Abstract
Intense sweeteners have become more popular and their use has been expanding for many years. Whereas in the past they were chiefly used in diabetic products, with saccharin regarded as a cheap sugar substitute, intense sweeteners are now common ingredients in a range of low-calorie and calorie-reduced foods and beverages. In the course of the last 15 years the new sweeteners acesulfame-K (Sunett®, Hoechst AG) and aspartame (e.g. NutraSweet®, NutraSweet Co., Sanecta®, Holland Sweetener Co. or Aspartil®, Enzymologa S.A.) have been approved in many countries and are being increasingly used in a variety of applications. With the availability of improved sweeteners with a good taste profile, perceived by consumers as safe food ingredients, new and extended fields of application are being developed or will be possible in countries progressing towards approval for additional applications e.g. by implementing the EUC Sweetener Directive.
