Sweetener is actually a substance that sweetens food and is widely used in food industry. At present, there are many kinds of sweeteners, which can be divided into natural sweeteners and synthetic sweeteners according to their sources. According to chemical properties, it can be divided into sugar sweeteners and non-sugar sweeteners. Sugar alcohol sweeteners are food additives that sweeten food or feed.
Among them, sugar alcohol synthetic sweeteners have the characteristics of low calorie, good taste and high safety. Moreover, it is not easy to cause dental caries, and it will not affect the blood sugar value as long as it is eaten reasonably. At present, the main varieties of sugar alcohol synthetic sweeteners are sorbitol, maltitol, xylitol, isomaltol and so on, which are typical food additives.
Extraction processing
Inulin, also known as stevia rebaudiana, is mainly composed of stevioside, which was originally extracted from the leaves of a compositae plant in Latin America. It is a pure natural sweetener, which is safe even for diabetics. In addition, xylitol is also a safe and healthy sweetener, which is used in chewing gum and used as a sugar substitute abroad.
It has the sweetness similar to sucrose, and can also meet the basic needs of the general public for sweetness. However, xylitol can't be eaten too much, and the influencing factor of synthesis (ethanol), some studies show that the solubility of aspartame in water is generally small, about 65438 0% (25℃), but with the increasing ethanol content in the solvent, the solubility of aspartame gradually increases. When the solubility of aspartame in ethanol aqueous solution reaches the peak, the solubility of aspartame will gradually decrease with the continuous addition of ethanol.
