Artificial sweetening agents: These are the substances which are non-nutritive in nature and used as substitutes for sugar in foods and beverages.
Examples:
Aspartame: Aspartame is 100 times as sweet as cane sugar. Its use is limited to cold foods and soft drinks because it is unstable at cooking temperature. Saccharin: It is about 550 times as sweet as cane sugar. Its use is of great value to diabetic persons and people who need to control intake of calories.
