This is a drawn structure of sweetener molecule Rebaudioside M.

Cargill and DSM have launched a joint venture to scale up production of nonartificial, zero-calorie sweeteners. The venture, called Avansya, will use fermentation to produce molecules such as the glycosides rebaudioside M and D, found in the stevia plant. Cargill will provide the feedstock and a fermentation facility being built in Blair, Neb. DSM will contribute strain development, fermentation expertise, and customer relationships.
