Background: Artificial sweeteners are chemically synthesized substances used to add sweetness to foods. Representative substances include aspartame and acesulfame-K, which are 200 times sweeter than sugar. Recently, the IARC classified aspartame as class 2B, but Ministry of Food and Drug Safety of South Korea announced that it would maintain the current usage standards. Acesulfame-K, which has the potential to cause cancer, was excluded from the list of possible carcinogens, raising questions about its safety. According to a survey by the Consumers Union of Korea, 85% of makgeolli includes artificial sweeteners, but the content labelling is not indicated. It is necessary to accurately determine the intake of artificial sweeteners through makgeolli. Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the safety of makgeolli consumption by identifying the content of artificial sweeteners (aspartame, acesulfam-K) and preservatives (sorbic acid). Methods: Twenty makgeolli samples were purchased from large supermarkets and convenience stores by referring to the sales ranking of makgeolli products distributed in South Korea and the purchase ranking from online sites. The sample was sonicated to remove alcohol and carbon dioxide. Nine mL of acetonitrile was mixed with 1 mL of the prepared sample, centrifuged, and the supernatant was filtered and analyzed using HPLC. Results: As a result of the analysis, aspartame was detected in 17 products and acesulfame-K was detected in ten. The ADI of aspartame (40 mg/kg·bw/day) is higher than the EDI based on the maximum concentration 126.5 ㎍/mL. The ADI of acesulfame-K (15 mg/kg·bw/day) is higher than the EDI based on the highest concentration of 82.96 ㎍/mL. Although the health risk is low, IARC has raised the possibility of aspartame causing carcinogenesis, so there is a need to reevaluate the standards and regulations for artificial sweeteners. Conclusions: Through this study, we aimed to determine the content of aspartame and acesulfame-K contained in makgeolli currently distributed in South Korea and the safety of exposure to the human body when consumed.

The purpose of this study was to identify appropriate sweeteners that could improve the dryness, while reducing calorie by adding various sweeteners to Sulgitteok using dry non-glutinous rice flour. Of six sweeteners (sucrose, trehalose, honey, acesulfame K, oligosaccharide, and erythritol) added, Sulgitteok with acesulfame K had the highest moisture content, whereas Sulgitteok with trehalose had the lowest moisture content. The moisture content of all samples were decreased when storage period was increased except the sample added with trehalose. Sulgitteok with erythritol had the highest L-value, whereas Sulgitteok with oligosaccharide had the lowest L-value. The L-value and b-value of Sulgitteok samples decreased when storage period was increased. Sulgitteok with trehalose had the highest hardness, whereas Sulgitteok with oligosaccharide had the lowest hardness. The hardness increased in all samples when storage period was increased. Sulgitteok sweetened with acesulfame K and honey had the highest acceptance.

This study was conducted to determine the quality characteristics of grape jellies for the elderly. The jellies contained sugar (control) or sugar derivative sweeteners (erythritol, isomaltooligosaccharide, sorbitol, and xylitol). Agar (0.31%) and $\kappa$-carrageenan (0.27%) were the gelling agents. The average age of the subjects participating in the acceptance test was 79. The lightness (L), redness (a), and yellowness (b) values of the agar gel with erythritol mostly decreased, indicating a darker and pale red color. The L and b values of the carrageenan gel with sugar derivative sweeteners increased, indicating brighter and yellowish color. The agar and carrageenan gels with sorbitol showed higher gelling and melting temperature, indicating that gelation occurred easily and did not easily melt. The agar and carrageenan gels with xylitol showed a low-melting temperature, indicating low stability with temperature change. The break-down rate of the agar and carrageenan gels with erythritol was low, whereas that of agar gel with sorbitol was relatively high despite its high melting temperature. Hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness of the gels with sugar derivative sweeteners decreased, and this tendency was most distinct with isomaltooligosaccharide in the agar gel and with sorbitol in the carrageenan gel. The rupture properties of the gel were the same as the hardness of the gel. Sensory acceptance of the agar gels with erythritol, sorbitol, isomaltooligosaccharide, and the carrageenan gel with erythritol was fairly high, whereas that of the agar gel with xylitol and the carrageenan gel with isomaltooligosaccharide and xylitol was low. The results show that sorbitol and erythritol are appropriate as sugar substitutes in grape jellies for the elderly about the acceptability and stability of the gels.

The demand for new alternative "low calorie" sweeteners for dietetic and diabetic purposes has increased worldwide. Although the currently developed and commercially used highly sweet sucrose substitutes are mostly synthetic compounds, the search for such compounds from natural sources is continuing. As of mid-2002, over 100 plant-derived sweet compounds of 20 major structural types had been reported, and were isolated from more than 25 different families of green plants. Several of these highly sweet natural products are marketed as sweeteners or flavoring agents in some countries as pure compounds, compound mixtures, or refined extracts. These highly sweet natural substances are reviewed herein.

In order to reduce the obesity incidence, the development of sugarless, low calorie foods and ingredients are required, so normally quality substantially sugarless or fat free food composition comprising a flavoring amount of a low calorie sweeteners such as sugar alcohol, oligosaccharide and natural high sweeteners including stevia, aspartam, sucralose for food processing because of the malady of livelihood habit cause by the obesity. In as much as common sugar is high in calories and its sweetening effect can be obtained with relatively low calorie artificial sweeteners such as stevia, aspartame many products have been offered which are sugar-free, the sweetening effect being obtained with and artificial sweetener.

The characteristics of sponge cakes containing sucrose or other sweeteners for diabetes mellitus patients were investigated through physical measurement and sensory evaluation. The results are as follows: The physical properties of cake batters and cakes with sweeteners were different from each other in viscosity, specific gravity, standing height, firmness, and springiness. from the result of sensory evaluation, it was shown that cakes containing sorbitol and fructose had high quality even though they were not as good as cake with sucrose. However, cakes with saccarine and stevioside showed much difference compared with cake with sucrose. The characteristics of sponge cake with combined sweeteners (sorbitol plus stevioside) were compairable to those of sucrose cake. There was little difference in specific gravity. The result of sensory evaluation indicated the combined use of both sweetenes could produce bette cakes than either stevioside or sorbitol. Practical utilization of this cake would be provided under the sensory evaluation on these cakes by diabetes mellitus patients.
