Abstract
The European regulation of sweeteners has recently been changed with t he publication and implementation by Member States of Directive 94/35/ EC, which authorizes the use of six bulk sweeteners and six intense sw eeteners for the formulation of reduced energy and/or non-sugar-added foods. An update of the technological properties of the high intensity sweeteners presently authorized in the EU is presented. We also repor t on the use of sweetener combinations as a means to optimize the sens ory properties of the finished product and reduce sweetening costs.
