Unlike Reb A, RP44 is not a sweetener; rather, it is a sweetness enhancer. A sweetness enhancer imparts no sweet taste of its own when used in a product. Sweetness enhancers act by amplifying the existing sweet taste of caloric sweeteners such as sugar or high fructose corn syrup. Redpoint believes this will enable the development of food and beverage products that require reduced amounts of caloric sweeteners while still retaining the “clean sweet taste” associated with a fully sugared product. The Company has filed patent applications covering the sweetness enhancing effect of RP44.
