Sweeteners (natural and artificial) used in the food industry
PIHLÍK, Pavel
The aim of this work is to introduce the sweeteners which are used in the food industry in the Czech Republic but also in the world. The basic sweetener which is a measure of the other sweeteners is regarded as sugar (sucrose). In this bachelor´s work, I described the history of the production of beet sugar in the Czech Republic, the products which are made of it and also its usage in food industry. Furthermore, I introduce the basic types of sweeteners by which we try to replace the beet sugar. I describe the history, production, characteristics and their usage. These are mainly the natural sweeteners which are divided into the carbohydrate (sucrose, fructose, glucose, honey, lactose and sugar alcohols), non-carbohydrate (stevioside, thaumatin) and artificial align (aspartame, saccharin, cyclamates, acesulfame-K, sucralose).
