Sweeter alternatives

Article Abstract:

Artificial sugar substitutes with better properties than their predecessors are now emerging in the US market. Compared to their synthetic forerunners, such as saccharin, cyclamate, these new sweeteners are expected to be less affected by concerns regarding their safety, heat and pH stability, and flexibility as a preservative and flavor enhancer. These new sugar alternatives include Nutrinova's sulfame-K, a potassium salt that is 200 times sweeter than sugar but supposedly does not accumulate in the human body; Tate & Lyle PLC's sucralose, marketed as Splenda; acesulfame-K from Hoechst AG, which was recently approved for use in liquid-based beverages by the US FDA; and Monsanto's Neotame, which is 10,000 times sweeter than sugar and has no calories.
