Abstract

Glucosubstituented diterpenoid compounds analogous to stevioside, rebaudosides C and A, steviolmonoside and steviolbioside but having their gluco units substituted with simple monoglycosidic polar groups and optionally having their C.sub.19 carboxyls as simple esters are disclosed. These materials are sweet and do not degrade under mammalian GI tract conditions.
