Fruit flies help humans to find new alternative sweeteners

With the help of fruit flies, Australian researchers are making progress towards finding new sweeteners for human consumption. They have exploited fruit flies’ highly developed sense of taste to select sweeteners with the greatest potential from an ever increasing pool of synthetic sweeteners developed in laboratories.

Among the 19 sugars tested, fruit flies favoured gentiobiitol, a reduced -glucobiose, βthe most. Future work will involve testing human response to gentiobiitol to see whether it could potentially be used in a novel sweetener.
