The Future of High Intensity Sweeteners in China

Sweeteners are the food additives used to sweeten food products, i.e., the food additives listed as sweeteners in China’s national standard GB2760-1996, hygienic standards for uses of food additives and dietary supplements. 20 sweeteners in total have been permitted to be used in food in China by the end of 2007. There are totally 13 HIS listed in GB 2760 allowed to be used as food additives or dietary supplements by the end of 2007. Most of these HIS are 100 or more times sweeter than sugar except cyclamate and calcium cyclamate, which are both 30~80 times sweeter than sugar. In this report, analysis has been focused on the following HIS, which are the major categories in China:
- Aspartame
- Ace-K
- Saccharin
- Cyclamate
- Sucralose
- Stevioside

As the major competitors of HIS, sugar and sugar alcohols in China are briefly introduced from the aspects of production, demand and trade.
