Natural & Zero-Calorie Sweeteners
- Allulose (~70% sweetness of sugar): Low-calorie sugar substitute for beverages, bakery, ice cream, and confectionery. Supports browning in baking and provides a sugar-like taste.
- Stevia (200–300× sweetness): Plant-derived, heat-stable, ideal for sugar-free drinks, tabletop sweeteners, and diet foods. Blends well with Ace-K for a natural taste profile.
Artificial Sweeteners
- Aspartame (E951, ~200× sweetness): Best for soft drinks, dairy products, and tabletop sweeteners. Heat-sensitive, suitable for cold applications.
- Sucralose (~600× sweetness): Heat-stable, suitable for baking, beverages, and sugar-free products. Compatible with other sweeteners.
- Acesulfame Potassium (Ace-K, E950, ~200× sweetness): Often blended with aspartame; used in beverages, dairy, and sugar-free confectionery.
- Sodium Saccharin (E954, 300–500× sweetness): Soft drinks, tabletop sweeteners, and processed foods; cost-effective.
- Sodium Cyclamate (E952, 30–50× sweetness): Typically combined with other sweeteners for beverages and candies.
Sugar Alcohols / Polyols
- Xylitol (1× sweetness): Tooth-friendly, used in sugar-free chewing gum, candies, and dental products.
- Maltitol (0.9× sweetness): Sugar-free chocolates, candies, bakery; low glycemic impact and moisture-retaining.
- Sorbitol (0.6× sweetness): Humectant and stabilizer for candies, chewing gum, and toothpaste.
- Isomalt (0.5× sweetness): Anti-crystallization property, ideal for sugar-free candies and decorative sugar work.
Bulk Sugars / Functional Carbohydrates
- Maltodextrin (~10% sweetness): Soluble bulking agent for beverages, bakery, and sauces.
- Dextrose Anhydrous & Monohydrate (70–75% sweetness): Energy source for beverages, confectionery, and fermentation.
- Liquid Glucose (~75% sweetness): Viscous syrup used in candies, bakery, ice cream, and soft drinks; prevents crystallization.
- High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS 42 & 55, 42–55% fructose): Provides consistent sweetness and viscosity for soft drinks, bakery, and processed foods.
- Polydextrose (~0.25× sweetness): Low-calorie dietary fiber and prebiotic, ideal for sugar-free beverages, bakery, and functional foods.

Foodchem provides detailed formulation guidance, helping manufacturers optimize sweetness, stability, and texture. For example, blending sucralose with Ace-K balances sweetness and reduces aftertaste while maintaining heat stability for baked goods. Polydextrose enhances fiber content and mouthfeel in sugar-free bakery products, and HFCS ensures consistent sweetness and viscosity in beverages.
