Abstract

Nonnutritive sweeteners (NNS) are a class of food additives used by the food industry worldwide to combat diseases such as weight gain and type 2 diabetes by maintaining their sweet taste while maintaining low or no calorie intake. Artificial sweeteners have been widely used in food-production industry for their advantages of supernal sweetness, no nutrition and low calorie. However, the safety and effectiveness of artificial sweeteners remain controversial. This paper introduces the metabolic characteristics and detection methods of five common artificial sweeteners, including Acesulfame-K, aspartame, neotame, saccharin and sucralose. Suggestions on the development of artificial sweeteners were put forward to provide reference for further rational development and safe use of artificial sweeteners.
