Recently, due to the cognition that obesity is the cause of adult diseases, interests of consumers in low-sugar and low-calorie foods are growing more and more. While various policies are being implemented to reduce sugar contents in processed foods, the reduced sweetness caused by lesser sugar content is complemented by using high-intensity sweeteners. Some of the typical high-intensity sweeteners are sucralose, aspartame, acesulfame potassium and stevia, etc. Since the relative sweetness degree, sweetness profile, and physical properties of these sweeteners should be different from one another, it is important that all these characteristics are well-understood before applying them. Thus, the objective of this study is to introduce the properties and applications of high-intensity sweeteners in order to reduce sugar content of processed foods.

The concerns over obesity and obesity-related health problems are increasing as many consumers relate these health problems with sugar. The demand for sugar reduction is also rising and regulatory movement by governments including Korea is driven to reflect such demand. For the past decades, there have been diverse development and marketing of various sweeteners to substitute sucrose and high fructose corn syrup. Low caloric alternative sweeteners can be divided into high intensity sweeteners that have greater sweetness potency compared to sucrose, and low intensity sweeteners such as polyols, oligosaccharides and rare sugars that have less sweetness potency. This paper discusses representative low caloric alternative sweeteners, their market and trend.

Objectives: The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is increasing globally, and excessive added sugar consumption has been identified as one of the contributing factors. In the context of IBD, it is essential to explore functional sweeteners that can improve metabolic health and minimize the risk of IBD-related symptoms. This review article aims to shed light on the effects of natural mono- and di-saccharides as alternative sweeteners, specifically focusing on potential benefits for IBD. Methods: A comprehensive literature review was performed using PubMed and Google Scholar databases with articles published after the year 2000. The search terms 'IBD', 'added sugar', 'sweeteners', 'mono-saccharide', and 'di-saccharide' were combined to retrieve relevant articles. A total of 21 manuscripts, aligning with the objectives of the study, were selected. Papers focusing on artificial or high-intensity sweeteners were excluded to ensure relevant literature selection. Results: Multiple studies have emphasized the association between the high consumption of added sugars such as simple sugars and the increased risk of developing IBD. This is suggested to be attributed to the induction of pro-inflammatory cytokine productions and dysbiosis of the gut microbiota. Consequently, there is a growing demand for safe and functional sweeteners, in particular mono- and di-saccharides, that can serve as alternatives for IBD patients. Those functional sweeteners regulate inflammation, oxidative stress, and Intestinal barrier protection, and restore microbiome profiles in various IBD models including cells, animals, and humans. Conclusions: Understanding these mechanisms resolves the link between how sugar consumption and IBD, and highlights the beneficial effects of natural alternative sweeteners on IBD when they were administered by itself or as a replacement for simple sugar. Further, exploration of this relationship leads us to recognize the necessity of natural alternative sweeteners in dietary planning. This knowledge could potentially lead to more effective dietary strategies for individuals with IBD.

본 실험에서는 설탕과 유사한 단맛 특성을 보이는 고강도 감미료의 혼합 비율을 결정하기 위해 기준 되는 설탕 용액과 동일 단맛 강도를 주는 아스파탐의 농도를 설정하여 이를 기준으로 아스파탐과 아세설팜칼륨, 아스파탐과 수크랄로스, 아세설팜칼륨과 스테비오사이드의 비율을 각각 5:5, 7:3, 9:1, 10:0으로 달리하여, 증류수와 pH 3.2인 구연산 완충액에 용해시킨 여러 감미료 용액을 제조하여 혼합 고강도 감미료의 단맛 및 기타 여러 관능적 특성을 조사하였다. 고강도 감미료를 혼용 사용함으로써 단맛과 삼킨 후 단맛은 유의적으로 강하게 평가되었으며, 깨끗한 맛, 떫은맛, 쓴맛, 금속맛, 뒷맛(단맛이외의 맛)은 기준용액과 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았으며, 아스파탐에 아세설팜칼륨을 5:5로 혼용 사용하는 것이 가장 바람직한 관능적 특성을 나타내었다. 저장 기간 동안 온도에 따른 구연산 완충액상에서 아스파탐과 아세설팜칼륨의 혼용 비율에 따른 저장 기간 및 단맛 강도의 변화를 조사해보았다. 구연산 완충액(pH 3.5)에 감미료의 혼용 비율을 달리하여, $40^{\circ}C$와 $50^{\circ}C$에 저장하면서, HPLC로 감미료의 $20\%$ 가 분해된 시점에 이른 시간을 계산하였으며, 이 결과로부터 $Q_10$ 값을 산출하였다. 이를 토대로 20, $30^{\circ}C$에서의 저장기간을 예측하였다. $Q_10$ 값은 2.01-2.25 이었으며, 이 값들을 토대로 저장기간을 계산하면, 아세설팜칼륨의 혼용 비율이 높아질수록 저장기간이 길어져서, $50\%$로 혼용하였을 때 가장 긴 저장기간이 산정되어 $20^{\circ}C$에서는 178일, $30^{\circ}C$에서는 88일이 예측되었다. 아스파탐과 아세설팜칼륨의 혼용비율을 5:5, 7:3, 9:1로 달리하여 구연산 완충액 상에 녹인 후, 20, 40, $60^{\circ}C$에서 저장하였다 크기 추정법을 이용하여 단맛을 측정한 결과 20일간의 저장 기간 동안 $20^{\circ}C$와 $40^{\circ}C$에서는 단맛이 유지되는 것으로 나타났다.

