Most aspire to living in excess and acceptance of sweet foods plays an important role. Of sugar, which is one of the materials used to impart a sweet taste, has the disadvantage of being associated with a number of issues related to adverse health. As a result, many hours of research are invested in trying to produce low and no calorie sweeteners and change the time profile of these to mimic the sugar.
Since the discovery of taste receptors and the recent advances in the cultivation of taste bud cells primary, there has been significant progress in the field of sweeteners and their perception. Using this knowledge, some research groups have directed their efforts towards improving the sweetness, through additives that result in a net reduction of calories. The symposium was organized to highlight the current state of science and the recent report of significant findings in biology, chemistry, and Psychophysics of sweeteners and sweetness.
The book will follow the seven sessions of the symposium as separate chapters:

The book will follow the seven sessions of the symposium as separate chapters:
- Structural Studies of the Sweetener Receptor,
- Modeling of the Sweetener Receptor,
- Sweet Taste Transduction,
- Quantifying the Responses of Sweet-Sensitive Taste Bud Cells,
- Modulation of Sweet-Sensitive Taste Bud Cell Signaling,
- Advances in the Discovery and Commercial Development of Synthetic Non-Caloric Sweeteners,
- Advances in the Discovery and Commercial Development of Natural Non-Caloric Sweeteners.
