WHAT DOES SWEETLY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

sweetly

Sweetness

Sweetness is one of the five basic tastes and is universally regarded as a pleasurable experience. Foods rich in simple carbohydrates such as sugar are those most commonly associated with sweetness, although there are other natural and artificial compounds that are sweet at much lower concentrations, allowing their use as non-caloric sugar substitutes. Examples of foods that may be used as non-sugar sweet substitutes include saccharin, aspartame, xylitol and acesulfame potassium. Other compounds may alter perception of sweetness itself. The chemosensory basis for detecting sweetness, which varies between both individuals and species, has only begun to be understood since the late 20th century. One theoretical model of sweetness is the multipoint attachment theory, which involves multiple binding sites between a sweetness receptor and a sweet substance. Studies indicate that responsiveness to sugars and sweetness has very ancient evolutionary beginnings, being manifest as chemotaxis even in motile bacteria such as E. coli.

Definition of sweetly in the English dictionary

The first definition of sweetly in the dictionary is in a way that has or denotes a pleasant taste like that of sugar. Other definition of sweetly is in such a way as to be free from unpleasant odours. Sweetly is also melodically, pleasantly, smoothly, and gently.
