Extracts of Thladiantha grosvenorii fruits, Stevia rebaudiana leaves, and Abrus precatorius leaves were investigated using Mongolian gerbil electrophysiological and conditioned taste aversion procedures, which were designed to respond to sucrose. A close correlation was observed between extracts of these sweet plants known to contain sweet principles and those extracts indicated as being sweet by a combination of these gerbil bioassays. The methods employed seem to be suitable for use in aiding the purification of highly sweet compounds of plant origin.
利用蒙古沙鼠的电生理和条件性味觉厌恶程序，对罗汉果果实、甜叶菊叶和相思树叶的提取物进行了研究，这些程序旨在对蔗糖做出反应。在这些已知含有甜味成分的甜味植物提取物与通过这些沙鼠生物测定组合表明为甜的提取物之间，观察到了密切的相关性。所采用的方法似乎适用于辅助纯化植物来源的高甜度化合物。
