Methods for making high intensity sweeteners

A method of producing Compound 1 having the structure of:

• the method comprising:
• contacting mogroside IIIE with a first enzyme capable of catalyzing a production of Compound 1 from mogroside IIIE;
• wherein the first enzyme is one or more of UDP glycosyltransferases, cyclomaltodextrin glucanotransferases (CGTases), glycotransferases, dextransucrases, cellulases, β-glucosidases, amylases, transglucosidases, pectinases, and dextranases;
• wherein the CGTases comprise an amino acid sequence having at least 90% sequence identity to any one of SEQ ID NOs:
• 1, 3, 78-82, 85-87, 89-92, 94, 95, 98, 101, and 154;
• wherein the dextransucrases comprise an amino acid sequence having at least 90% sequence identity to any one of SEQ ID NOs:
• 103, 106-109, 156, 159-162, and 896;
• or
• wherein the dextranase comprises an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
• 110.
