dulcis), secodammarane (from Pterocarya paliurus) and steroid saponin types (from Polypodium glycyrrhiza) have been reported [226, 227]. These compounds which have been demonstrated safe were rated by a human taste panel as about 50 and 100 times sweeter than 2% sucrose respectively [227]. ... 

Another sweet-tasting saponin, osladin (17), occurs at rather low concentrations (about 0.03%) in the roots of the fern Polypodium vulgare (Hodge and Inglett, 1974). Similar steroidal glycosides have been isolated from the rhizomes of Polypodium glycyrrhiza (Kim et al., 1988 Kim and Kinghom, 1989). The major intensely sweet compound of that plant is polypodoside A, a 26-0-a-L-rhamnopyranosyl-pol-...
