Sweeteners are widely used in the food industry, providing both sweetness (tens to hundreds of times sweeter than sucrose) and meeting health needs, such as for diabetics or those on low-calorie diets. Natural sweeteners (such as steviol glycosides and mogrosides) and artificial sweeteners (such as aspartame and acesulfame potassium) are the main categories, with the former being more favored in health foods. Sweeteners can also enhance food flavor; for example, they can reduce added sugar in fruit juices by 20-30% while maintaining the desired taste.
