Artificial sweeteners, also called sugar substitutes or low-calorie sweeteners, are non-calorie high-intensity sweeteners.

Since they have an intense sweet taste, there is a possibility of reducing the use of sugar, which will lead to a reduction in calorie consumption. The availability of a variety of safe sugar substitutes is an advantage for consumers, as it allows food producers to produce a variety of sweet foods and beverages that are safe for dental health and the General well-being of the consumer.
