  • Recombinant Production of Steviol Glycosides
    Publication number: 20140329281
    Abstract: Recombinant microorganisms, plants, and plant cells are disclosed that have been engineered to express recombinant genes encoding UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs). Such microorganisms, plants, or plant cells can produce steviol glycosides, e.g., Rebaudioside A and/or Rebaudioside D, which can be used as natural sweeteners in food products and dietary supplements.
    Type: Application
    Filed: August 8, 2012
    Publication date: November 6, 2014
    Inventors: Jens Houghton-Larsen, Paula Hicks, Michael Naesby, Thomas Tange Ostergaard, Jorgen Hansen, Michael Mikkelsen Dalgaard, Esben Hansen Halkjaer, Ernesto Simon, Sabina de Andrade Periera Tavares
  • PRODUCTION OF STEVIOL GLYCOSIDES IN MICROORGANISMS
    Publication number: 20130171328
    Abstract: Recombinant microorganisms, plants, and plant cells are disclosed that have been engineered to express novel recombinant genes encoding steviol biosynthetic enzymes and UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs). Such microorganisms, plants, or plant cells can produce steviol or steviol glycosides, e.g., rubusoside or Rebaudioside A, which can be used as natural sweeteners in food products and dietary supplements.
