(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, May 12, 2018 ) Sugar free food are very much popular because of their less calorie content. So food industry uses various artificial sweeteners which are low in calorie content instead of high calorie sugar. The global artificial sweetener market records a revenue of USD 3.2 billion in 2016, registering a CAGR of 3.25% during the forecast period.
Rising health concerns, regarding the harmful effects of table sugar, and growing prevalence of lifestyle diseases, like diabetes and heart diseases, have driven people to opt for healthy alternatives like artificial sweeteners. Aspartame and sucralose are the common additives used to sweeten a range of products in food & beverage industry. The global soft drink industry is poised to consume the maximum amount of aspartame.
The food & beverage industry is increasingly replacing sugar or corn syrup with non-nutritive sweeteners. High demand from soft drink and confectionery industries is expected to act as a growth driver for artificial sweeteners market. Diet beverages and low-sugar food for diabetic and diet-conscious consumers are anticipated to be the demand drivers, during the forecast period.
Regulatory approvals by Food & Drug Authority (FDA) and European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to sweeteners, such as aspartame, Ace-K, and saccharin, are also expected to fuel the demand from end-use industries.
The US Food and Drug Administration has approved aspartame, acesulfame-k, neotame, cyclamate and alitame for use as per acceptable daily intake (ADI) value. But, breakdown products of these sweeteners have controversial health and metabolic effects. On the other hand, rare sugars are monosaccharides and have no known health effects because it does not metabolize in our body, but shows same sweet taste and bulk property as sugar.