To investigate the optimum ratio of sucrose replacement with high intensity sweeteners, the sensory characteristics and consumer acceptability of coffee drinks containing sucralose and acesulfame-K were studied using descriptive analysis and consumer testing. The relative sweetness of the sucralose and acesulfame-K to sucrose were 600-700 and 200-400 times greater, respectively, within the coffee drink system. The sucrose-replaced coffee drinks containing 100% sucralose, as well as mixtures of sucralose/acesulfame-K in ratios of 75/25 and 50/50, showed sensory profiles that were more similar to those of the original 100% sucrose coffee drink, which had a greater sweet taste, vegetable cream, caramel flavor, viscosity, and mouthcoating. These samples were not different from the 100% sucrose sample in terms of overall consumer acceptability.

The purpose of this study was to propose optimal mixing proportion by adding stevia in powder form, which are low caloric and high intensity sweetener to cookies, and to determine the characteristic of product. It reduced the average sugar content of cookies to 50%, processed stevia powder, add them in 2, 4, 6, and 8% to make cookies and measured various product characteristics, including anti-oxidant activity. The antioxidant activity was highly correlated with the total phenolic composition of stevia cookies (r=0.967). Total phenolic contents and DPPH free radical scavenging activity of cookies significantly increased with increasing stevia powder. The bulk density of the dough, spread factor and the hardness, total polyphenol contents and DPPH free radical scavenging activity of cookies significantly increased with increasing stevia powder, while the pH of the dough, and L values of the cookies decreased with increasing stevia powder content (p<0.001). Additionally, the consumer acceptability scores for the 4% stevia cookie groups ranked significantly (p<0.001) higher than those of the other groups in color, taste, flavor, sweetness and overall preference. All the take together, the results of this study suggest that stevia powder is a good ingredient for increasing the consumer acceptability and the functionality of cookies.

Sucralose는 식품 분야에서 sucrose 대체물로 사용되며 세계적으로 승인된 무열량 고강도 인공 감미료이다. 하지만 감미료가 뇌에 미치는 영향에 대한 조사는 미비하여 본 연구에서 scopolamine으로 유발된 기억력 손상 동물모델에서 sucralose 단기 섭취가 인지 및 기억 보호 효과를 가지는지 확인하였다. Sucralose 2, 5, 10 mg/kg를 경구투여하였으며 30분 후 대조군, 약물군에 scopolamine (1mg/kg) 복강투여를 진행하였고 정상군에는 식염수로 복강투여 후 행동실험을 수행하였다. 결과적으로 Y-maze, passive avoidance, Morris water maze에서 대조군과 비교해 10% 이상의 인지기능이 회복되는 결과를 도출하였다. 또한, 전염증성 사이토카인을 측정한 결과 sucralose가 IL-6와 TNF-α를 30% 이상 억제하는 것을 보였으며 세포 내 신호 메커니즘으로 ERK-CREB의 발현량을 관찰한 결과 농도 의존적으로 증가하였다. 따라서 sucralose는 건망증 환자의 예방과 치료를 위한 기능성 식품과 관련이 있다고 시사된다.
