Abstract

Sweeteners are one of the important additives used in our daily diet. Human beings iike the sweet sensation but at times hesitate to consume sugar-based products because of the amount of caiories and the associated health problems. Therefore the food industry has responded to this demand by producing a varied range of low-calorie artificial sweeteners. Consumers now have the option of using these sweetening agents without being concerned about the extra caiories or the rise in blood sugar levels. Artificial sweeteners are increasingly being used as ingredients in the mainstream diet of consumers especially adolescents.
