What is the sweetness of the sweetener

Introduction: sweetener is a kind of food additive that can endow soft drinks with sweetness What is the sweetness of sweetener? Sweetness is a complex physical, chemical and physiological process that sweetener molecules stimulate taste buds The sweetness is called sweetness, which is an important index of sweetener Sweetness can not be measured by physical and chemical methods, but can only be judged by people 's taste In order to compare the sweetness of sweeteners, sucrose is generally selected as the standard, and the sweetness of other sweeteners is the relative sweetness obtained by comparing with it There are two methods to determine the relative sweetness: one is to prepare the sweetener into the lowest concentration that can be perceived as sweetness, which is called limit concentration method; the other is to prepare the sweetener into a solution with the same concentration as sucrose, and then compare the sweetness of the sweetener with the sucrose solution as the standard, which is called relative sweetness method Common sweeteners include sucrose, saccharin, cyclamate, aspartame, AK sugar, stevia, sucralose and neotame Their corresponding sweetness is 1, 450, 40-60, 200, 200, 600, 7000-13000 The sweetness of sweeteners is affected by many factors, including concentration, temperature and medium Generally speaking, the higher the concentration of sweetener, the higher the sweetness, but the sweetness of most sweeteners is not the same with the increase of concentration The sweetness of most sweeteners is affected by temperature, and usually decreases with the increase of temperature For example, the sweetness of 5% fructose solution is 147 at 5 ℃, 128.5 at 18 ℃, 100 at 40 ℃, 79.5 at 60 ℃ The medium also has an effect on, under 40 ℃, the sweetness of fructose is higher than that of sucrose, and the sweetness of both is almost the same in lemon juice Today's small edition of Baibai safety net gives a brief introduction to the sweetness of sweeteners If you want to know more about food sweeteners, food additives and food safety, please continue to pay attention to our website and hope that today's content can help you Editor in charge: sun Dianwei
