Application of Artificial Sweetener and Its Influence on Human Body

甜味剂是一种食品添加剂,它能够使食品具有甜味,我们在很多食用产品中都能看见它的身影,已成为现今食品工业中必不可少的物质。甜味剂的分类方式有很多种,按照来源,可将甜味剂分为天然甜味剂和人工合成甜味剂。天然甜味剂常见的有糖、糖浆、糖醇、一些非糖类天然甜味剂、天然物的衍生甜味剂如氨基酸和二肽衍生物、二氢查尔酮衍生物等。人工合成甜味剂中常见的,也是本文将要着重讨论的有糖精、甜蜜素阿斯巴甜和三氯蔗糖几类物质。人工甜味剂的特征——高甜度、无能量的产生,使得其受到广大消费者的喜爱,其应用也非常广泛,但有研究表明人工甜味剂的使用会对人体健康带来一定的影响,本文将探讨人工合成甜味剂的应用实例,以及人工甜味剂的食用对人体可能带来的影响。
