Artificial Sweeteners Replaces Table Sugar In China-Ken Research
High-intensity sweeteners are used as sugar alternatives due to their sweetness with zero
calories than sugar. China is the large sweetener-producing country in the world and is facing
the overcapacity of high intensity sweeteners (HIS). High intensity sweeteners (HIS) are
aspartame, sucralose, saccharin, etc. Chinese consumption and demand for HIS is very large
and will increase in the future with the growing population and government’s intention to
introduce policies for sugar tax. It was observed that the overcapacity of HIS industry in
China may reduce due to the reduced sugar consumption by levying sugar taxes.
High-intensity sweeteners (HIS) are a diverse set of compounds which shares an important
feature of sweetness much sweeter than sucrose (table sugar). HIS is noncaloric and
noncariogenic and most of the HIS consists of acesulfame K, aspartame, cyclamate,
saccharin, and sucralose. These are artificial sweeteners made up of chemical synthesis.
There is a lot of demand for matured HIS such as cyclamate, saccharin, and aspartame but
consumption of acesulfame K, sucralose, and stevia extract is growing in China.
Stevia is one of the fastest-growing new substitutes of sugar which consists of artificial
chemical sweeteners along with naturally derived non-caloric sweeteners. New regulations
are approved for various sweeteners across the globe that has led to a promising growth in
this market. There are two main segments in natural artificial sweeteners are known as
nutritive and non-nutritive. Nutritive sweeteners include sugar and high fructose corn syrup
(HFCS); non-nutritive sweeteners include zero-calorie High Intensity Sweeteners such as
aspartame, sucralose, and stevia.
