Abstract
More than 170 million Americans consume low‐calorie foods and beverages. The interest of the consumer in low‐calorie foods that contain alternative sweeteners has grown. Currently, non‐nutritive high‐intensity sweeteners, aspartame and sucralose have been approved for use in the United States. Another sweetener, alitame, used in other countries such as Australia and China has not been granted approval for use in the States. The paper reviews the stability and degradation products of high‐intensity sweeteners, aspartame, alitame, and sucralose.Keywords
