Sweeteners

Sweeteners come in many different forms and varieties. Many are known both as brand name sweeteners and also as other names less-known to consumers.

As a group, sweeteners include sugar (both brown sugar and white sugar) and sugar substitutes.

Some of the most popular sweeteners include sugar, crystalline fructose, high fructose corn syrup, and Sucralose, better known as Splenda to consumers.

One of the most common questions about sweeteners is, "Why are there so many different types of sweeteners?"

Choosing a Sweetener

For food, beverage, and nutraceutical manufacturers, there are a few things that might be factors in selecting a sweetener:

• taste
• solubility
• nutritional value
• sensitivity to heat (or cold)
• liquid vs. powder

Most commonly the reason manufacturers select one sweetener over another is to achieve different things with sweeteners.

Perhaps high solubility sweeteners are desirable, or maybe you're specifically looking for an artificial sweetener to achieve certain nutritional goals with a product.
