  • Popular Sweeteners and Their Health Effects Based Upon Valid Scientific Data
    Popular Sweeteners and Their Health Effects Interactive Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science By __________________________________ Ivan Lebedev __________________________________ Jayyoung Park __________________________________ Ross Yaylaian Date: Approved: __________________________________ Professor Satya Shivkumar Abstract Perceived health risks of artificial sweeteners are a controversial topic often supported solely by anecdotal evidence and distorted media hype. The aim of this study was to examine popular sweeteners and their health effects based upon valid scientific data. Information was gathered through a sweetener taste panel, interviews with doctors, and an on-line survey. The survey revealed the public’s lack of appreciation for sweeteners. It was observed that artificial sweeteners can serve as a low-risk alternative to natural sweeteners.

  • A Review on Potential Toxicity of Artificial Sweetners Vs Safety of Stevia: a Natural Bio-Sweetner
    Journal of Biology, Agriculture and Healthcare www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-3208 (Paper) ISSN 2225-093X (Online) Vol.4, No.15, 2014 A Review on Potential Toxicity of Artificial Sweetners vs Safety of Stevia: A Natural Bio-Sweetner Ahmad Saad Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics. University of Agriculture Faisalabad, Pakistan E-mail: [email protected] Farooq Ahmad Khan Associate professor, Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics University of Agriculture Faisalabad, Pakistan Abdul Hayee Seed Analyst, Federal Seed Certification and Registration Department Muhammad Sajjad Nazir Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics., University of Agriculture Faisalabad Abstract Artificial sweeteners have increasingly become an area of controversy in the world of food and nutrition. Consumers are oftenly barraged with a number of contradictory opinions and reports regarding the safety and efficacy of sweeteners. Artificial sweetener consumption may cause migraines or headache, skin eruptions, muscle dysfunction, depression, weight gain, liver and kidney effects, multiple sclerosis and blurred vision. But on the other hand natural sweetners like stevia and its products are safe and don’t cause any health problem. So it’s important for the consumer to choose sweeteners with great care. Keywords: Stevia, Artificial Sweeteners, Health Problems, Natural Sweetners, Safety Issues. Objectives Based on valid research, this review aims to provide concrete information on the effects associated with consumption of artificial sweeteners in comparison with stevia which is natural and no side effects on human health. Much anecdotal information is available regarding the effects of artificial sweeteners on human health. A proper understanding regarding effects of sweetners on human health and the difference between natural and artificial sweeteners will help readers and consumers to construct a healthy diet plan and select more suitable sweetners for daily life consumption.

  • Determination of Sodium N-Cyclohexylsulfamate in Food
    Determination of sodium N-cyclohexylsulfamate in food Author Chromatogram Ping Wang, SinoUnison Technology Co., Ltd Experimental background Sodium N-cyclohexylsulfamate, also known as "Sodium cyclamate", is commonly used as food sweeteners in food prodution. It is a non-nutritional sweetener with the sweetness that is 30-40 times of regular table sugar. It serves as an internationally accepted food additives that can be used in refreshing beverages, juices, ice cream, pastry food, preserved fruit, etc. If consumers often have beverages or other foods with excess sweetener content, it may harm the liver and nervous system due to excessive intake. Figure 1: Standard chromatogram of sodium cyclamate. At present, the detection methods of food sweetener content include: LC, GC, LC-MS, ion-exchange Results chromatography, etc. This method refers to "GB/T 5009.97-2016 determination of Sodium N- cyclohexylsulfamate in food". The sample was extrated with water, followed by reaction with sodium hypochlorite in strong acidic solution, forming N,N- Dichlorocyclohexanamine. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used for analysis after extraction with n-heptane. Retention time is used for Conclusion qualitative analysis, and external reference method is This method uses SVEA C18 Gold 5μm 110Å 250*4.6mm used for quantitive analysis.

  • A1207 Rebaudioside M As a Steviol Glycoside from Saccharomyces Cerevisiae
    21 October 2020 [138-20] Supporting document 1 Risk and technical assessment report – Application A1207 Rebaudioside M as a Steviol Glycoside from Saccharomyces cerevisiae Executive summary This application from Amyris Inc. seeks permission in the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code (the Code) for rebaudioside M (Reb M) produced from a genetically modified (GM) Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain. Permitted steviol glycoside preparations are required to conform to a relevant specification in Schedule 3 of the Code, but the applicant’s Reb M currently does not, due to the different method of production. The food technology assessment concludes that Amyris’s Reb M produced from the applicant’s production strain of S. cerevisiae expressing steviol glycoside biosynthesis pathway genes meets the purity parameters of specifications currently listed in the Code – but not the specific method of production. These parameters are also consistent with international purity specifications for steviol glycosides. Its technological purpose matches that of permitted steviol glycoside preparations produced by the currently permitted methods and meets the proposed purpose as an intense sweetener food additive. The host S. cerevisiae strain is neither pathogenic nor toxigenic and has a long history of food use. Analysis of the production strain confirmed the presence and stability of the inserted DNA. The final product does not contain residual protein or DNA and does not give rise to any allergen concerns. An acceptable daily intake (ADI) of 0-4 mg/kg bodyweight for steviol glycosides, expressed as steviol, was established by FSANZ in 2008. This ADI is appropriate for Reb M produced from fermentation, as it is chemically the same as Reb M extracted traditionally from the leaves of S.

  • Sodium Cyclamate
    Sweeteners, Good, Bad, or Something even Worse. (Part 4) These are non-calorie sweeteners other than Aspartame Cyclamate (Sodium Cyclamate) Currently not in the US as per FDA Also labeled as: Sweetener code 952 Calcium Cyclamate Cologram = cyclamate and saccharin; not in US Sucaryl In the United States, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration banned the sale of cyclamate in October 1969 after lab tests in rats involving a 10:1 mixture of cyclamate and saccharin indicated that large amounts of cyclamates causes bladder cancer in rats, a disease to which they are particularly susceptible. Another 1978 study "concluded that neither saccharin nor cyclamate is likely to be carcinogenic in man." Cyclamates are still used as sweeteners in many parts of the world, including Europe. Saccharin Also labeled as: Acid Saccharin Equal Saccharin Necta Sweet Sodium Saccharin Sweet N Low Sweet Twin Foods containing saccharin no longer carry a label stating that the "use of this product may be hazardous to your health ...contains saccharin which has been determined to cause cancer in laboratory animals." This warning was lifted in 2001 by the American FDA as saccharin no longer has been connected to cancer in human beings, or so they say. Saccharin may be present in drugs in substantial amounts. Ingestion of the recommended daily dosage of chewable aspirin or acetaminophen tablets in a school-age child would provide approximately the same amount of saccharin contained in one can of a diet soft drink. This amount, relative to the body weight of a child younger than 9 or 10 years, ingested for prolonged periods would be considered as "heavy use," as defined in a major large-scale FDA/National Cancer Institute epidemiologic study.
