“…The discovery of the human sweet taste receptor succeeded in the early 2000s ( Li et al, 2002 , Montmayeur et al, 2001 , Nelson et al, 2001 ), providing a base for advanced prediction models. Lately, there have been several studies describing the prediction of sweetness for example by quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) models ( Chéron et al, 2017 , Goel et al, 2018 , Yang et al, 2011 ) or by machine learning methods ( Zhong, Chong, Nie, Yan, & Yuan, 2013 ). In addition, in silico methods based on one of the binding sites were applied, for example molecular docking and homology models.…”
