Intense sweeteners are many times sweeter than sugar which means they can be used in much smaller amounts. They are classed as food additives and added to foods to replace sugar to provide low or lower energy/kilojoule foods or foods that are reduced in sugar or sugar-free. Some intense sweeteners occur naturally in some plants and can be extracted to produce a highly concentrated extract. Examples are steviol glycosides extracted from the South American plant "Stevia rebaudiana" Bertoni(stevia) and monk fruit extract(also called luo han guo extract) which is derived from the fruit of a perennial vine native to southern China. 3, record 1, English, - intense%20sweetener

Procédé de reproduction, surtout utilisé en Chine, où il fut connu dès le début de notre ère, et qui s'applique à des motifs, caractères ou dessins, gravés en creux, généralement dans la pierre. La méthode la plus répandue consiste à étendre sur l'œuvre à reproduire une feuille de papier légèrement humectée d'une solution d'agar-agar pour augmenter sa plasticité, en la tamponnant de manière qu'elle pénètre légèrement dans les creux, en laissant le papier en place après évaporation. L'opération se fait aussi au moyen d'un tampon d'étoffe fine ou d'un maillet recouvert de cuir souple, si bien que les parties réservées en creux apparaissent en blanc sur fond noir. 2, record 3, French, - estampage

In Chinese calligraphy, it is a style that falls somewhere between the regular script and cursive script. It is not as square as the official script, nor as rounded as the seal script. It is perhaps best described as a variation of the regular script style. It was created by Liu Teh-sheng of the Eastern Han(25-220 A. D.) dynasty. 1, record 9, English, - Hsing%20Shu

En calligraphie chinoise, style qui se situe entre l'écriture régulière et l'écriture cursive. Elle n'est pas aussi carrée que l'écriture des scribes, mais elle n'est pas non plus aussi ronde que l'écriture des sceaux. Les traits sont liés et certaines simplifications sont admises. En somme le calligraphe relie les différents éléments du caractère en recourant à une sorte d'exécution continue au cours de laquelle le pinceau ne quitte pas la feuille. Cette écriture a été créée par Liv Teh-sheng sous la dynastie des Han orientaux (25-220 av. J.-C.). 1, record 9, French, - Hsing%20Shu
