甜味剂与人体健康的研究进展

Progress of research on sweeteners and human health

该文系统地综述了甜味剂的分类、代谢特点和优势,并重点探讨了各类甜味剂与人体健康之间的关系。甜味剂根据来源和化学结构可分为天然和人工两大类,其代谢特点因具体类型而异。研究表明,过度摄入人工甜味剂可能与肥胖、糖尿病等疾病风险相关;而天然甜味剂(如糖醇类和甜菊糖苷等)可能具有调节肠道菌群、抗炎抗氧化、保肝等有益作用。该文为后续甜味剂加工方向提供参考,尤其为甜味剂与人体健康研究方向提供理论依据。

This paper systematically reviews the classification,metabolic characteristics,and advantages of sweeteners,with a particular focus on exploring the relationship between various sweeteners and human health.Sweeteners can be classified into two main categories based on their sources and chemical structures:natural and artificial,each exhibiting distinct metabolic characteristics.Studies indicate that excessive consumption of artificial sweeteners may be associated with risks of obesity,diabetes,and other diseases,while natural sweeteners such as sugar alcohols and steviol glycosides may possess beneficial effects such as modulating gut microbiota,anti-inflammatory,antioxidant,and hepatoprotective properties.This paper provides a reference for subsequent sweetener processing directions,particularly serving as a theoretical basis for research on the relationship between sweeteners and human health.
