Lugduname (from lat.Lugdunum forLyon) is one of the most potentsweetening agents known.[1] Lugduname has been estimated to be between 220,000 and 300,000 times as sweet assucrose (table sugar), with estimates varying between studies. It was developed at theUniversity of Lyon, France in 1996.[1] Lugduname is part of a family of potent sweeteners which containacetic acid functional groups attached toguanidine.[2][3]
