Non Sacchariferous Super Sweet Plant Species to Combat Sugar and Energy Crisis, Sugar Caused Health Disorders and Environmental Warming

.Abstract
There are 15 super sweet plants spicies in India which are 100-10,000 times sweeter than
sugarcane sucrose (saccharide ) and accumulate non saccharide super sweet principles like proteins,
terpenoids, flavonoids, coumerin etc and their 100 mg provide little or no calorie and sweetness
equivalent to 1kg sucrose. Consequently these are becoming useful to diabetic, cardio vascular,
kidney, obesity and dental caries patients and are reducing their disorders and mortality significantly.
The ingrained higher microbial activities in such plants have been found to deplete CO2 fast
through active carbonic anhydrase enzyme and thereby help in combating environmental warming.
Similarly because of high potency for bio-fuel production and intense sweet principles
accumulation, these plants species appears to be most suitable to solve energy and sucrose crisis
and save about 4.5 million ha land of sugar cane for the use of agriculture, industry and housing
in India.
